My doctor has been very understanding of my situation and suggested nicotine replacement for me rather than cold turkey because of the suicidal depressions and crying jags I would go on without ciggies. During my last visit I told him I was now hooked on the stupid nicotine gum and didn’t know if I could get off of it. He told me that nicotine gets a bad rap and that I may benefit from a certain amount of it in my system due to reasons you mentioned above in your post. He said he would rather I chewed the gum for the rest of my life than smoked. I hope not to chew for years and years, but I am no longer beating myself up over it as it is a much healthier alternative. I pray your docs will come up with a good quit plan that works for you. And keep trying. You’ve come too far to give up now!!!
