Hi, thanks for sharing that. I feel Im being sabotoged sometimes too. Ever since I started using any form of substance I have felt that way. I stopped everything except nicotine for a while, then recently stared drinking a little. I think the paranoia is a complex problem. Maybe it exists...maybe other people are just sort of stupid and dont realize what they do to trigger those feelings. Maybe it doesnt really exist but is a symptom of withdrawel.
Maybe its any number of things. I do try to avoid people who bother me like that, but I cant avoid everyone forever. I guess I just have to do the best I can and ignore their behaviors and what they say that bothers me.
Have you tried any stop smoking aids? Pills and ecigs have helped me...but I still havent quit all the way. The past two weeks I was dipping almost every day. I was actually trying to quit the lozenges (I think they can still build up on in your organs...or at least keep you hooked on needing that buzz). Thought I could just dip occasionally and switch things up. I got fed up with the dipping tho. I know how bad it is and have been fighting it for several years now. Thats why I came to the site.
I warched those videos by that doctor. It was comforting to hear that nicotine itself does not cause cancer and I should use the lozenges or whatever as long as I need to. I'm gonna stick to that credo.
I just got some gum now at 2 mg - I usually got 4 mg lozenges. Maybe the fact that I dont like the gum as much will help too. I also liked the tip about using things in combination. I didnt do that before.
Well theres my all-mighty nicotine head rant lol...maybe a problem with us nicotine people...overconfident from the dopamine!
Keep nicotine free!
