Many thanks to all who replied. I've tried patches and gum before and I ended up getting twice the nicotine as I kept smoking. I'll try halving my smokes for now. It was a great idea and thankyou but I've been down that path before. I was more wondering if anyone else has the half dead feelings? Today is my last day with a hangover as I am seeing my pyschiatrist tomorrow. But I don't know if its the hangover or not as I felt half dead still after 3 days off. I admit I feel more half dead now but are just worried.
