3 days after quitting is when withdrawal symptoms are the strongest.
There is a book called "The easy way to stop smoking" by Allen Carr. There is also a free pdf version somewhere on the internet. It might help, or not, I don't know.
Oops, wrong one. It's "quit easy" by Jim Trimmer.

Sounds like a extremely stressful situation you're in. It's not the easiest to quit while under so much stress. Hope you get through it.

I've attempted quitting nicotine a few times, once successfully for about 6 months. For me at least, the first month or so was BAD. My suicidal thoughts were at an all time high.

If you're a regular nicotine user, you're regularly supplying your brain with dopamine hits. Your brain adjusts to this by producing less dopamine naturally. When you quit, your dopamine levels are on the floor, even worse when you didn't have much to begin with (which is the case for many people with depression and other disorders). It takes time but it does get back to a baseline.

I completely understand though, it sucks. The only way out is through though. I personally did feel a lot better about 3 months or so into quitting

It takes the average smoker 7+ tries to quit. Don't beat yourself up over failing. Just try again. Take it one day, one hour, one craving at a time. You can do it!

i hate to think how many times i "quit" before i succeeded. its hard, dont beat up on yourself not succeeding the first try

Quitting is very difficult. Try not to beat yourself up over it. It's a very difficult process, and there will be missteps. It took me a year to go completely off of nicotine, and I still get cravings myself. Are you trying to quit cold turkey or use something like a patch or gum to wean yourself off?
