Strong emotional attachments, addictions are.
It's akin to breaking free from an abusive lover.
I had no such luck with the tapering method.
I used the gum. It's not like chewing regular gum, you just chew it a few times
till you feel the peppery tingle, and then park it between cheek and gum.
It truly helped with my ballistic rageful anger.
I was working a 'custom window covering' job where I spent two to three hours
dealing with sometimes arguing couples who were trying to find the 'right' shade of green,
to match their fourth bathroom.
And then I would go home and exercise till I was gasping for healthy air.
When a craving would hit, I would breathe very deeply for a few minutes,
and within five minutes, the craving would ease.
Exercise was the perfect exorcism. Oh yes, crying happens.
Giving up a loved one hurts, even though we know they are bad for us.
You can do this, you feisty fighter.
