Ya know, for me the whole quit thing has been emotional. I've had some physical withdrawal - but in my case it's been masked with a severe sinus infection (who'd a thought this would be a blessing?)
I'm on step 3 of my quit - re-entry to work. I did a week on vacation, then a week at home alone to face my temptations alone (hubby had to go back to work). I've already had one of my famous melt-downs today (I work tech-support and it's high stress on a normal day; lately I've had a bunch of crazy people trying things they have no business doing) - and survived without nicotine.
If nicotine would make my users smarter & more motivated to think, I think I'd start again...but thankfully, it doesn't do that. Phil, I'm with you on the NRT - just prolongs the agony, methinks and postpones the adjustment to your brain & body without nicotine. But it's not for everyone... hubby's quit is very different from mine, as are his coping methods.
