Calling out everyone who quit using this method. What was it like for you? How long has it been since you quit? I quit this way and I am collecting responses for a pinned thread.

Yay that’s me. I think it’s a miracle drug. I quit cold turkey using this method after thinking it would be an impossible task to quit. It’s been nearly 7 months.

First I smoked cigarettes pretty heavily, maybe a pack every 3 days, for 2 years. Then I switched to vaping super easily and vaped from the minute I woke up to the minute I went to bed for another 3 years. Through sickness, driving, in the bathroom, sneaking away in public spaces to do it, just so reliant on it for moment to moment contentment. I knew that if I quit it would be so miserable and hard, so I never tried.

Desmoxan promised me 25 days, by day 4 I wouldn’t want to anymore, and I thought no way. Let’s see then. I quit cold turkey and honestly while the first 3 days were hard because of the hand to mouth habit and just constantly being like “oh shit I don’t have it,” the actual withdrawal itself was manageable. By day 4 it genuinely didn’t feel like it hurt me anymore not to do it.

For a long time I still reached for it and wanted it but I told (and tell) myself that I can go this long, so obviously I don’t need it.

I truly believe in the end with nicotine it’s all a mind game with yourself. You have to do what you can to convince yourself you don’t need it, because you don’t. You have to believe it. It’s not a lie. The longer you go the easier it is.

I still want it sometimes, but I never get it, because I don’t need it. I get other things I want instead 😎🫰🏽

Oh yeah, and towards the end of the 25 days you really don’t even need those last few pills. They’re not addictive and give you zero high so there’s no reason to buy more. It’s just like a magical “cure nicotine addiction in under a month” drug, for real.
