advice please

[Veryveryvery]

So, week 4 of not smoking. I am using the mouth spray.
Things should be getting easier but I feel so depressed/ tearful all the time.
Everything is so overwhelming and I don't know what to do.
So sorry for the kids who see me crying all the time and I just can't shake it off.
Surely after 4 weeks this should be getting better?
Don't know what to do. Is this just withdrawal or something else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Don't want to go down the vapeing route .

You poor person

Remember that the addiction of smoking isn't just about the nicotine, it's also a mixture of all the other nasty chemicals you get from burning tobacco plus the hand to mouth habit - that's one reason why people who have gone down the vaping route tend to be successful, they still get that habit satisfied.

There's something like 4000 different substances emitted by cigarettes which interact with each other making the addiction much worse than pure nicotine, which you are getting with the spray.

Have you checked that you're using enough of the spray to replace the nicotine you are missing? You need to first wean yourself off the other crap THEN start to reduce the nicotine (which in itself isn't actually the harmful aspect of smoking)

Active thank you that makes a lot of sense.
