I'm going to make this quick as possible so that no one will be deterred by my overly verbose entries. Brevity is the sole of wit after all. I decided to make up my own taper plan drawing on previous failed attempts. I planned to cut back very gradually on the smoking. Then switch to the gum when I felt ready.
But I had a secret weapon. Bali Kratom (its the only strain that really "works" for me). So I chewed a shit ton of gum and took a lot of kratom. I also switched to regular weed so that I would have more quantity to smoke. The transition wasn't so terrible.
I weaned off the nicotine gum next over the course of 20 days or so. The kratom I took for about 45 days after that if I could guess. Just stopped the kratom CT basically and went a few days with no withdrawal symptoms except a bit of boredom. So I'm in the clear as far as kratom addiction (still a fair trade if I did get addicted though).
And there you go. I'm nicotine free. I switched back to my dank weed and will be enjoying kratom again as soon as my massive tolerance drops a lot. It costs me a lot of money and effort. But over the course of 3 months I went from a daily smoker and chewer to having the occasional VERY mild craving.
No longer will I stumble to a gas station at three in the morning for a can of chaw. Free at last thank god almighty I'm free at last.
