Day 3 on Cytisine (Desmoxan/Recigar): Down to 0 cigarettes, but struggling with the idea of giving up my tobacco-free joints. Looking for advice/experiences!
Hey everyone,
I’m currently at the end of Day 3 of my cytisine treatment (using Desmoxan/Recigar), and I honestly i feel like not using cigarettes is much simple than any other attempt. We ll see on medium periodo.
The cravings have drastically dropped. Today, I smoked zero cigarettes.
To give you some context, just three days ago I was a heavy user: I was smoking around 26/30 cigarettes and 5 joints (mixed 50/50 with tobacco with big paper) every single day. Today, I am at 0 cigarettes and I've cut down to about 3 or 4 small joints that are half the size of my old ones, and most importantly, 100% tobacco-free/pure weed.
Tomorrow is the day I’m supposed to completely throw away my cigarettes and cut them out for good. The crazy thing is, the idea of throwing away the cigarettes doesn’t even scare me—which would have been unthinkable before starting cytisine. What does scare me is the thought of giving up those few pure weed joints. Even though I’ve drastically reduced the amount and completely eliminated the tobacco from them, the mental habit of smoking them is still holding a strong grip on me.
My question for those who have used cytisine/Desmoxan, or anyone who has transitioned away from a heavy nicotine + weed habit: Should I force myself to quit the pure weed joints right now too? Will keeping them ruin my cytisine treatment or trick my brain into keeping the smoking ritual alive, even if there's no nicotine in the weed?
I'd love to hear some advice, insights, or support from anyone who has been through this. Thanks in advance!
