I started, I don't know, sometime a long time ago, at 24mg. I cut quickly down to 18, then 12. Then I was a long while at 8, tried to cut to 4 but it didn't go so well, so then I spent probably a year at 6. Then last year I cut to 3 for most of the year (with the occasional 6 days here and there ya know, it was uncomfortable for a few weeks). Then over the past few months I started to notice my cravings reduced - as in I could put if off longer, more easily, than before.
So when I restocked this year I decided to buy all 0mg and pick up the nic separately. I loaded several bottles at 1mg...and holy crap, surprise surprise, I'm okay with this.
I feel just a slight edginess, but it's no big deal, easy to ignore. Experience tells me an edge this light will fade out very quickly. But I'm wondering now if I can go down to zero actual zero? I feel like I need that placebo still - like I could add a couple of drops of 100mg to a 30ml bottle (effectively 0mg) and be okay because I know there's some nic in there so it must be working, but if I KNOW IT'S A REAL ZERO it just won't do. I'm going to have to do some mental gymnastics to trick myself into going actual zero eventually.
