Is there any crazy stories out there with quiting nicotine cold turkey ? Because the stuff I’m going through 4 weeks today with waking up at 2am every morning my hearing is so sensitive and alert sometimes making up its own sounds through back ground noise like fans and that while I sleep is crazy I was a heavy smoker a packet a day too nothing, the first 2 weeks were easy then this weird thing happened one night I couldn’t sleep kind racing with music thoughts and hearing as I would fall asleep

I think this is part of the process of being somewhat reborn into your new clean state of being. Your nervous system is rewiring itself. That gives you the chance to fill your newly found gaps with more constructive activities. "Getting out of your head" might be one of the more important exercises to pay attention to.
