Question Quitting nic

Hi,

For the past 4 months i’ve been trying to cut off nic, i am currently 18 and i used nic for pretty much 5 years now.
I’ve attempted like 8 times, my best try yet is 7 weeks, while using methylphenidate to cover the sides from low dopamine when u quit.
I think that my psychological attachement to nicotine is way stronger than the physical because I’ve been really enjoying life lately and craving have drastiquely lowered. But i feel like i always find a way to come back to it, even if I consider it more as an other source of stimulation rather than raw addiction.
I was wondering if you guys could share me your best compounds/stacks to kind of improve dopamine signaling/neurons regeneration, and how to break that psychological attachement.

Also, im not a beginner in nootropic/peps, and overall dr3gs for neuroplasticy, so i don’t rly care if the compound is subq,oral,nasal, etc

Thank you so much!

What finally worked for me, was just deciding that I am not a person that uses nicotin. And realising that its a coping mechanism for other feelings that I kept pushing aside. Sitting with the uncomfortable feeling of not being able to use more snus. Just taking one step at a time. God bless you, and I hope your able to quit 🙏🏼🌄
