NIC PROTOCOL
You have tried to quit before. Here is what was missing.
The average person tries to quit smoking 8 to 10 times before succeeding. Not because quitting is impossible. Because most quit tools treat the symptom, not the receptor.
Built on 12 clinical trials of the most effective natural nicotine cessation compound most people have never heard of.
Patches miss the point
Nicotine Replacement Therapy replaces nicotine. It does not address the upregulated receptor density that drives craving. You are maintaining the addiction at a lower level, not recovering from it.
Apps lack the physical dimension
Every quit app tracks your streak. None of them ships anything. Behavioral support alone has a lower success rate than combined behavioral and supplemental intervention. The research is unambiguous.
Cold turkey has the lowest success rate
Only 3-5% of cold turkey attempts succeed past 6 months. Not because the person lacks willpower. Because going cold turkey provides no neurochemical support for an overwhelmed receptor system.
Most cessation products fail here. Relapsd was built for exactly this.
How it works
ASSESS
A 7-step intake identifies your substance, your usage level, your quit history, and your highest-risk triggers. Your protocol is built from this, not a template.
RECEIVE
Your first shipment arrives within 3-5 days. Supplements formulated for your specific withdrawal biology, not a generic stack.
TRACK
The app tracks your streak, logs cravings as they happen, and adapts your protocol week by week. The system gets smarter as your data builds.
Cigarettes upregulate your brain's nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These receptors do not normalize overnight. The Relapsd NIC protocol is designed around the timeline of that normalization.
Every cigarette floods the same alpha-4 beta-2 receptor system with nicotine, and chronic use multiplies those receptors. Stopping leaves a receptor system that is both oversized and unoccupied, which is felt as relentless craving, plus a dopamine baseline that drops for two to four weeks before it recovers. The protocol sequences craving support, mood and focus support through the dip, and sleep protection, matched to where your receptors are in their recovery rather than to a fixed calendar.

The app
Emergency Craving Mode
One tap when a craving hits. Most cravings peak at 3 minutes. The timer shows you this.
Protocol Tracker
Week-by-week guidance calibrated to where your receptors are in their recovery.
Trigger Analysis
After 14 days of logs, identifies your three highest-risk moments and when to act before they hit.
Mood Tracking
The week-two dopamine dip is documented. The app flags it before it becomes a relapse.
Relapse Recovery
Non-judgmental restart. Every relapse is analyzed. The protocol adjusts.
The Streak Vault
All previous attempts preserved as data, not shame.
“Pack a day for eleven years. I am on day 62. The thing that was different was understanding why week two was actually harder than week one. I would have quit the quit without that context.”
marcus
“A pack a day since college. The week-two warning in the app is what kept me from calling it. I knew the dip was coming.”
theresa
“The step-down schedule meant I never went cold turkey. By the time I hit zero it barely registered.”

2,847 people are currently on the NIC protocol.

Eight previous attempts is not failure. It is the data that makes attempt nine different.
