How to stop shisha addiction?
I was told that shisha was not addictive but now I find myself craving it every single day. I cannot go without it or I cannot sleep or function properly. I feel pathetic and low. I've never felt so depressed and bad in my entire life. Heck, I've never spent so much money on something like this crap in my entire life. I don't even have an addictive personality so I don't know why I'm so...addicted!
Please, help me kick this habit. It's terrible, making me broke, and ruining my life. It's ruining my life. What do I do? How do I stop smoking shisha? I'm begging for real help here.

chewing gum a lot of times help you stop smoking and if that still doesn't work you can always go and get a patch from the you doctor. that helps you stop smoking

You're awfully condescending for someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.
Nicotine is out of your system within a week or two. The continued craving for a cigarette comes from the habitual smoking. It's not uncommon for smokers to smoke when stressed or busy, and that comforting habit is hard to shake.
Further, "nicotine withdrawl" is not the same thing as wanting a cigarette. There are specific physical symptoms that result from the body needing and wanting nicotine, and these symptoms are short lived. If you look at other chemically addictive substances it is the same. People who drink coffee regularly will suffer a withdraw upon ceasing which can include headaches, nausea, etc. These symptoms are usually a few days to a week depending on regularity of useage. Heroin addicts will want to shoot up to escape life long after they have stopped suffering the physical withdraw symptoms, sometimes even years later when the actual sickness is over in a matter of weeks.
That's the point. The not being able to sleep is a withdraw symptom. Other crap feelings can be attributed to the same, which would cease after probably a week or a week and a half. The continued desire to smoke because it's a habit can and often does last longer.
Don't be a condescending ass to people who are older than you and who know more than you do about what's being discussed. I've been smoking for 8 years, by the way.
Your father's brain does not crave nicotine, your father's brain craves the habitual comfort of a cigarette. That too can be a powerful desire, but it has nothing to do with nicotine and you have no idea what you're talking about.
:/edit:
It's probably specifically a nicotine addiction. Shisha is tobacco usually treated with some form of flavor/smell stuff.
Shisha, to the best of my knowledge, is less regulated than cigarettes as to what level of nicotine it contains. Consider nicotine gum/patch, that would likely help considerably.
The other good-ish news here is that nicotine withdraw is usually relatively short lived. If you just quit, you might feel like crap for a few days and then you'll likely level out at a week tops of just feeling a little shittier than usual.
