Been 2 weeks on my progress to quit nicotine. Possible advice for others
I vaped and smoked for 9 years. I’m 22 now. I have many reasons for why I’m quitting. Tired of spending $40 a month. Tired of needing a device to determine whether or not I was happy. Tired of tweaking out looking all over my room and car for when I loose it. Tired of it falling out of my lap on the ground and flying into different pieces. I looked so dumb grabbing it off the floor and blowing it off. Tired of never having any endurance because my lungs would start to suffer after 1 minute of cardio. Tired of my girl complaining about the weird taste when we would kiss.
9 years of running around letting a paper stick or piece of plastic determine my mood and causing damage to my teeth.
Before I get into explaining myself I want to make a disclaimer that I’m not promoting nicotine usage, I’m only trying to share my experience of what works to get off a little easier…
I tried to quit cold turkey at first and holy crap I just wanted to die. Constantly angry. Constantly on edge. Waking up and my lungs would be burning from withdrawal.
So I started taking nicotine pouches. Started off at 4mg till the pack ran out and i just lowered the dosage to 2mg tonight. It’s been working so well. For anyone who is also trying to use nic pouches to quit vaping, DO NOT use Zyn’s. Use ON! instead. I’ve noticed myself itching for another Zyn every 30 minutes after discarding one. I tried going down from 4mg ON! To 3mg Zyn and i definitely felt cravings more often on Zyns.
Again im not saying to use these things, im just saying they’ve definitely helped in my progress to quitting. Im sure others can relate to what it’s like trying to quit cold turkey. Just sucks. I want to be completely off nicotine by next month. Hopefully.
