Day 4
I'm on day 4 cold turkey. Day 4 is a breath of fresh air. Most of the more intense withdrawal symptoms have subsided and other than a craving here and there, I feel mostly normal again.
Days 1-3 was constant brain fog, cravings and headaches. I just kept telling myself "I am sick of nicotine and sick of the control over my mind. This feeling is the result of the control nicotine has over me and it is what it is. It will not last forever, but it will be what I feel today, all day."
Yesterday I came close to breaking and if a Zyn was around I probably would've taken it. My mind started to play tricks on me- "Are Zyns really THAT bad?!?" and that's when I had to tell myself again, "nicotine controls my thoughts, it is what it is, and I will get through this nicotine-free". Even if Zyn's aren't as bad as smoking, it's still nicotine controlling me and I do not want that.
Take it moment to moment and distract yourself as much as you can. Days 1-3 are going to be difficult. But it gets MUCH better, I promise.
