I’ve been a daily user for about 6 years, around a can a day of 3mg. I’ve tried to quit a few times before and it never really stuck, but this past Sunday I ran out and just decided I wasn’t going to buy more.

I’m now on day 4. I’m using 14 mg nicotine patches to help, but today has been the hardest day so far. I felt really overwhelmed, anxious, and honestly kind of “out of it” and ended up having to leave work early.

I don’t really have the desire to go buy more at this point, but I just want to feel normal again. I know logically it should get better soon and I just need to stick it out, but today has been rough and discouraging.

Just looking for some support from people who’ve been through this or reassurance that this phase passes.
