I have decided to stop with nicotine pouches. Nicotine sucks, it causes my energy to be lower and I can't run as fast (restricts blood flow) + higher resting heart rate. I have tried stopping cold turkey previously and it has never worked. Now I will use nicotine patches for 6 weeks, cutting away a 6th (of the/a patch) per week.

This time I've decided that I pretty much need all help I can get so I'm planning to make one post per week. I will update the text of weekly post daily to mark off each day of that week. Hold me accountable for fucking up faggots.

(Hopefully this post fits in this sub even though it's nicotine pouches and not cigarettes)

Plan:

15 jan to 21 jan: One whole nicotine patch

22 jan to 28 jan: 5 6ths of a nicotine patch

29 jan to 4 feb: 4 6ths of a nicotine patch

5 feb to 11 feb: 3 6ths of a nicotine patch

12 feb to 18 feb 2 6ths of a nicotine patch

19 feb to 25 feb 1 6ths of a nicotine patch

26 feb and onwards: o/

I do enjoy tobacco but there's a difference between doing because you want to and doing it out of habit. I conquered alcohol this way in that I can have a couple drinks and have no need to go further or drink again. It's usually months between drinks and even then it's only social drinking. I'm not going to turn down a double of good whiskey when offered. Third week has been the most jjonesing but I am done so I don't even entertain the thought. Hope you're still hanging in there!

Well done resisting.

Hope you're still hanging in there!

I hope you're stronger than I third week was too much. I was hoping to make it home but I found out I'm working another week out of town and I caved. Start the clock over for me. Dammit man, I should have never gone in the gas station.

Throw that shit in the garbage bin. No not the garbage bin in your home, you might just pick it up. Throw it somewhere where you won't or can't pick it up.

You can do this man! You stopped cold turkey which is something that I will never succeed at (I'm on nicotine patches right now and lower the strength each week).

Start the clock over for me.

Strength is not to succeed. Strength is to never give up after failing.

I appreciate your encouragements.
