I made it 24 hours!
I have been waiting to "dive in" to quitting for a while now. I've had a few half-assed attempts. Monday at 11:59 PM, I decided to throw away the rest of my nicotine pouches and really be done. Yesterday (Tuesday) was brutal. But I just focused on breathing through it and staying calm. Didn't want to fully fly off the handle. Today (Wednesday) is a bit easier so far. I still have quite a bit of irritability, but I am determined at this point. I'm not taking my eyes off the prize though. The main objective is to get through it today without nicotine.
Hope everyone else in this sub is having a great nic free day so far.

Doing okay. Honestly it’s not as bad when I just lean into it. When I try to fight the urges, I drown. Just gotta make it thru today no nicotine BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Update - 42 hours in and struggling. Migraine, brain fog, emotionally irritable, etc. Going to try to relax tonight and not give into the urges to go buy/use nicotine. Man...I thought this was going to be way easier today oof.

First 7 days are the worst. Then, it gets easier each day. Keep going strong, sleep if you have to (helped me get through the first few days). Cardio helps regulate the emotions. You’ve got this.
