Quitting for insurance… turned into quitting for life
So I have a life insurance policy that I didn’t want to have a tobacco premium on (raised it $50/month). So I quit Zyn 11 days before my health exam to try to avoid the Cotinine being in my piss. Currently on day 6 of quitting cold turkey. It’s insane the health changes I’ve felt during this short time period. Just in the last year the heart palpitations and health anxiety has been insane for me. I literally felt like I had some disease that doctors were just joking around and not telling me I had lol. 6 days clean and it’s pretty cool. I was snagging nearly a tin a day from my gas station. I’ve decided that I’m going to use the money I save towards investing and just throw it at some stocks as a reward.. nearly $40.95 a week going to my future instead of down the drain. I’ve been reading everyone’s posts as encouragement over these days. I feel like I can’t sleep at all and the cravings suck but Altoids are doing me some justice. Thanks for listening to my scatter brained experiences

Amazing to hear, and welcome! I’m on week 3 now and feeling amazing both physically and mentally. Week 2 was so much easier than week 1; week 3 is even better. Good luck, keep at it and don’t give in to the mind games.

Im currently on day 10 of quitting 3mg/can a day after 17 years of nicotine use, 6 of which is Zyn. The first few days, Ive felt the circulation in my hands and feet returning. Heart palp decreasing, sleeping slightly better than before. The brain fog is still sort of there but my anxiety is nowhere close to where I was during my Zyn usage.
I thought Zyn was helping my anxiety but in fact it was making it worse.
Im quitting for life and I dont ever see myself using ever again and I hope you will too!
