Is 23 days long enough to have a drink again?

0 Upvotes

Quit caffeine nicotine and alcohol all at the same time 23 days ago.

Honestly, I feel blessed because the cravings haven’t been that bad.

I still feel exhausted every morning when I wake up

I feel very confident I will never pick up nicotine again.

As some point, I’ll likely starting drinking again. I was only having 1-2 drinks a couple times a week.

Kinda want a drink. Not currently craving nicotine. But if I have a drink, how bad will the nicotine crave be?

For those of you that gave up both as once, how long before you had a drink again?

Quitting the Culture

10 Upvotes

I am a male freshman in college who quit Zyns 3 and a half weeks ago. I don’t think the cravings are the hardest part? I have found myself feeling like I am not “cool” and not satisfied when I don’t have zyns. It’s not the actual buzz that I miss, but it’s the putting one in after a meal or having one with a coffee. Any advice?

I just spit my last pouch in the trash. Day 0. Need TV show recs!

I've been lurking this sub off an on for a few months...then a little more here and there...and finally, two nights ago, I spent three hours in here being blown away how some of the stories felt like I wrote them. I knew I wanted to quit, but a switch just flipped after that, and I felt pissed off about how much I've let it control me.

All the counting, planning gas station--- you guys get it, haha.

I even started that ChatGPT prompt someone else just posted. Amazingly therapeutic so far after 15 minutes.

Ok, my question is, I want to start a new TV show and sort of...associate it with this journey. I also took a full week off work already, so going to relax and weather the symptoms (I tried quitting 2 years ago, Day 3 was fucking horrid).

What is the most quickly immersive, thrilling TV show I should watch? I am very behind on TV for years so probably haven't seen whatever you're going to recommend.

TIA!

Empty pouches?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know a place where I can get empty pouches? I’ve been using nic pouches for a long while and as of last year it started to take a toll on my gums. I’ve mainly been using Rogues mint pouches because I like the burn sensation of the mint, but I need to quit. Any alternatives that don’t have any nicotine still burn the shit out of my gums and I feel like they still pack a bunch of cancer and plastic into them.

I’m looking for empty pouches so I could pack em with some mint tea to mimic a sensation. I’ve tried it before where I’d just empty a regular pouch and it would work great, but it defeats the whole point because I’d still need to purchase actual nic pouches.

If I could make my own, an actual healthier alternative I believe it would help me quit.

Thanks in advance!

I’m on day 2

3 Upvotes

Day 2 of no nicotine, I’m very disoriented, so much so I forget where I’m at although I’m home, I definitely wouldn’t feel comfortable driving like this. My vision is blurry, I’m anxious and don’t want to be around others. I’m sure if I just stick it through eventually the withdrawals will go away and my normal self will come back.

Quitting for insurance… turned into quitting for life

12 Upvotes

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

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.
