Day 10, my story

Started using during autumn 2023, (19, male) had tried vapes during the summer of that same year for the first time

the pouches had me hooked instantly, used for almost 3 years, I would say on average during the time i used, the daily dose of nicotine on my part was around 70mg a day, the worst usage i had was during june of this year, used like 10-14 11mg pouches daily, got so bad even my gums started to hurt a bit,

then at the end of june, had a 9-day holiday with my 2 friends in malaga, and for the first time in almost 3 years, I was able to go a day without nicotine, that got me wondering, could i get off these things truly?
Of course, malaga is such a different and more nicer environment than where originally live, so i knew that had a big part on it why it was noticeably easier to stay off them for longer periods of time,

got back home, could be off them for 4 whole days, went on to buy a can, used it all in 2 days, then had the withdrawals all over again (this part happened 3 times or so), the last can i bought was now 4 weeks ago, after that i allowed myself to use 1-2 pouches a day from my friends or whatever,

last week wednesday i decided i just used my last pouch, on day 10 of no pouches right now, first 3 days were a bit harder than now (and yes I do acknolwedge that quitting from 10-20mg a day is much easier than going cold turkey from 100mg/day doses, this is what worked the best for me)

Noticeable changes regarding everything:
More focus, happier, simple things feel much better (spending time with friends and family, food tastes much better), improved confidence knowing you’re not a slave to something like this anymore, you feel like you are more capable of doing things because of the confidence you gain from quitting, more vascular (i’m very lean myself and so noticing even more vascularity came as a a surprise to me. Its also so nice waking up in the morning and pouches NOT being the first thing on your mind

Overall, I just wanted to share my story and let you know its not impossible, I’m rooting for everyone trying to get off this addiction!
If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer.
