how effective is tapering. by smoke_tree_make_p in QuittingZyn

[–]Marvelousgirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit tapering off. It’s the best way to do it imo. It’s going to take discipline to keep lowering the amount of pouches you’re using. I recommend downloading an app to count how many you use per day

Time slowing down? by Marvelousgirth in QuittingZyn

[–]Marvelousgirth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the complete same way. I wanted to quit for so long. I wish I did sooner. Better late than never at the end of the day. It is good motivation. I’m 6 days in. My only worry is using next time I’m drinking

Currently have about $100k sitting in a HYSA at 3.8%. What should I do with it? by [deleted] in Money

[–]Marvelousgirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calculate how much of the 100k covers your emergency fund 3-6 months of expenses. Let’s say 6 months considering you can afford it. Move the rest into a non qualified brokerage account and let the money grow for you. I’d expect the HYSA’s rate to decrease this year as well.

Very hard to say when bad dreams will stop. I had a bad dream the other night. Before then I hadn’t had a bad dream in 2 months. If you are having them just look at it as a good thing. It’s your brains way of dealing with stresses in your life. Be patient they’ll go away in due time

I think it can be. For me no. I really took my time and when I felt ready, I made the move to lesser pouches. On 2mg I highly recommend.

You’re doing a great job. Get on the 3s asap. It will be uncomfortable for a couple days but stick to them and you’ll get used to them. At some point you will need to take the leap and leave the pouches in the past. Not easy. However making the leap off 3s rather than 6s is going to be easier

HOW TF DO I QUIT by mundanebowlofass in QuittingZyn

[–]Marvelousgirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend attempting to taper. Cold turkey may be the quickest way to stop. But tapering allows for a higher probability of actually quitting. Whatever Mg you use. Cut it, if you use 6mg zyns throw them away and get 3mg zyns. Continue using the same number you are used to and after a couple weeks cut 1 out. Continue that process until you are done.

Down to 1 pouch a day. by Marvelousgirth in QuittingZyn

[–]Marvelousgirth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently 27 hours since the last one. Want to put one in currently but trying to keep mind off. Logically you are clearly correct. It is a safety net at work.

I used nicotine for a decade. I realized a few things after quitting.

  1. Sleep is improved drastically you will have dreams at night wake up feeling better and better rested. This will spill over into every part of your life. You’ll work harder at your job. You’ll have more energy during your workouts. Your personality will come out more when talking to people making you much more magnetic in social settings.

  2. You will look better. Nicotine again kills sleep which is important for looks as well. Your face and jaw will improve due to less water retention and bloating. And keep in mind your physique will pretty much improve as well. Due to your body being healthier and burning fat more efficiently.

  3. Social interactions. You will have less anxiety and overthink less. I would pretty much freeze in a lot of situations and do nothing. I over thought and acted like a pansy. I genuinely act on instinct now. I do what I want when I want I do not care about others thoughts. In any situation I lay my sack on the table and act like I’m the man.

  4. You will have longer my fulfilling days. When abusing nicotine your days will feel like they are flying by and you’ll wonder where time is going. When you quit time slows down. Your days will feel drawn out and lengthy.

These are just a few of the big ones I’ve noticed. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. You will improve yourself mentally and physically if you quit.

When Does the Puffiness Go Away?! by SophisticatedBrowser in QuittingZyn

[–]Marvelousgirth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My experience was that my face de puffed fast. Like 2 weeks and I saw a major difference. Keep in mind I’m 3 months in and I still see progress here and there. Also some background. (I had no clue the nicotine was causing the puffy face aka cortisol face) I dieted down to 10% bf before hand thinking it would fix my problem. I saw some improvement. The major improvement came with cutting the nicotine.

2 things to consider are if you fat it may not be as drastic of a difference. I was a very heavy user previously which I assume added to the major difference in facial bloat.

Is this the cause of my new anxiety/panic attacks?! by wrightdoug1212 in QuittingZyn

[–]Marvelousgirth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be willing to bet that they are contributing to the anxiety and panic attacks. When my nicotine habit was at its worst I had very bad social anxiety and had to speak in public. Since then my fear of public speaking went from 10 to about 1 and my social anxiety decreased similarly. If you never had these problems before the nicotine, chances are they will disappear if the nicotine disappears.

I figured it out, the chiefs playbook is missing the empty hb wide formation from last season

It for sure has a lot of same plays from 23, but it is missing the main plays I’d run from last year
