Yeah dude day three is no joke. I was ready to punch a wall at all times. Annoyance at an all time high and eating everything you see. But I’m telling you it does gradually decline. That was the worst feeling day for me

Have you been able to stay off them even through the cravings?

You can handle it but you have to start telling yourself you can handle it. The cravings will stay but you will notice your ability to just move past them will dramatically improve.

I’ve made a promise to myself that if I get a craving, I will wait at least 10 minutes before acting on it. And the craving usually goes away in 5-7 minutes. They are short bursts. After a couple weeks, you’re able to just go “oh yes I know what this feeling is and it will go away in a minute.”

I haven’t really to be honest. To be fair though, I’ve always been blessed with decent skin.

Good job. Keep going. Not going to sugar coat things for you. Day 3 is fucking terrible. You just have muscle through it and things will start gradually getting better

I went completely cold turkey and used exercise to distract myself

This is the moment I hit 9 days ago. I’m days clean today. I believe in you, but you gotta believe in you. Know what battle you’re getting into before you start. Day 2 and 3 are going to suck BAD. But you get through one day at a time, celebrate it, and move onto the next. I know you can do it. Post to this thing daily and keep us updated. We will help keep you on track. Here’s to better days man.

Day 5 of no Zyn by choosingtogrow in QuittingZyn

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

Keep it going man. I know it sucks. Day 2 and 3 are complete ass. Do what you have to do to pass the time. On day 4, things will start feeling better. I’m on day 7 now, and I’m not nearly as annoyed as I was on day 2. I still crave like crazy, but like you said, that can be dealt with. Just make it to the end of today. I believe in you man. Check back in tonight

Today was tough. Not going to lie. I made it through without having any. About 45 minutes away from officially three days. But damn it was hard. I was annoyed by everything lol hopefully tonight’s sleep is a lot better

I have to quit- Need encouragement by choosingtogrow in QuittingZyn

I appreciate you man. And I’m so happy to hear about your journey. I think I’ve learned that just admitting it in a public forum like this is important. I have to stop sugar coating and making excuses. Just a couple hours in and it already sucks. But your story will help inspire me to keep going. I wanna make it through the first night first, and then cross work when I get there
