My quit day was June 10th, I had to confirm this by going back on text messages. I was driving home from a job 2hrs away from Denver(where I live) I had been so sick of the can I would buy them chew for about two mins and throw them out, on this day I had enough and threw the can out.
First week wasn’t that bad, I mean I was short fused and irritable but didn’t really go through to much. I had some niccorette lozenges so when edge came on I popped it, shortly I realized I was getting a raw mouth and gums and I attributed it to the lozenges, so I ditched them and within a week I was into it... panic attacks, depression, withdrawal etc.. I truly thought I was toast. I had crazy thoughts, could not sleep, was afraid to go to sleep...
Fast forward to a few days ago and I found this site. I truly had the biggest sigh of relief to realize many have gone through what I have. I needed to see this place. On day 20 I have what I am assuming(And hoping) is throat gunk, I am a little better but at the same time I’m not. This 20 days has been a helluva ride. Which not many understand, including some friends that just quit and claim they didn’t have many issues
Thanks for this place, it’s been a crazy time and without the stories I’d be a mess
