Quitting Cigarettes Encouragement
If you are quitting cigarettes or thinking about quitting, I think you are awesome!
Taking your time, believing in your self, finding resources, and things like that, may be helpful to you!
I hope it goes well!
Side note:
I know some resources like nicotine replacements say to talk to your doctor first if you're pregnant or think you may be. To those people, I would say don't let that detour you, talk to a doctor or specialist and get the answers! Don't let the doctors or nurses detour you either! You deserve information! There are many quitting options. ...I would have liked that encouragement when I quit.

Congratulations on your own quit.
I think it is a great point to be aware of getting inadvertently detoured by systems and other people. Resilience and the ability to keep pushing through when something gets in the way, is a great skill to cultivate.

Thanks.
I’m wanting to quit Zyn. I’m an idiot and tried zyn at 37. It felt awesome for about 2 months, but then it stopped all the euphoric effects. I learned I’ve never actually been addicted to anything. When I don’t have the nicotine, it feels like my body is vibrating. Now the only effect I get from the zyn is staving off the withdrawal symptoms. Any tips to get through the withdrawals? I’m going on about 9 months of being addicted to these things and I want to get rid of them asap. Thanks for any pointers or advice you got.

Way to admit you have or had an addiction. I don't know what to write on pointers. Everyone is different. There are a lot of resources out there. I hope you find something that works for you!
*Please note. I wrote this a while ago, and thanks for all and any support. ...Also, don't let me detour you from your best path. It's not everyone's time to quit all the time. But I believe in any choice you make, and think you are very incredible! You CAN do it if you want! : )
It's the original poster, again. Just wanted to note a few more things.
I don't dislike the cigarette companies. Knowing that I think is a big part of my healing.
I don't judge smokers. It just wasn't for me to be smoking.
And, I don't judge cold turkey quitters. It's a great technique, but it wasn't for me. I think I spent months just trying to decide on a "cutting back" plan I felt good about.
Again, to any one thinking about quitting cigs out there, wow, good for you.

Also please note: I'm NOT trying to say to not listen to doctors. I'm just trying to say that different doctors may have different opinions. Also, sometimes there are options other than doctors.
And, I didn't mean to comment on pregnancy and quitting. I am not a good resource for that.
Believe in yourself! And feel welcome to message me for encouragement! I don't know much, and I'm not online all the time, but I can try to listen or get back to you
