Ditch the pouch and pretend it didn't happen.
Quitting cigs is ridiculously hard. Can't remember how many tries it took me. Finally kicked it, but the first relapse isn't the end.
I'll try to.
This is the second time I tried. First time I made it 9 months. Just 9 days this time. But I can do it. It's only going to be healthier for me and my household.
You'll do it. The will is there, all else will follow. I think I went like 2 years and then picked it up again due to boredom at work. Stopped a few months later, only to start again like 3 years later. That lasted almost a year and I just stopped completely.
That makes me feel a little better tbh. Ive been beating myself up, because how did I make it 9 months but not this time?
Thank you ๐ญ๐๐๐ผ
You made it as long as you could. It will happen until you just don't pick them up again. Shit's hard but not impossible.
