So, initially I didn't want to post it here because I am too ashamed of it, and people that follow me here know me in real life and don't know this one thing about me. I am currently trying to stop using nicotine.
When I lived in Sweden, I used to use Snus, but 7 years ago, shortly after moving back to Germany, I managed to stop using nicotine products. However, about 2.5 years ago, on one evening of 37c3, I had a very strong urge for nicotine and bought a vape (after 4.5 years of no nicotine). And with that I was back using nicotine. Initially I wanted to stop again right away, but I wasn't able to. Quickly, the addiction was once again stronger than me. Within the past 2.5 years, I switched between vapes and tobacco-free nicotine pouches, leading to using both for the past couple of months. I hid consuming nicotine products from the people around me as well as possible, and I tried to stop several times but failed again and again. But I really need to stop.
