Ok then the question is, why did you buy sn if you knew you weren't gonna use it a few days after getting it, that it would take you a while to build up the courage, gather all the meds to do it, pick a date and time, follow the regimen and then use it and that's if you were gonna use it since si will get in the way.
Why was it not a concern back then when you bought sn weeks or months ago if you were so worried that it might make a difference the longer you wait. This is a manufactured chemical, it's durable when kept under the conditions that it's been instructed to be adhered to by whomever buys it, I don't understand why you're so scared that no matter how you keep it, something may go wrong when you've already got so much else to worry about in your personal life, nevermind that you plan to ctb at some point.

On my bag of sodium nitrite it says that the guaranteed time is 1 year, if the packaging is not torn. Unfortunately, I cannot publish photos with the date that is written on the packaging - in another topic, moderators deleted my photos because the SN manufacturer's name is on the packaging
That makes no sense because the shelf life of sn is 3 years, my sn expires in December 2025. If I buy more sn now then chances are, it'll expire in mid 2026.
Most of the successful SN cases have people taking their SN the same day or a few days after they've gotten it
Also, where did you gather the data and information to suggest that most successful sn ctb cases were people who bought their sn a few days prior, the fact you say "most" means that you've done a comparison and concluded that most people who ctb successfully with sn got their sn a few days prior and can identify a clear difference between those who only took their sn a few months up to a year and a half later. If this is the case then does this mean that the longer you wait to take your sn, the less likely it is to work?
