Every day smoker basically since Covid. It’s gotten to a point where it’s fucking with my head too much, I have a lot of trouble focusing and thinking clearly or finding motivation to do much besides sit around and play video games.
Haven’t smoked since Sunday and I feel like ass. It feels like there’s a swarm of bees in my brain. My arms and legs feels tingly and twitchy. I’ve basically been having a panic attack the last 72 hours that my Xanax hardly helps.
Anyone have tips to feel less shitty during this? Or just encouragement even? I know it’ll fade over time but fuck this sucks so bad.
I’ve heard that after day 7 it gets much easier, most of the chemicals and by-products are gone by then. But that most people also smoke again at day 7
regardless, you are already doing good. You identified the issue and decided to tackle it instead of avoiding it, and you’ve already made it half way through the worst of it
Now, we must remember that material conditions matter. E.g., my need to smoke is gone since I started treating my adhd properly. Idk what you’ve got going, but there may be something outside the chemical/psicological dependence that may hinder you
