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.

    If you don’t have it in the house, get rid of whatever you use to smoke with, give them away if you need to. I also enjoy having dreams again and eventually came to the realization that I suck doing most things while I’m high, even relatively simple tasks like cooking are just not done as well, I die more to dumb shit in games etc.

      I did have my spouse hide all my stuff somewhere to remove that temptation, I had her do that a few years ago to help me quit drinking and it was pretty effective

      But yeah same thing here, I make stupid mistakes while doing things like cooking, I leave messes where I shouldn’t, stuff like that. The real big thing is that I feel like it’s started to make my brain kinda foggy even when I’m not high, which has made doing my job difficult.

      Dreaming again will be cool
