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 it makes you feel any better, Saturday was supposed to be my last day but in my first 24 hours I dug my nearly empty vape cartridge out of the trash for one more hit, which also really cemented that I needed to quit

      I did exactly that with a half pack of cigs when I tried to quit, and felt very similar. I don’t know how healthy it is to utilize my own self loathing to help me quit, but it didn’t hurt in that moment for sure
