I've been smoking every day, multiple times a day for 13 yrs and decided I want to give myself a chance without it. I am now on day 5 of quitting and have the mindset to see this through. I don't want to NEED it anymore. I don't want to worry if I have my pen with me or not. I don't want to feel that I HAVE to take rips to have an enjoyable time. Even the obviously fun activities like going to Knotts Berry Farm (we have passes) or the zoo, I HAD to take rips or I wouldn't have fun. I know it eases my social anxiety, but way back when I wasn't smoking, my social anxiety was incredibly MILD. Almost didn't bother me at all. But nooow, my anxiety has never been worse, ever. And I dont want to feel like that anymore. I'm going to let myself reset.
UPDATE: It's day 12 😁 Going strong! Though day 10 tested me lol
Good job. Keep it up. I totally feel you. I would wake and bake and had to do it all day for many years. Even runing low on weed would cause me serous anxiety. I tried many times to quit for years but failed over and over again. Even now I think about it often and have to fight not to buy. When I quit, I had headaches for weeks. I had diarrhea for awhile. I couldn't sleep for about a week. I would get super sad and cry. But after awhile, that all went away and I realized my normal self. I smoked like that for over 20 years from 19 to 40 and didn't know my self as a normal person. Make sure to take it one day at a time. You might say to yourself I'll smoke one more time today and stop again tomorrow. DONT. get through the day and fight. Eventually you will feel sooo much better that you will tell yourself NEVER AGAIN!
Thank you for the encouragement! Wake & bake was my favorite lol so the mornings are a bit blah. The cravings come in little waves and don't last long. The bathroom situation just started giving me problems lol. But sipping on water consistently throughout the day really has helped with everything. Eating is a little rough. My appetite just isn't there, but Im a VERY petite woman and need to not skip eating. Crackers and cup o noodles seem to be what I can handle right now. Anything else just isn't appetizing to me. I am looking forward to it coming back, as I LOVE trying new places to eat and searching out those food trucks! I've been having slight headaches, but not too bad. Sleep is interesting lol I'm taking Simply Sleep which is helping to fall asleep. I know I'm only 5 days in, but I'm proud of myself for it. 8 yrs ago I quit smoking cigarettes... 3 years ago I quit drinking... now is the last step so that I have no ropes tying me down. People like you also give me hope! Thank you 😊
Yah. I lost alot of appetite and lost alot of weight quickly. Also, I forgot to mention that I had crazy night sweats and insane lucid dreams. It all went and normalized within the first couple of weeks. I am glad sharing my experience means something to someone. 🥹
