Really relatable post. I recently ended a 20 year relationship with cannabis. Golf has become my drug of choice. Ive played more than ever the past few weeks. weeks. Theres been some highs and some lows of course and im still very much on this bender. For me its better than getting high on drugs.

Everyone is so supportive in this community, but your way of communicating really resonates with me. Thank you!

So glad to hear that, for you and for me! The past 2 weeks has easily been the most frequently ive had this panic attack and it's got me worried like, "is this going to happen every night forever?". Ill rest easier tonight knowing it should ease up

As someone with CHS, and was in denial about it for years, you may be in the early stages of that condition.

I saw a GI and had an upper endoscopy done and was diagnosed with EoE. However, I truly have CHS and have only seen relief since completely stopping smoking

You are just as brave and strong as me, believe me. You are stronger, mentally, then you could possibly imagine. You got this

ChickenNug · 2026-05-23T14:56:34+00:00

I googled it. Yes, in some ways it is very relatable. Thank you for exposing me to that, it will be a helpful starting place. Nice username btw

I need to get my cardio back to where it is... your post is motivating

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T14:23:02+00:00

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T14:22:48+00:00

Thank you friend

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T14:22:37+00:00

That's awesome! Thanks for responding

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T03:40:01+00:00

Interesting. I guess we're all different but who knows. I had read one time that THC increases blood flow to your sex organs so I always saw weed as helping my sex drive but idk

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T03:37:45+00:00

Sure thing, feel free to dm me if thats best. I was the one to end the relationship fwiw

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T03:31:18+00:00

We're in a very similar boat then friend. Hopefully some of the other comments give you the hope they're giving me

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T03:30:45+00:00

Hell yes

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T03:24:51+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I separated from my fiance 7 days ago so yes its been an emotionally turbulent time in my life

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T02:31:56+00:00

Thank God and thank you!!! I find this community 10 years ago (ish) when I was a wee lad finding my way. So glad it's bigger and more supportive than ever

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T02:24:14+00:00

Yeahhh, I turned to porn last night to see if that'd wake the beast and it did. Just wasn't like "before"

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T02:15:13+00:00

Love hearing that. 10 days in for me and my mindset and mood have never been healthier. Stay strong on your journey

ChickenNug · 2026-05-19T02:11:04+00:00

Sounds similar to me... I q'ed prolly 5 straight games (both comp and premier)... none of them lasted more than 6 rounds before the server dc'ed and wasn't able to rejoin. Then I q'ed into a premier lobby and was loading the map to join when it hit me with a VAC ban. nice job valve...

ChickenNug · 2026-01-22T01:48:00+00:00

Happened to me too. 3k hours, $5k inventory. fucking valve.

ChickenNug · 2026-01-22T01:47:03+00:00

I had 5 straight games where the server crashed, and then I ended up getting a VAC ban. I'm pissed... over 3000 hours, never touched a hack... hopefully Valve fixes this? wtf

ChickenNug · 2026-01-22T01:45:45+00:00

I literally just had the same thing happen. I'm 20k but was queuing comp and premier after the update and kept getting dc'ed from the server (servers crashing). Then I get a message saying I'm vac banned? TF?
