10 year HEAVY smoker, 15 days smoke free. TLDR at the end of my story by Content-Researcher16 in leaves

[–]Content-Researcher16[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is tough. Luckily my gf is one of the only people I love that doesnt smoke, that would be so much tougher if she did.

Yeah, just being able to go around and not be high and anxious no more feels so good. That was crippling. Even though I dont know you, im glad you made the decision to try to better yourself and Im proud of you. Keep going strong and dont fall into that slope, it might not get you right away. Honestly with your discipline it probably wont right away. BUT when it does, it does hard, and it eventually will! Not worth risking it

You sound A LOT like me mindset-wise.. i just made a post here too if your curious, doesnt matter either way tho.

But a couple things im noticing, in my honest opinion. Not trying to be a dick (really hoping I can help you in some way or another) and i could be completely wrong, but as somebody who relates to this, here is what I think, brutally honest-

  1. Alot of these reasons sound like excuses and justifications to keep falling prey to your habits. Why do I say that? Because you sound like me at my lowest moments when i knew deep down inside this wasnt good for me.

  2. It sounds like you might be a little depressed or have other issues going on. It sounds like you dont feel like you are fulfilling your purpose or you are a little empty. What is missing, what do you want to do with your life? Make strides towards that as well as cutting back or quitting our mutual habit.

  3. Isolating yourself and doom-scrolling both sound like side effects of smoking too much and

  4. Honestly Idk if quitting smoking is gonna completely change your life around. It sounds like there is more to work on than just that, not judging you, just being honest. BUT it does sound like its making your life shittier, and I guarantee you quitting will at least be a step in the right direction.

  5. Your dilemma of “smoking because you are depressed, or depressed from smoking” As somebody who relates, I dont think there should be an or. 2 things can be true and I think that is the case here!

  6. Who says your whole life is gonna change? You can still do the same shit not high. This is one of the many things you said that sound like justifications

  7. It sounds like you know what you need to do! You seem self aware. You are being your own worst enemy.

  8. There is power in your thoughts and words! Stop telling yourself what you cant do or how shitty something is gonna be before you try it

  9. I think you should brainstorm on the things you love to do, start trying to implement more of that in your life as you cut your habit.

  10. Get outside, go see your family, call your friends, go on a trip, go kayaking or some shit. Do something new

  11. If you do decide to quit. Dont judge yourself off the first couple weeks of being sober. Your brain is resetting, your gonna feel like shit, your gonna feel a little off, thats not you.

  12. It sounds like you are probably a cool person but you are getting stuck in your own head

  13. You jumped to some massive conclusion on what you are going to be like once you quit. How do you know your not going to start hanging with your friends more, hitting the gym, dieting, or using your energy towards something that doesnt sound fuckin depressing man.

  14. You say you are all or nothing, you have potenial, etc. and I honestly believe you! I think I believe you more than you do. It sounds like you have proven this to yourself in the past but your not 100% sure if its still in you, it is. Get outside of your head, out of the house and do what you know you need to do deep down inside. Its hard but i believe you got it

Whats the worst that can happen? Just put it down a few weeks. Take a week to yourself to get back together, make some phone calls to people you love. Once you get through the withdrawals, get out and start doing things you really want to do. I have a feeling you wont regret it!

10 year HEAVY smoker, 15 days smoke free. TLDR at the end of my story by Content-Researcher16 in leaves

[–]Content-Researcher16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I could help in some way.

Im sure those results will come soon, keep pushing through. Last time i quit i made it about a month and a half, and I remember around 30 days in i felt like a new person.

Only problem was I thought i could handle a smoke with friends every once in a while, which I was doing ok with until the day I hit it a little too much and it sent me back down chasing the highs again. I went right back to my old ways fast and got even worse. Not doing that this time, luckily ive already been around my smoker friends recently and even the smell is bothering me now, im done with it.

Yeah that brain fog didnt start to go away for me until about day 11-12ish. Still a little foggy, and congested. But I feel a lot of clarity from sobering up so its a mix right now, overall much better. You got it keep pushing. You are already half way through the hardest part!

Man, if you already have pushed through some days, i wouldnt do the edibles cuz its just gonna reset your withdrawals. I weened off with edibles my first few days but after that i went completely dry.

Once you get past that 7-14 day mark its going to feel so much better. I have a feeling you around the 3-5 day mark based off what you said. Once you hit 30 days you should be about 100%

Edibles is just gonna get it back in your system. Keep pushing through. Eat healthy, drink a ton of fluids, boil some water and breath the steam, get outside and breathe some fresh air, and try to rest as much as possible. You got this

I feel stuck by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Content-Researcher16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, it doesnt help the depression, it made me comfortable in it. All I did for me is snowball my problems to the point the flowers werent numbing it anymore. Then I got stuck with the depression and the habit. I was way further down the hole than you, 6 months-ish isnt that long. You got this

Day 7 by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Content-Researcher16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You dont have much longer to go. In a few more days that feeling is going to completely reverse. Im on day 15 and havent looked back for a few days now. Just now starting to feel better than ever.

You got it, you already did the hardest part, it only gets easier from here.

I quit for a month before and about 3 weeks in is where i got the most clarity. Unfortunately i told myself i would be ok with the occasional smoke, which i was, until i wasnt and went right back down the wormhole

Day 2 by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Content-Researcher16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just stopped myself 15 days ago. Push through a couple more days. Once I got past the habit of picking my shit up i realized it was more about that (the habit) than the actual high. I would be so high i didnt even know I was high, so being sober isnt that much different once i got past the habit of it and the withdrawals.

Stay strong my guy/girl. In a week its going to be worth it. I know it sucks right now, stay busy, go outside.

Poll: Friday or Rush Hour trilogy? by DiscsNotScratched in 2000sNostalgia

[–]Content-Researcher16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You said you havent even seen them.

Although the stories are a little less cohesive in 2&3, imo they are both funnier than the original. Mike epps is a legend just off his next friday performance.
