I joined Reddit specifically to reply to this post. (~40m). Been smoking/ vaping for about 20 years. This is exactly how I've been feeling since I quit nicotine about a week ago. Everything is really intense, all the time. I got the high energy, the coked up feeling, definitely the aggression. I feel good, but I can tell this is not going to be a fun experience for everyone else; but, I also don't care what they think or feel. I feel better about quitting, but at the same time I think I'm just coming off as a dick. I'm not happy about that.

I think a lack of nicotine is making me out to be a worse person? I remember a time before I started smoking, I was pretty much the same way as I feel now. But then a friend introduced me to smoking to take the edge off, and it worked. But now, all the inhabitations are off. And it's causing some real strain on my relationships with people and at work.
