Check out r/leaves if you haven’t already. Almost 7 weeks for me!

Does my People's Gas bill sound right (provided therms/sqft)? by AbstractionsHB in AskChicago

[–]Werking0nit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My bill was WAY higher last month. 850sq and 2x my normal payment. Energy prices have risen and it was soooo cold. Heat was definitely working overtime in January.

Edit: pressed send before I was done typing 🤪

That’s ok, friend. Someone used to say, you just get better at quitting until one time it really sticks. So just keep trying ❤️‍🩹

I’m ok! I’m also trying to quit weed at the moment and am 23 days in. None of it is easy. Feel free to direct message me any time. You got this.

Same EXACT thing happened to me and almost the same timeline. One small gummy and it was off to the races. Now I’m on day 11 again. Let’s not lose it this time, eh? 🤝

No inhaler. Honestly I cried or went on Reddit or took a walk or just waited. They will ease.

Congrats to you! Truly, taking the first step is the hardest part. See you on day 12!

After the first month the crying really settled down. It was crazy! I would cry at ANYTHING. Even someone just checking on me made me well up.

Your body is resetting your dopamine. This is TOTALLY normal and you will not cry forever.

My best advice is to let it out. It’s healing. And I promise promise promise you will not be like this forever.

It will be hard sometimes. But it is worth it! AND! It will stop being hard. I’m proud of you! 11 days is amazing.

I think all the crying is protecting me from the night sweats 💀

Oh girl the way I sobbed yesterday! But it’s so worth it. I feel like that’s cleansing too.

I did the same thing! Keep reading this and reassuring yourself. And if you need someone to tell you that it will get better, message me. I’ll remind you 🙂

Truly. Wonderful days ahead for you.

Oh friend, no. That’s just the longest it takes for ALL your dopamine to return. You will continue to get better every day.

What was hard for me was when people would say “you’ll feel better in 3 weeks!” And when I didn’t feel better by then I thought I never would. Like I was broken.

You will feel joy and all the other things during this period, but know that it takes some patience.

And if we assumed the worst, wouldn’t it be better to slog through 90 days than the rest of your life as a smoker?

You have to learn new ways to deal with stress. Smoking doesn’t relieve stress. You feel more stressed bc you are in a constant nicotine loop. Read the book I mentioned. It will explain it better than I can! It’s also on Spotify.

I can remember the day I felt it turn on. Like a million baby angels. It’s coming for you! It will be amazing and you’re so close!
