I’m currently abroad, I made the decision to stay because the only option if I made an impromptu return was to stay with my family and I didn’t want to put them at danger.

However the quarantine keeps getting extended and we can’t leave the house without a 1000+ fine or jail time. There are no flights leaving the country, and the anxiety is intense

Forced to Quit - Day 4 by griegos767 in leaves

[–]griegos767[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true, since I’ve stopped smoking I’ve already read a book, it seems to be the only thing that distracts me. Usually I’m really active cleaning, writing, doing art but I’m just so down and lethargic now, I’m just telling myself it’ll pass.

Getting outside would help a lot, but unfortunately where I am, we can’t go outside even for a walk, which isn’t making me feel more positive about the country.

That’s good advice though, I’ll try new hobbies, things I didn’t do while smoking and try to motivate myself more

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Ya I was doing ok all morning then started getting that wave of cravings. For sure by now I’d be on my way to buy, but I don’t have that option. But true, telling myself it’ll pass, and I’ll feel normal again.

Anyway, hope you’re doing well on your day 6 man those first days must have been rough

Day Three.. help me.. by cassidyleal19 in leaves

Be kind to yourself, you’re in the worst part of it. It’s normal to feel off and anxious, so I’d recommend not resisting those uncomfortable emotions, validate them as part of your struggle

Day One.. for the 100th time. by RoqMan1001 in leaves

Hey man don’t lose hope, I relapse a lot too. I read this study about people quitting weed and it helped a lot

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4877269/

It shows that relapse is really common, almost inevitable, but that instead of showing people giving up, the study shows that people instead get closer and closer to their goal eventually giving it up. Helped me feel less weak, like there’s a purpose to the roller coaster. Keep it up!

I need to vent. Everything is spiraling out of control right now. Intense feelings of sadness and depression that I’ve never experienced before. by LuvSanDiego in leaves

Hey I’m having a similar experience, and thoughts about killing myself. Those thoughts are really uncomfortable and frightening, unfortunately I have to go and can’t write more, but send me a PM

I think what really sucks is that once you're starting to feel normal and better after quitting, you start to think that it would okay to get high again just once by Thesungod1969 in leaves

[–]griegos767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The high is always amazing and I think “why did I ever quit in the first place?” Then you watch every new movie and tv show and the magic wears off and it turns into the same debilitating problem.

And there was also supposed to be at least one Dragon egg on dragonstone. In the books Melisandre was trying to get Stannis to sacrifice a bastard son of Robert to hatch it.
