Every day smoker basically since Covid. It’s gotten to a point where it’s fucking with my head too much, I have a lot of trouble focusing and thinking clearly or finding motivation to do much besides sit around and play video games.

Haven’t smoked since Sunday and I feel like ass. It feels like there’s a swarm of bees in my brain. My arms and legs feels tingly and twitchy. I’ve basically been having a panic attack the last 72 hours that my Xanax hardly helps.

Anyone have tips to feel less shitty during this? Or just encouragement even? I know it’ll fade over time but fuck this sucks so bad.

    You are doing amazing and it will get better eventually. I quit cold turkey myself three weeks ago and I would say the first week was the worst. Whatever you do, every single day you do not smoke is a success and makes a difference.

    What helps me is spending time with others. But they should not be smoking.
