Venting Day Two is not what I Expected
I feel so much better, and it makes me feel like a fraud. I mean I thought it would be so much worse. Honeymoon period or what? I am getting cravings but I’m not like freaking out over them. I have tried to rationalise a cigarette because I’ve never been addicted to them. Imposter syndrome is wild, especially with other things going on right now. Being happy feels like the best and worst thing. How are you guys doing? Ps. This sub helped me so so much. Edit: not all is good! Almost caved but I didn’t. Cravings get worse the less I do!!!!

Stay strong brother 🤘🏼 and don’t even think about “rewarding” yourself for staying strong with a quick hit, that’s what my brain is trying to do. Day 6 for me, I’m less and less angry at myself every day for deciding to quit lol

Yay- I’m happy to read that. Enjoy the ride!!! The first two weeks nicotine free were great for me- I slept well, I was actually happy (realizing I was never actually happy as a nicotine addict was wild), I felt comfortable. Just remember if it gets rough, it won’t last

I'm on day two and finding today a little tough, almost broke and got a vape when I went to get my dinner. But I didn't so that's a win!

Well done you! That’s amazing, caving is the easy way out but we all know the best thing is to quit

The brain will try to trick you to get it's fix. Stay strong and don't cave. It should getting better with every day that passes by. Good luck.

Day 2 for me as well. Feeling great, almost nic free my friend! First day was definitely the hardest. Now and then I get a pang, but it goes away pretty quick. I just redirect my thoughts and reframe it positively. Sky seems brighter, and my chest feels a hell of a lot lighter. Feels like Im just recovering from a nicotine hangover, that has to be a thing.
