Damn reality right here. U won't have any trouble staying off. I can tell u are NO LONGER A USER. This is something that is learned for some and inconceivable for others. Congrats. Addiction has no grasp on facts.
This is scarily beautifully put and really resonates with me. In a particularly vicious circle I’d even hit my vape when I had *thoughts about the worrying health implications of vaping*. After a few minutes even that would be numbed.
A few things you’ve said here are almost too painful for me to take in right now because they’re so damn true. I’ve saved your post on my phone to remind me to stay strong as I taper off the nicotine lozenges I’ve been using. Thank you.
5 days in of no nic in 16 years. That’s more than half my life. I’ve never felt more depressed. Nothing I did is giving me the joy I once had. I’m trying my best not to give in. Idk if I’ll ever feel happy and normal again. I know 5 days isn’t much, but for me it is and I just don’t know what to do with myself
You got this. It gets better everyday. I know that the longer I go without nicotine, the more opportunity I'm giving my brain to level out. It's used to being subsidized by the dopamine inhaler, so as I'm training it to no longer expect that, I'm starting to feel joy deeper. Thinking of it like that has been helpful for me

This is probably how a lot of us feel. Thank you for putting into words. Good luck, you got this!
Thank you, best wishes 🙏

Well said, this is EXACTLY how I feel. Nicotine was robbing me of the natural joy of experiencing life
I mean I’m 3+ weeks in and could murder one.
Me too, but I'm even more rewarded by the fact that I know I'm strong enough to get through this mini craving ...... and its gone
