It is strange how detox feels so much like grief/broken heart. I remember that. Must be very similar things going on inside you.
Don't get complacent. There will be tricky times ahead, just when you think you're getting there, but you can do it, and then you'll never need to go through it again.
So - reality check:
- smoking is antisocial. Recent research indicates that for every 52 smokers, one non-smoker gets killed by second hand smoke
- smoking is antisocial. Cigarette smoke stinks.
- smoking is antisocial. If you spend any time in the company of a smoker, or even just walk past a group of smokers, your clothes and hair start stinking, and the stink persists even after that person is gone. This is unspeakably disgusting.
- smoking is antisocial. Smokers are completely unaware of their surroundings. Sometimes, when you stop at a traffic light, and the driver in front of you smokes with an open window, the stink goes into your car, even with the windows closed, and takes forever to disperse. Disgusting.
There are bizarre, funny side effects of the reality distortion. I remember (pre-covid) a group of smokers sitting around a table, smoking indoors with complete disregard of the non-smokers in the group, and ranting about the dangers of 5G.
BTW, did I mention that smoking is antisocial?

Last year I had a cigarette about two weeks after lockdown started. I didn’t have one for three months and was assured that without even trying, I would kick this filthy habit. One day though out of nowhere, this craving hit me like a ton of bricks. I was just sitting there watching TV and I needed a fag. I relented and fought against it. Then the next day it hit me again. I caved in, bought a pack of fags and had one in the blazing sunshine. I felt great but also felt ten times worse afterwards. I was so convinced I was off them but they clawed back from the depths.
I still smoke now but generally just once a day (before I go to bed), and a few more when I have a few drinks, but I’d love to drop them again altogether. Afraid it’ll get worse once socialising returns but I’ve done it once I can do it again.
Facing the unpleasant realities of the addiction is tough, and probably causes reactions of fear or anger, but - I'm hoping - facing them can be a motivator to overcome the addiction.
@skunkwerx l@@k into my eyes, not around the eyes, straight into my eyes and repeat I DO NOT SMOKE...... 1-2-3 you're back in the room!

No nicotine replacement for the past 2.
Getting there!
I always hear people say they feel better after quitting.. I feel legit no difference except I'm irritable as fuck all day lol. Maybe it takes a while to feel anything.
I do miss smoking sometimes, but I always felt a slave to it. Like my well being depended on having to spark up constantly. Letting that go was very liberating.
Great effort to get through a full week - well done, it will get easier.
