Well, here I am 2 months into quitting smoking. On a daily basis, I have to fight not to go buy a pack and I find myself constantly making excuses for why quitting was a bad idea (really dumb excuses).
I literally did not leave the house for the first month, I told everyone to steer clear of me and I pretty much stayed in bed the entire time. Staying in bed for the rest of my life is not an option, so I now drag my ass out of bed and try to move on with a normal day.
2 months in and I am STILL having cravings of some sort. Usually only once or twice a day, but they last for hours rather than minutes and they almost cripple me. Brain fog will be the death of me...I don't drink or do drugs mainly because I can't handle not having a clear head, but all I do is sit here staring off into space the majority of the time because I can't focus.
I'm ready to throw in the towel and I'm desperate to get suggestions from anyone who has had this same struggle. I just don't feel like it's worth it at this point. I went through all of the steps with the patch (faithfully) and now that I'm done with that, I have the gum to get me through the moments I start melting down, but I want to be done with it completely.
I presume this crap is all psychological, but it doesn't make it easier to deal with. I do not want to vape, suck on a carrot stick or do anything that replaces one stupid habit with a "better for me" equally stupid habit. If I have to suck on vegetables to get through my day, I'll simply go back to smoking. Any and all suggestions or stories are welcome though!
