Need to vent
I’m two months into my second serious attempt to quit smoking. went cold turkey this time. I’m growing a little concerned with my progress or lack there of. I went through a fairly depressive phase a couple weeks ago. now I’m in more of an anxious headspace. I can’t seem to let go. I’m constantly thinking of relapse. and I mean constantly. no matter what I’m doing the mind reverberates back to it. I’ve almost reached a state of panic as I get so bent out of shape about it. I have found ways to mitigate these issues and calm down but I’m still trying not to want tobacco which leads me to hyper-fixating on it. full disclosure I was a heavy weed smoker and beer drinker for the past 25 years as well. have given up both while on this journey. found those two surprisingly easy to move on without but the tobacco still haunts me. I’m a little overwhelmed. they say it gets easier but this feels like it’s getting harder. has anyone else been through a similar experience? need a little encouragement from you fine folks. any insight much appreciated.
