It is so hard. It is part of my evening routine and I've relied on it to regulate and brush off the stress of the day. But after years of use, I don't feel like I am taking care of my lungs, I binge eat, and I feel a general sense of cloudiness which is tough as I am writing my grad school thesis. I hate how my days are starting to feel like a cycle of offee, vyvanse, smoke, melatonin. I struggle because it feels like if I quit, I am missing out on something/life isn't as fun if I'm not smoking. What is most frustrating is it is so easy to not do in a different context! For example, whenever I travel, I don't think about it all. But as soon as I am back into the context of my home life, smoking feels tempting and necessary. I would love some support and stories that will resonate. Perhaps even some accountability and someone to connect with to share progress and celebrate goals.
