Hi everyone,
I decided to give up smoking 75 days ago, it is the first time I went past the first 3 days. When I was hospitalized for T1 I managed to get some tobacco on day 3 in the hospital...
Feeling quite good after first week went past, up until a few weeks ago when I just got horribly depressed...
Usually I'm not a depressed guy, maybe sometimes a bit as probably most people. Pretty active with a lot to do all day and enjoying. Work is cool, doing stuff with the kids at home, travelling + quite a few hobbies... I feel my dopamine levels have plummeted and I'm used to keeping them high, nicotine induced of course...
Now I enjoy nothing anymore... Just do stuff mechanically. I feel I might be missing some auto destruction too
I go running 3 times a week around 25km. Physically I never felt better. T1 is going ok, I got used to it, feels normal to have it...
Sorry for being negative, I just needed an (half)anonymous grump and maybe get some support or advice...
This needs to stop, it seems that nicotine is holding it's claws tighter than I thought it would... Crazy how powerful the thing is. If this persists for a substantial amount of time I'll just smoke and concede defeat...
