Feeling amazing. Every morning/day/night smoker since 2012, with no breaks other than a day here and there that I could count on one hand.
First week was a little rough but manageable. 3 or 4 days with virtually no appetite, could only fall asleep for a few hours at a time. Irritability to small things, but usually more of a burst that quickly faded. Anxiety is significantly lower, social interactions feel a lot easier, feeling more sharp and alert.
I struggled for so many years with the desire to quit, but it felt like an impossible mountain to climb. The biggest thing I think that helps is finding things to do with the time you otherwise would have spent high. Exercise, catching up on things you've said you are going to do, reading, going out, anything.
If you really want to quit, removing the tools is a big a part. I threw away my grinder, jar, smashed the bong, gave away my long time pipe to a friend - this makes it a lot harder to slip up when you can't. Having a day counter on my phone is also a big motivation, seeing the number go up makes easier to not want to cave.
If you just quit, are thinking about quitting, its worth it. The dread of quitting made it so hard for so long, but now realizing the dread is worse than actually doing it. There's a long way to go, but on day 10 this is feeling like a really good decision.
