Hi everyone, my name is Logan. I smoked cigarettes, vaped, and smoked occasional weed consistently for a little over 2 years.
There were two month-long bouts where I successfully quit, but this last, and final time, has been the absolute worst.
On top of quitting nicotine, I quit everything. Period. No caffiene, no alcohol, no nicotine.
For the first time since I was maybe 14, I have no anxiety, no adhd, no racing thoughts. I sleep better. I feel naturally tired, my heart doesn’t race for no reason.
With the humidity here in Florida, it’s been nearly a month, and I have a bad cough. I’m assuming my lungs are quickly cleaning themselves out, even though I haven’t coughed up anything physical. My voice has also deepened dramatically. It was already deep, but it’s even lower now.
I’ve had some BAD panic attacks and struggles, even after a month of not having anything. After eating a heavy meal, or meat, i feel like I’m going to black out. My vision goes a little dark, I feel lightheaded and lose my balance. I’m assuming my body is just learning how to control my blood pressure all over again, but it’s been really difficult. The insomnia is bad too.
I really hope smoking didn’t give me any other serious problems, and that this is all just part of returning to my normal, healthy self. Feeling a tightness in my chest, or feeling like I might black out, is scary, because I never have before.
I’m 6 2, 160lbs, I’ve had poor circulation since I was a kid. Could use all the support I can get!
