Ok folks - 18 days and counting. Made it through the first three days. Made it through HELL week. Made it through week two and I am staring down week THREE... and I am grouchy, irritated, hungry, annoyed, bored and generally a total mess!
Small irritations like messes in the house send me into a flying rage! I can't sit still for 5 minutes! I eat every bag of chips that crosses my path! I am so bored I could cry! I am wondering what is wrong with me! I feel alternately exhausted and that I could run a marathon!
I thought that some of these things would subside by now. I am reading other blogs and websites and thankfully there are people out there that are saying that it is still hard a few weeks in..
When does it get easier? The actual cravings for a cig/vape have subsided dramatically - I only even think about it 3 - 4 times a day now, which is great. However, it is replaced with an insane restlessness that I can't quite itch.
When will this insane irritation finally go away??
Your body (and mind) are adjusting to life without the drugs......and each person is different in the time it takes for these adjustments to take place.
I can't tell you WHEN - but I can tell you that it will all even out eventually. AND - the freedom gained will be worth every minute of discomfort you are now experiencing - I promise!
