I quit for 2 months, many more to go, and while I don’t have any cravings, I’m getting pissed at nothing, getting depressed, distro hopping, all in a day.

Woke up today extremely pissed off out of nowhere.

    Sure did, but actually in a good way. Smoked for 20 years, been smoke free for 10. I found quitting smoking was best thing to happen to me. Only thing I found after I stop was I began to eat more.

    I just quit vaping last fall or so. I had cravings for a week, that gradually became less pronounced. I don’t even think about it now. Quitting kratom was tougher.

      I managed to do some harm reduction before quitting (gradually turning down nicotine concentration, that kind of stuff), it helped a lot, so I only got cravings for a week or two too.

      Now there are some of these side effects.

    It wasn’t great. But the mild mood swings for a short period were better than the alternative of lung cancer and CHD.

    I don’t remember mood swings. I was a pretty heavy smoker for about 6 years, smoking was one of the ways that I self medicated. Like the vast majority of self medicating I did it all the wrong ways.

    I changed my life in a lot of ways at that time. I lost a lot of weight, I quit smoking, I built a routine of working out regularly, I quit smoking pot, I got my shit together in school.

    There were so many things I was doing better for myself that if I had any mood swings because of the lack of nicotine, that would have been masked by/compensated for by other things.
