Welcome @Ditokous. Glad you found us! Indeed, nicotine withdrawal is the pits, especially for those of us who were heavy users. We’ve been there… the cravings, the jitters, the brainfog, the sorrow, and the anger that we let ourselves get so hooked in the first place. Bah.
But the worst is behind you now, and you’re building a great foundation for a lifetime of freedom. Good work.
Keep the quit!

Hey @mammakim. Glad you are here and reached out!
Thirteen days of coping with the worst of your chemical withdrawal is a great achievement! Now the longer road of recovery begins, where the quit entails reckoning with other kinds of withdrawal… mental, ritual, social, etc. Smoking was baked into the daily rhythm of our lives for a long time, so it’s natural to struggle for a while.
The good news is that you have already proven you can make it through any cravings! You’ve built some solid quit muscles already. I agree with @GonSo that staying busy at this stage is helpful. I also found it useful to change up routines, to try and break old associations I had of times and places I would smoke.
You can do this! Hang in there!

Best decision ever! (To quit… not to ditch the crocs. I have a pair, myself… drives my sweetie bonkers, LOL.)
