Was a daily smoker almost uninterrupted for like 7-8 years (only ever 2-3 days off at most while travelling), had an epiphany last weekend and decided it wasn't helping make life any better (also, $$$) and simply stopped. On average I was probably smoking 1-2g per day.

It's been about 9 days and I only smoke in my newly more-vivid dreams (!) and also I've been outright weepy for major chunks of the day, which is unlike me. Is this normal? (I'm also turning 40 in a few weeks and have some feelings about that so it's kinda tough to tell what's motivating what.)

Anyway, was wondering if anyone else had quit and what it was like for them.

I'm realizing that I use alcohol to feel intense emotions. Probably also why I'm hypersexual. And why i value intense anger.

I just like feeling alive. I struggle to do this.
