Why is it even when I try to change for the better I feel nothing?

Thats how addiction works. Re-learning how to not instantly gratify yourself. Takes a lot of work, nicotine is a pretty addictive substance.

I don't even feel worse, its just the exact same as normal. Only now I have one less thing I enjoy. It feels the same as doing something like quiting watching movies.

Smoking a pack a day is not out of enjoyment. I smoke a pack a day and I do like smoking but its not enjoyable. It costs a shitload of money and fucks up your lungs, you cant taste or smell as well and you smell like shit.

Nicotine is a relatively easy withdrawal and its minor on scales to what it could be, but would you be able to smoke just one and put it back down?

Give it a little bit longer. What I've noticed is that I sleep a lot better, I breathe a lot easier, sex has gotten better, and when I go running, I don't feel like I've just been flagellated by Caesar's Legion.

You know I can smoke just one if the fucking stores would let me buy just a single one. Having a pack of smokes lying in the house is like having a pack of cookies sitting in front a fatass. Fuck the canadian government saying stores can't sell single smokes.

I had smoking at 6 a day for many years, that was the best. Your right that when its 20 smokes a day its less enjoyable. Once you break your limit though the number just increases every day.

I was just hoping I would feel some sort of satisfaction or something from quitting. Like I was getting a hold of life better.

>implying I have sex
>implying I go running
Something is wrong with me and I have no motivation to live a "fulfilling" life. I was hoping quitting smoking would help me in someway with my mentality or something.

Its been a long ass 23 years, and I've been smoking since I was 14. Yet I don't even feel a change from quitting

Its only been a month Im not up to specifics on nicotine but im sure theres a post withdrawal period, you wont feel any different just shittier than normal, addiction isnt just physical. It tends to blow for a period of time its not instant.

I wouldn't know anything about withdrawal, but I had to quit for 3 weeks because I was in a foreign country with limited finances and couldn't buy a pack to save my life.
Shit sucked, I felt like killing pedestrians that looked at me weirdly

>>38833588
I smoke no more than twice a day, as it's not very expensive, it's not as detrimental to my health, and I can still enjoy it.

>>38834315
Yeah, thats how you should do it. Thats when you can enjoy it. Moderation wins again, but im stuck with a shitty all or nothing mentality.
