Hi all! Hope as well. Next month will be a year since I quit smoking.. although I feel better, most withdrawals have subsided ( at least I think) .. I still feel somewhat sad and different, not as detached as I used to, but the detachment comes and goes but not as strong.. will I ever feel like me again? Is anyone else dealing with something like this? Thank you guys.

Hi Tryingtobeok, firstly super well done for your 11 (almost 12) smoke free months.๐Ÿ‘ You're doing really well.

I believe what you're experiencing, detachment, is because you're recovering from the addiction to nicotine which,as you've probably learnt , is a highly addictive drug. Stay strong as this too shall pass. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿšญxxx
