Now a bunch of thoughts are rushing in like How the hell am I going to socialize? Do I really need to quit FOREVER? Am I freak? Why aren't I normal?
I know this is the demon talking but it's making me panic a bit. Just looking for some wisdom, that's all. Thanks.
Yes, you are only at 2 weeks! Your emotions will be all over the place for a few months or so, but its nothing you cannot manage. Try and not invest too much in your thoughts or feelings, because most of them will be based on withdrawal and addiction.
