I smoked for a year, then one day I smoked and it made me feel like shit. No nice dizzy buzz, just felt like garbage. Didn’t smoke the rest of the day. Tried again the next day, felt like shit. I just stopped after that. I feel so lucky, I didn’t get any other cravings or withdrawals. My brain just suddenly associated smoking with that terrible feeling.

I tried more times over the years (this was over a decade ago) and the same feeling each time. The only time it feels good anymore is if I’m absolutely SMASHED.

Coffee did the same thing to me. My body feels AWFUL if I drink much caffeine anymore. This one I am NOT thankful for. I love black coldbrew and I miss it so very much. I’ve tried some decaf but it just felt like drinking NA beer. I hope one day I can drink coffee again.
