Stopped using 3 drugs, feeling depressed?
i just stopped smoking cigarettes, stopped drinking coffee,, and i stopped drinking alchohol. I know that in the long term, avoiding nicotine, caffeine and alcohol will help me, but honestly, i feel so depressed, lonely and down right now.
when will the withdrawal symptoms go away?
and has anyone quit an addiction here? how long did it take?
i feel like i lost 3 friends

Hang in there, it is withdrawals. See your doctor for the depression.

Dh’s grandfather, dh’s father, my grandfather, father & uncle, all CUT cold turkey.
Try chewing on toothpick.
Get on YA if you’re depressed, go for long walks, do volunteer work, try to keep yourself occupied, get involved in a new toy or take classes on a new craft..

I’ll tell you now I’m very proud of you~the truth is it will get better & it takes time~I wish i could give
you a cut & try time of when all withdrawal symptoms will subside but it’s different for each person~maybe you could spend outside like an hour or 2 a day riding a bike for exercise will help~also the sunlight helps stir up the endorphins in our brains that makes us feel better~so this could really benefit you~also you may wanna try some St Johns art it’s an OTC all natural herb that is good for depression this may be what you need along with the exercising outside to take the ede off & make you feel much much better~good luck to you♦

Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end — time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can’t explain the world’s natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner’s prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: “Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.” I’m Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God’s will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
