I can’t say that I have had an equal experience because the longest I used was a year. I was an everyday all day smoker, and some days were party days some were work and just using it as a maintenance/ energy enhancer. But when I used/used it was during all my waking hours so I know your mode de employ.
I have always been into exercise, and as a matter of fact I work in the field, and did then. (Kind of ass backwards seeing as I am a smoker not another ROA. And being in exercise I certainly can feel the difference in my lung capacity, But it is what it is.)
Two times for periods of as I said 1 year and once maybe 10 months I used this way. Everyday all day except obviously when sleeping or if it was impossible for me to slip away. I’d work high, workout high, etc.
Both times I quit cold turkey, honesty I had none of the negative effects, possibly because it was only (only?) a year, possibly because I work out/worked out sometimes 2 times a day. Every day.
I think that my constant re-upping of endorphins maybe offset the lack of dopamine? Who knows. I was younger then by maybe 8 years.
I do recommend you do seek assistance you’ve been living on he stuff much much longer than I ever did. And though I had no choice but to cold turkey, because I don’t have the will power to ween down, easing up before the final quit might be an easier route for you, and make the withdrawal easier?
I suppose it would be wrong for me to not add the basic personal trainer disclaimers about exercising for smokers .
In general smokers (cigarettes) have higher risk for heart attack during exercise, and I bet meth smokers can be sure they have at least that same risk if not far more. So don’t go so hard you’re running out of breath looking for the endorphins rush. Build up your ability to go harder with time. Start your workout slowly, maybe 3-4 minutes easy, then go a little harder and cool it down the same way.
Over time you’ll be able to do more/go longer without huffing and puffing. The endorphins can kick in at moderate levels of exercise though not the runners high they speak of, it does release into you giving you a feeling of well being. (Endorphins are only one molecule away from morphine)
I think that’s how I got through my quitting without the depression side effects.
Best of luck, and maybe have a doctor assess your cardio strength before you go to a boot camp class!!
