Im so tired of living life

Of course being sober sucks ass when you're used to being high all the time and avoiding your feelings that way. There is no magical bullet, if you quit you will feel like shit for some time.

The best thing you can do is start going to bed at the same time and getting enough sleep, reduce your smoking to once or twice a week at the end of the day and start eating healthy and going to the gym. You will feel like shit for a while, there is no way to avoid that.

I'm sure deep down you know why you feel like crap, you probably have disappointed yourself too often and withdrawn. I'm sadly familiar with that. You could sit in your room for another ten years thinking about your issues and nothing would change, there will be no moment or thought that suddenly changes everything. There is no point in philosophising yourself to death when the only real solution is to act.

Don't try to become perfect all at once. Start trying to only smoke in the evening, try to eat a little better, exercise once a week in the beginning. One day at a time, small improvements. I still struggle with this stuff myself, i'm not perfect, but fighting is better than giving up.
