I have quit smoking today, feeling a bit low about the whole thing, also worring about my health as i am asthmatic and am having a lot of aches and pains around my lower back, hips, chest and neck coming and going, these aches and pains are one of the main reasons ive decided to quit.

Hello and welcome.

As Carl has said its quite usual to have a low mood while quitting.

You have several reasons that are quite clear to you why you are quitting so concentrate on those.

You might wish to do some additional reading to educate yourself about the addiction and what to expect while quitting these websites are worth a look.

If you can get the mind in the right place everything else will fall into place. The biggest and most difficult part of nicotine addiction to beat is psychological side, the key is to think of quitting as gaining rather than sacrificing.

Here's to day 2 and remember no matter how difficult cravings may seem they are not life threatening whereas continuing to smoke is!!

All the best
