Hi Linbeauty
Huge well done on deciding to quit, you must be so proud.
The end of the 2nd week tends to be a bit tricky for a few people on here hun, but it does get better really soon.
Read as much as you can and post often.
Oh and welcome to the forums

Hi Linbeauty
Welcome to the forum - you'll find it's a great place for advice and support.
That lost and empty feeling I think is the hardest thing to cope with - harder than some of the physical symptoms.
The only thing I can say is that it does get better - much better. I am on Day 31 and I can't believe how much easier it is now than it was. That said, last week I did struggle a bit with panicky thoughts. I am so glad I held out because today I feel great!
Stay strong and those empty feelings will get better as your body gets used to coping without the need for a ciggie.
Thanks
A really big thanks to you all it really does help to no im not on my own. oh big well done to you toxx
Stick with it linbeauty - you're not the only one and considering other people have had this problem (me included) and are still smoke-free years later it proves it is something that we can beat... and that WILL go away...
Every time I feel 'empty' I get up and do something - cleaned all my windows the other night, just to keep my hands busy. Best thing about this is that with the extra activity I've lost a couple of pounds in the two weeks since quitting, rather than putting it on as I feared...
thanks breaking free yes i am keeping busy and i does help very much xx
Hi lin!!
hey well done you!! the craves will become less intense and less often-stick with it, just think- if you start again, you will eventually want to stop again!!! and have to go through the whole process again xx
