Its now Day 5 - whooohooo!! Thanks to everyone for their support and hope you are all holding on in there....headaches and dizziness peaked for me today, as did the palpitations and generally feeling of spaced-outness....its all very surreal and kinda feels like an out of body experience, but I am going with the flow!! :eek:
Looking forward to treating myself at the weekend with the £25.00 I have already saved...actually just booked myself a couple of nights at a spa so I have something to look forward to....
Keep strong...

I'm day 5 as well, and today is my treat day. Today I am allowing myself to indulge in whatever food I want no matter how decadent. I'll use some restraint in proportions however.
Are you using anything such as the patch or Champix or whatever? I'm using Champix and I have a lingering mild headache, and am feeling very scattered. My focus has lost focus...Lol.
Look at all those things you experience today as signs that you are healing and adjusting. They might make you feel really out-of-sorts, but every day you go, is another day towards a whole lifetime of something much more wonderful. Keep this going, it will go from strength to strength even when you feel that its 'getting a bit much'.. it will get better.. but do read up on what you are quitting and certainly read the experiences of others, as i find it can re-inforce your resolve.
You won't believe the change for the better you'll feel, you just have to work at it now to get there, and it will happen for you too.
Embo, good job! I'm also on day 5!!!! I am using the patch are you using anything? I feel great, patch makes me alittle anxious but that's ok keeps me moving and I've been on the treadmill 3 days this week, whew didn't think I could do this but hey look at us, WE ARE DOING GREAT! Plus this is a great place for wonderful support!
Congrats to all on day 5 - I am only 1 day ahead of you. I just wish non smokers would/could understand how hard it is to beat the addiction ... and it makes me furious that such a 'legal drug' is still allowed to be sold. I suppose things are moving forward with the public places smoking bans etc tho. It certainly helped spur me on as I always felt like such a social leper. Anyone noticed that when you smoked, nobody around ever seemed to but now you dont, smokers are everywhere? :confused:

All the things you're feeling just now are normal and will pass very soon
