Today has not been so bad, though I am slightly disappointed as I expected it to be easier as the dreaded 72 hours have passed. I've kinda burnt out the evangelical zeal I had at first, though am still trying to stay positive. I'm looking forward to the day when I don't think about fags at all and this is all part of my past. My mood has been swinging a little.
Anyway I found this on you tube and it cracked me up
You are right the nicotine is now out of your body, so it is now a matter of dealing with the mental side of the quit. Take some time to read the links in peoples sigs, it will help.
It does get easier, one day at a time.
As for the mood swings, I would not know anything about that, as people will tell you I am the most stable person around here,
Well done getting to day 4 and pleased it wasn't quite as tough for you yesterday
The mood swings are normal as is thinking about fags this early in a quit
It will pass though Promise and it does get much easier as well this can be a real roller coaster as we all fight for freedom from this addiction we all have
Just keep going and soon you'll find you think about them less often and one day you'll suddenly realise Hey I haven't thought about them for hours and then it will be days and so on until all you get are little fleeting thoughts now and then usually when you do something you associate with smoking for the first time since quitting
Just be patient and give your body time to heal itself from the abuse you gave it through smoking it will heal but it does take time OK
