I'm new here. I smoked about 15 fags a day for about 12 years and developed bronchitis after having a bout of swine flu. Trying to smoke with bronchitis made me feel absolutely awful, so I decided to quit. I was getting to the really fed-up stage with smoking anyway. Starting Day 3 today and feeling crappy. I got stomach pain, headaches and desperately craving a fag. Also, no matter how hard I try I can't stop drinking cups of tea, which undoubtably is making me feel worse. COngrats to all the other quitters. Sorry for the moan, needed to let it out somehow. lisaX:eek:

I know exactly how you feel! I'm feeling very sorry for myself today, tea coming out of my ears, don't know what I want or feel. Blues indeed! But hey, we made it 3 days! It's got to get easier I reckon, and it will be a great achievment to get through a whole weekend smoke free!
Well done getting to day 3 you're doing just fine but sorry you've been ill
The way you feel just now is normal but it passes quickly Promise
For the craves drink water yes I know it sounds daft but it really does help lots of us
Below is my standard welcome and advice post which I try and give all new members
Welcome to the forum and well done on the decision to quit possibly one of the most important you will ever make and you will be losing nothing but you will regain control of your life and that has to be good
You will find all the help and support you need on here as we all help each other just like a family we are here for you every step of the way cheering the good days and sympathising with the bad but the good far outweigh the bad
Read the posts on here you will find a lot of tips and advice and in the signatures of a lot you will find links to other sites just click on them Here
You are both doing really well....just by virtue of being on day 3
It can be a bitch of a day, but it's only a day and that will pass. Keep busy and try to do something else when you get a crave...anything else. Possibly the tea isn't helping the stomach pains and maybe you could sip water instead.
LOL deedeebel, just read your thread. Yeah we must have posted at the same time. You're right about the weekend...if we can get through it...that's really good. I always have a problem with weekends when I'm quitting. It's because at work you know you have to fill you time with working (no surprise). But at the weekends I'm at a loss....I've gotta get myself more motivated somehow and not sit around feeling miserable. Ironing here I come
For my money day 3 is the hardest one. Don't know why but it was rough. I cannot promise you that it will be down hill from here but I would put a great many eggs in that basket. Pamper yourself today. Go ahead and drink tea. It cannot hurt. Just get through today. Go for a walk or a bike ride. Do not take money with you when you go! Call a friend, take a bath, take a nap. One hour at a time. You CAN do this.
Hiya Bloolou, well done on deciding to quit tomorrow. It takes ages to actually not keep putting it off. Like Cavalier says "stay in contact with the forum". It really has helped me. I've just had a banana and had a flash of a massive fag being in my gob....Day 3....man it's just crazy. I feel like knocking myself out until Day 4. I just have to remember that my soon to be two year old son, won't have to smell my fag breath when I read him a story tonight. He can't express it yet but boy I bet I used to stink. Lisa X
