Today has been abit harder than some other days in my quit, i have no energy and i couldn't get out of bed today. I didn't get up til about 3.30pm and when i did get up i really wanted a cig. I put a patch on staight away and i don't feel like i want cig as much now, so i'm really glad i didn't cave in. Thanks.
Daniel.

We on same day!!! Congrats on day ten sounds like it was a tough one but well done on gettin through it. I too found it very hard to get up this morning found the best thing was getting straight in the shower once I feel all nice after a shower and brushing my teeth I dont wanna go stinking myself up with smoke so it helps me not want one only thing is I took ages - was an hour late to work and used up all the hot water in the house so everyone else had to wait a bit longer for thier showers this morning... whoops
Hahaha... yer congrats to u too for getting to day 10, were only 4 days off a fortnight and getting to a fortnight is one of my litle targets i have set. Let's hope we have abit more energy for tomorrow hey.
Using NRT is tough...I tried it a dozen times, it just seems to me that u r always caving into nicotine...the achievement comes when you reduce the patch dosage..the energy will come back trust me...stick at it you are doing well..
Hi Dan you are sounding really down and I wonder if you are blaming the inability to get up on the quit, instead of seeing that maybe due to not being in work and as you said you needed to get a bit more exercise you are feeling a bit depressed?? I think if you are really struggling you should go see the doc, some people do get hit by depression big time when they quit and it is not all psychosomatic it is a real hormonal imbalance and needs to be treated so that it doesn’t get worse.
If however you are just feeling the Oh I can’t be bothered to get up sort of mood then fine, get your Ar%$ out of that bed and get moving or your quit will fold on you and you do not want that.
Sorry to shout but laying in bed is not going to do you any good physically or mentally, go down the local shelter and offer your services they will snap your hand of and it will keep you occupied and give you another focus in life, also good work experience for when you do a CV, see Im bossing you now as well LOL
No jamagie I think you talk aot of sense, it could be depression, i have suffered with depression in the past and i'm still taking anti-depressants. The reason i don't work is because i have psychosis and i am very sesitive to stressful situations... so yer i might book an appointment with the docs just to be safe because my self esteem as taken abit of a drop too.
