i know that empty feeling but believe me it does pass. we all go through different phases of quitting and this is the phase that your in. its different for all of us but most of the feeling are similar!! as time goes on smoking becomes a memory that just drifts into your head at certain times or just once in a while. be strong and you will get through it as we all did. you are not alone..go do something..dont just sit and think about it..time makes us stronger--hang in there!!

It's a weird sensation. Like a hunger but not really. You are experiencing what Alen Carr calls the 'Empty and insecure feeling'.

It's o.k and that actually does pass after a short time. Easy to see why some of us substitute food though, eh?

Sit tight, this particular sensation IS transient.

Yeah I'm having this feeling too. and replacing it with tea/coffee/food...hopefully it will pass soon. I'm just trying to power through in the reassurance that I will feel better soon!

Congrats on day 4 :)
