Here I am... :-)

Well, I made it to day 4. Yay. After yesterdays first post where I rambled on about needing a cig then going for a walk etc, then another walk...

Guess what,? I've just been for another walk! Before you all say the walking will do me good, I did walk it to the pie shop, lol.

Can someone reassure me that this will get easier. It's driving me around the bend. Last night was awful, I felt weak, dizzy, hot, light-headed and other things all at the same time. I know it will get easier, just wanted to know how long that would be and again, just some reassurance/encouragement.

Thanks.

Hi wigbri

I'm not all that far ahead of you (day 21 today) but it will get easier. I have good days (today) and bad days (yesterday), and even good and bad minutes/hours. But overall it gets easier and easier each day - it really does.

Go find a smoker and sniff them, that'll make you feel better! Best of luck. You CAN do this. X

Thanks divingdale, wished I was on day 21, well done.

I'm posting as I will be able to look back + it helps me at the time. Not going on any more walks today, need to get some work done!

Well done, you are doing great. Keeping busy is good, helps to distract you when thoughts are straying to smoking.

In my signature there is a website about symptoms, in there you will find lots of info about what happens when we stop, makes sense out of the strange things that are going on at the moment. There are lots of other websites with great information too.

Those of us who are further down the track suggest you read lots about why you smoked which helps you to stay focused and stopped. Share often and help yourself and others, all good recipes for success.
