Hiya....yep you sound like your on day 5 alright!! Your going through pure hell i understand totally, i remember when i quit i felt like the walking dead..... inside i just wanted to die!! it is painful this quitting business but i promise you this DOES PASS and you will never have to do this again. Get through it one day at a time, just 'exist' but know that every hour that passes you are making massive progress,,,, it does get better, if you look back at my posts from when i quit you can read the progress but i will say a positive attitude really does make it go quicker. Hang in there your doing fab.

Hi

Hang in there!!!! Honestly it does get better. Tomorrow will be 2 months for me and it's the best thing I have ever done.

I've been through every emotion possible and had nearly every side effect possible but I can say it's been worth it and it does get easier. I can go a whole day without thinking about smoking now.

Keep up the good work.

Hi NG

Yup been there and nearly bought the fag!

I found that initially it was easy, euphoria and all that for the first couple of days. Then at the end of week 1 I hit the wall. Everything seemed to be conspiring against me. Everywhere I turned there were smokers - even on the TV. The body craved (well mind really), I was knackered and it didn't seem such a lark anymore.

BUT... It does go away. By about day 8 I was fine again. Starting to breathe better and really feel the benefits. And this has carried on. Each day I find new benefits - better skin, more energy, a clearer mind and NO SMELL!

Grind your teeth, take it out on some poor inanimate object, chew gum, eat, go for a run do whatever you have to do to get through it. Because it will pass.

Best of luck and stay on the forum

Quite agree, day 5 was when I relapsed, I think the excitement and determination of giving up had passed and I was weak. I smoked for 2 days and then jumped straight back in.

Keep going, the bad day do get further inbetween and much easier to cope with.

Day 5/6 sucks. You have to get through it, really, one hour, one crave at a time.

Just grit your teeth, you can do this, and you'll get to a week and be SO BLOODY PROUD.

Stay strong. Don't cave, you'd just have to do it all again.
