Hi
Exactly 1 year ago today I was in your position. It has been the hardest thing I have ever done but now it's so worthwhile.
I really struggled in the beginning. I went Cold Turkey and I had every side effect possible (couldn't sleep, brain fog, depresssion, constant pain in my back, headaches) You name it I had it. So many times I thought of caving in a buying just one packet but the thing that kept me going is thinking about how disappointed I would feel if I smoked and I knew because it had been so hard in the beginning for me if I smoked I wouldn't bother trying to stop again. I look back and laugh now because at times I thought it was end of the world and my life was over. I couldn't imagine never having a cigarette again and felt so low. But now i'm a year on and feel great and don't worry about putting on weight. I put on 2 stone but i've managed to get 1 1/2 off so just 7lbs to go!! Eating crap was one of the things that got me through.
I smoked 20 - 30 cigarettes a day for 20 years. So if I can do it so can you. Make sure you keep to this forum because there is so much support on here for you. Good Luck to you xxxxxxxxx
WELL DONE 
Thanks Terri, feeling a bit low today and your post has reinforced my quit to keep going. So glad you feel soooo much better for quitting, it inspires us.
