Still going, this cold turkey quit is so much easier than I thought it would be Still getting a bit edgy now & then but it's not as bad as it has been when i've quit before...
This is my 5th quit & after smoking for 34 years I want this to be my final quit, i'm getting sick of quitting & starting so need to be stronger this time.

Well done to you - I am also feeling a bit edgy now so know what you mean!!!
Well done to both of you! You both should be very pleased with your selves. It takes some time to get used to that is why you feel edgy, it will get easier and easier. Onwards and Upwards to both of you have a great weekend!
Just stick with it. You smoked for 34 years so you can't expect everything to be perfect in just two days. Another day or two and the nicotine will be out of the system and then you will be approaching your first great landmark of one week quit. You will settle down soon, just ride the rough times out and look forward to the good times
I wish this edgy feeling would bugger off now - I feel a bit shaky & dizzy too, it's doin' my head in :rolleyes:
Must be cos i'm goin' cold turkey i've only ever last a few hours with cold turkey before so i'm hoping this feeling will go soon...
Im like a social misfit now too cos i'm avoiding everyone & everything! :eek:

I fully understand the social misfit bit. I did that too! Hard work this quitting lark. I am so glad I have stuck with it though, it really does get easier and big well done for going CT. That is the best way. I on the other hand needed some help. Mine was a 40 year habit! I am happy to say it will be 18 weeks for me come Monday. Keep it up and it will be you telling people it gets easier soon!
Keep going Denise. I'm just finishing on day 4 cold turkey, and believe me it really does quickly get easier each day.... comparing today to day 2 and it's so much easier (the shaky light headed feeling has gone and that's only 48 hours difference).
