Never would have believed that I'd be saying that - 22 days and feeling over the moon on the one hand and physically crap on the other. But the physical symptoms are normal and will pass.
The real difference with this quit has been this forum and the support it gives. For anyone like me who's reading around for a little while before joining, just do it. You won't regret it.

Hey York. Well done on getting to week 4. You should feel proud of yourself, it's a big achievement. In regards to the physical symptoms, I sympathise. I have never felt as bad as the the last few weeks. The only thing I can suggest is to hold on to the knowledge that it's temporary - your body is repairing years of damage. Keep at it!!!
Hi YorkSX.I am just so pleased you got through to this week.Well done! Ive only just stumbled on to your old post and held my breath waiting to discover if you had made it through.Its a long old haul isnt it with lots of twists and turns on the way.Each one and each day making you stronger.Another forum member said about the 'entities'(the ones that make you want to give up) Deny them Defeat them and scrape them off. : ) Keep up the good work! All the best x
Hey Magic, you may want to have lots of really hot shower or steam your a face in hot water over abowl put towell round your head to keep steam in, you need to get that sh1t up man!
Talking to my son-in-law today, who's been quit over a year, he got a productive cough around 6-8 weeks. I feel as if I really need to shift some gunk from the bottom of my chest so it was good that a little came up today.
My wife bought me a little steam inhalator with a mask (only £2.00 from Home Bargains) so I'll give it a go.
I have been quit nearly 8 months now and like Una, I didn't have a cough before and I haven't had one since I quit, so I dont think everyone will get this 'productive cough'. Well done on staying quit, you have done really well York
