Does it ever get better?

Day 4... Sigh... Please please get better. I've been reading other people's posts and have been having some of the same symptoms. Glad I'm not the only one, even though it sure feels like it! Waking up at night on hourly intervals, struggling to go back to sleep... And so darn depressed. It was my choice to quit and I AM going to do it. But it honestly feels like my best friend has left me. It sounds so silly. Taking a deep breath and a drink of water and once again fighting tears. When does this stop? Can I have a day? Or around a day? Need something to look forward to! I think I can I think I can, I know I can beat this! Thanks for letting me vent. Good luck everyone.

So sorry you've had such a rough night. Please hold onto your quit, fight the cravings and BELIEVE that it will get easier. I promise that it does :) xxx

yes yes yes it does get better your post so reminded me of me i remember sitting in my toilet crying my eyes out so no one would see me cause i was so embarassed i was crying over dirty old fags you will find bit by bit it will get better you will start to get an hour or so of normal carefree life and very quickly that time will expand and expand until the roles have swapped and you will spend more time not thinking about it than thinking about it

i remember it all seemed very consuming at the start but very quickly things improved then you will get stronger and stronger
