Well I've reached Day 8 and its a sunny day..walked the dog for miles and ate healthy breakfast of fruit..my appetite is increasing and i could eat everything in site right now...nearly Lunch time followed by an afternoon nap...my night time sleep not going too well right now!!!
Well done day 8 the worst is over now. I had trouble sleeping in the first week, sleeping like a log now.
Welcome to the eat anything club. I'm managing to curb weight gain...........generally, but it will be a challenge for the not too distant future.
Congratulations on Day 8.
Good man Anthony if you just put your head down and take it steady,time goes by!!!!!!!
Can't seem to post anything other than here on the site today...anyway am on Day 15...wish all these aches and pains would go...never had so many withdrawals b4...sleeping very badly still...why is it so hard....I am sure I won't start smoking again but just wish there was some positive feelings to keep me going..I feel like i have had a really really bad flu and with no recovery insight!!!
Oh bless sounds to me like, you have had some sort of virus, maybe not linked to quitting smoking, I do hope a little trip to doctor if things don't improve may help.
Day 15 how fantastic, sending a huge pat on the back, it's not easy thus quitting, but your doing it quite nicely, just keep going.
There is recovery in site, and it really isn't that far away! You've done the horrible bit, hang in there. Might be a good idea to pop down to GP or nurse and see if you do have a virus. Treat yourself to something with all the money you have saved

I am also a member of the eat anything club, the insomnia club (it is currently 4am) but most importantly member of the I don't smell like an ashtray anymore club
It's funny how we're affected in different ways. I do have the munchies. But I'm sleeping for so long to the extent that it's difficult getting up for work. Although I know there are health improvements I'm not aware yet of feeling that different. Anyway, I know quiting is the best decision.
Congratulations Anthony I must admit my appetite has gone through the roof haha but I have joined a gym and am working on the weight gain. Feels great not smoking now think I'm over the worst where I am . Keep at it and own your quit its yours be proud.
Congrats Anthony my appetite is also enormous and although I fall asleep extremely easily I wake up briefly several times in the night which then brings the horrible feeling if not being able to get up for work.... Also the aches and pains in fact everything you have said I identify with and I'm still getting at day 32, from experience it definitely does pass quicker for some more than others, we all have to hang in there, I hope you have a better day soon xx

This phase sucks but just keep saying to yourself it will get better, there's not only an end to the discomfort but so many benefits to look forward to. As long as you stick with your quit, you will never have to go through this again, each day brings you closer to feeling great, to giving you the freedom you've not had in all your smoking years. It's hard to feel excited about all that when you feel lousy, but we're here to remind you.
Drink lots of water, be really kind to yourself right now, stay out of stressful situations, treat yourself, and just tell yourself what a hard core and tough person you are that you're doing this for yourself... it may be one of the toughest things you'll ever do and with it will come some of the best rewards, just be patient, and keep pushing through, one day at a time xo
Hope you're feeling a bit better today Anthony. Stick with it, you're doing wonderfully x
I hope you feel better soon. Your doing great though stick with it you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain
How's things today Anthony? X
Well I think I am up to day 17 unless I am loosing track......the pains have subsided have a strange rash on my ribs...maybe heat rash ...itches like crazy....but generally a bit better...sleeping is still bad........I never want to go through all this again so....nothing will make me smoke a cigarette !!!!!!! hoping to make that 3 week goal...and beyond!!!
With that positive attitude you will definitely make it x
Day 8
day 8
