I'm still smoke free. But I don't feel like myself at all. It's day 8 I hate the way I feel but love that I can breath deep and not cough!!

Hey Ferberitis, glad the cold / cough has eased.   

1 week done, that is massive, embrace the quit now and educate yourself as much as possible on what is happening to your body and mind now you have quit.  As each day passes you are getting closer to feeling normal again, but it a slow gradual process as it takes time for the body to heal after the damage of smoking BUT it will heal.

What is needed now is P.E.D.S.

PATIENCE, EDUCATE, DETERMINATION, STRENGTH

You can do this!

Ferbiritus...I would say you will never feel like your smoking self again...BUT yes this first ten days is a Total Blah....Someone dropped a bomb in your life and you are at war...Keep on fighting and I can promise it is lovely on the other side !!!

This life without coughing...wheezing....huffing and puffing is so good and once you experienced it you will never want to go back there... !!
