20 days quitting cold turkey. Not as jittery and anxious as last week. No more panic attacks since last week. Felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. I've had trouble sleeping, Until last night!! I can't wait for all symptoms to go away.

Go buy yourself a selfish gift. Use the money you saved from cigs.

Hey Mad300dog - how are you getting on? Can you give me your quit date when you get a chance for your milestone badges.

Welcome _Qbpeace and congratulations on over 20 days smoke free! I too quit cold turkey almost 20 months ago. I hear ya with those early days - it was hell and never want to go through them again, but, I promise, as each day passes the stronger and easier it will become for you.

Have a read of below pinned post if not already done so, will give an idea of what to expect. You are doing great, wishing you continued strength :)
