16 super duper long hard days :D

[Abratforu]

Well folks, here I am on my 16th onto my 17th day....... proud of myself : ) I haven't been much in the forums this past week, I actually was having a really hard time comparing it to my first 3 days felt that terrible . I was extremely mad for 2 days straight I have no clue why.. my skin has taken the turn for the worst looks terrible BUT I am better mentally today and thinking wow I made it another day. I tried the tips on stress etc but oh boy there was no moving me from that mood I was simply the biggest form of evil LOL but I am okay now hahaha.. and for some reason my body decides to grant me back Eczema which I never had since i was 12! well I am sure this is all for a reason life could be worse right? and I forgot to add I am 52 years old have been smoking since I was 15 that's a long time to long I hope my lungs will recover from all the abuse

Hey Annette Abratforu , day 17 is great and I promise the first month or so is the worst as your body and mind is working very hard to rewire, repair and recover, but it will recover which is the remarkable thing - it just takes some time. What you are feeling with the mood swings, anger is Mr Nico slowly but surely leaving you. The bad skin is your body clearing out which is a good sign, you may start coughing up tar too which is your lungs clearing and perfectly normal, raw honey or bottled honey a spoonful of it every morning and night is great to assist in clearing the lungs out...

Below is a link of common withdrawals worth a read so you will know what to expect - for the anxiety and moodiness herbal supplements can help with this that can be got in your local health food shop...
