Morning. Sorry to hear you arent feeling well. It could be just the normal withdrawal symptons you get or a bug that is doing the rounds. Either way dose yourself up. Pat yourself on the back as you have nearly managed a week. Something to be proud of.

Ive read lots of people get the quitting cough, it's all the junk coming out, someone on here cracked a rib they were coughing so bad after quitting! 😮
It will pass eventually and you will start to feel so much better, the smokers cough will be gone!
Good luck 🍀😁

Hey Selbyquin - first big milestone tomorrow of 1 week
