Welcome to our community Cookieman2525 and congratulations on 12 days smoke free, that is great

I too stopped cold turkey over 2 years ago and never looked back! It was a bumpy road at times but here to tell the tale. What you are experiencing at the moment with flu like symptoms is perfectly normal and will pass soon (if they don't, you may need a trip to your chemist or doctor to get something to help it along).

Below is a link to some pinned posts worth a read if not already done so:

Thanks.. I've been for bloods ECG and xray today at hospital. I'll see my Doc for the results in the next week or so.. Hopefully the worse is over👍💗

High five for going cold turkey I couldnt, im a big baby lol. I had a week where everything that could be wrong with me I had. Now its all gone. Just the mind games and big belly to cope with 😂😂

It's your body getting rid of the c**p and your brain readjusting to being a non smoker, it takes a while, stick with it, lots of aches and pains, ups and downs .... it will be worth it in the end 💪😁

Hey Hev123 - how are you, you seem to be plodding along nicely

[Hev123 Valued Contributor in reply to RoisinO1]

Hey! I'm doing great thank you, some very strong cravings lately which came out of the blue but I'm coping 😁

Hoping they will 'do one' soon and get back to not thinking about those horrible, stinky things again!

N.O.P.E 😁
