Welcome Noenergynow - firstly, Happy Birthday, how good is it to be smoke free for it! Secondly, congratulations on over 50 days smoke free, that is great

The lack of motivation and energy is normal but we have to do things ourselves to help with this - drink plenty of water, avoid foods high in sugar and starch, lots of fresh whole fruit and vegetables. Cut out caffeine and alcohol. Keep up the walking. You also could head to your local health food shop / chemist for herbal / vitamin supplements to help with these feelings. Also, below pinned post is worth a read as you approach 3 months.....

Cigs are a stimulant and also a slight anti depressant because of the way nicotine interacts with the body. You'll get use to it, eventually.
