Hiya joe and welcome to quit support😊

Congratulations on day 8, great achievement but it's a roller coaster of emotions alright😩

Don't worry, it's all very normal side effects though. Hang in there and have a good look around the site. Lots of help under pinned posts too.

Are you using NRT or are ya cold turkey?

Hello joeuk

When people quit, the withdrawals can come on strong..... Your chemistry in your brain and body are changing and depression and/or crying is a very normal part of quitting unfortunately..... Have you tried a bit of nicotine gum or spray...... I went cold turkey and went through hell but it's all worth it..... Keep the site close.... People on here will help you through your withdrawal....

Hi joe. Well done on day 8 that's fantastic. At day 8 I was feeling raw emotionally and was ranting and raving like nothing on earth like really angry irritable. It does pass. It does make you feel depressed as well as ur going without the smokes that have been part of ur life.

Welcome to the site everyone is really helpful and supportive and u can look back thru all our posts and see we all been thru the same thing. 😀🚭
