Hi Bonnie, im on day 10 and i feel exactly the same sleep is not an option for me at the minute, so i know exactly how you feel. Just try and focus on the positives and know that this is only temporary! xxxx

Bless you, it must be hard having the little ones around, luckily i dont have anyone to look after so can just try and sleep whenever i get the chance!

My cravings have been OK, nothing to crazy, but i have been struggling to sleep, have weird dreams that revolve around smoking, and my appetite has definitely peaked a little (which i have got to be careful of, otherwise i wont be able to fit into my chair at work :P)

What about you? How are you finding it, other than the lack of sleep of course? xxx

sleeplessness is a very common part of recovery...I quit cold turkey and really struggled with going off to sleep...if i was absolutely exhausted i would fall asleep and wake up a couple of hours later...i really feel your girls pain

In terms of lungs aching...I had a very tight chest..if i was going to sneeze, i had to brace myself..it felt like my rib cage was going to snap in half..

I can tell you both that these symptoms of recovery do pass..

stay strong as you are doing just awesome

Hi all

I seems to have the same issue, it takes ages before I fall asleep at night, this is day 7 for me, I m using e cigs to beat the crave, but insomnia it is now a big problem, will go to doc in a week time to see if any improvement.

Good luck
