Hmmm, for some reason, some of us in the early stage of our quit journey seem to get  the - quitters flu soooo, your not alone with that  

It only lasts a few days, its just our bodies readjusting to our new lifestyle BUT, saying that, if you have any doubt, please consult your GP eh  

Take care now and keep warm

Hi Teeny 😃

There's an app coming soon for iPhone user, and I would assume for android phones.

 Hope you feel better soon, I'm in bed with the cold 🤒🤒 I was lucky when I quit no sore throats, no coughing but making up for it now 😷😷 

I have IBS as well and found I was constipated for months after my quit it was horrible, bloated and swollen stomach and so tired but suffering from insomnia. Not pretty 😱

Everyone's quit is different but as Monky said you should be very proud of yourself 👍👍👏👏

Hang in there it does get easier 😃

14 days free and I have a thumping headache, cramp in legs and feel like......well you know what! Rest, rest and more rest if you can. It seems to be quite a common phenomenom. Smoked for over 40 years myself although not heavily so suppose I can't complain. 

[shantimar in reply to sandra_dee]

Hey Sandra_Dee 👋

Sorry to hear you're not feeling great, remember your fluid intake this might help with your headaches and cramps. 

You're doing great 14 days quit 

Well done 👍🎉👏

Xx

[sandra_dee 11 Month Winner in reply to shantimar]

Agree totally, thanks for the reminder re extra water. No cough...mind you I never did when I smoked but I have read the sneaky manufacturers put an 'anti pertussif' cough supressant in the things nowadays.Also some kind of anti depressant.....gone are the days when our aunties etc.smoked good old tobacco. It's all the extra chemicals to keep us hooked! Almost caved in today but didn't. no intention of going back either.

[shantimar in reply to sandra_dee]

Great you stayed strong today Sandra_Dee 👍

I know all the chemicals they sneak into tobacco it's frightening mind you don't know if there's such a thing as good old tobacco but I know what you mean. These huge tobacco companies have a lot to answer for 🤔

[Hidden in reply to sandra_dee]

Omg   that's crazy what they put in cigarettes!!!!!!!!  They're killing people..  Thanks for that reminder and keep up the great quit and attitude xx

Sandra, when we quit smoking, our bodies go through a vast change cos its not just nicotine its getting rid of, but its all those other toxins that come with it over 4000 of them  Soooo, please be patient eh

Hi Teeny and Sandra, can't say more than the rest of the guys but as they say in recovery circles 'this too shall pass'. On that subject, watch out for HALT! Hungry Angry Lonely Tired-they can be trigger times so check in with yourself to see what needs your attention. Do you need to eat? Bash a pillow?!! Phone a mate or have a well earned snooze? Get to know yourself again without the smokescreen and lurvvvve yourself! 💕💞💝💘💖💖💕much love Poll X
