DAY 4, mouth hurts

[Traceypo]

Hi all,I quit smoking 4 days ago using nicorette inhalator. I'm doing OK,had a few temptations to go to shop and buy some but I've resisted.

My tongue has ulcers on underside and throat hurts, is this all connected?

Thanks for reading.

Hi Tracey, well done on your quit. Yes these are common symtons of quitting, suffered myself in the first 2 weeks. No one tells you about them don't go out and buy cigs before you know it you will have already done a week , so well done to you. Stay strong , have a read of some of the pinned posts very helpful, and stay close to this site, as we have a wonderful quit family here, who all know what your going through. Just shout out. X

Thanks hun, it hasn't been too bad so far, apart from the throat and ulcers, we're going away on Tuesday to Disneyland Paris and I really didn't want to be a smoker when we went.

Well Done and enjoy your holiday, avoid the duty free too lol you can do this , and it's great you are feeling good all bar the mouth ulcers. Try corsodyle or warm salt water and swish around mouth , worked for me xx

Also gargle if your throat is sore

19th April was my quit day, in a way the ulcers are welcome cause they're stopping me from eating everything in sight!

Ha ha ha Nice one Tracey, cos we dooooo tend to put a bit of weight on when we quit  

Thankyou for letting me know your quit date, I will go and logg you into our data base, soooo, now I can keep your Winners badges  updated  

Are you ok using the inhalator ?? cos its very good if used the right way  

[Traceypo 9 MONTH WINNER in reply to monky]

I am, I have a history of anxiety (general anxiety and health anxiety) the patches made me shake previously so I didn't want them. I done a month on the inhalator before but stupidly had a drink and started smoking again.

I'm using between 2-3 cartridges a day, don't know how many is average, strangely the cigarettes I thought I'd miss the most aren't the ones I do, I'm managing mornings and evenings well,it's the 'boredom' smoking that I miss.

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to Traceypo]

Yes Tracey, drink and ciggs go hand in hand !!!!  so maybe try to keep off too much drink for the time being eh  

I think your about right with the cartridges, and its sooooo good to that your not missing the ciggs probably what your getting an empty feeling, something is missing !!!!

Try to exercise, do something different, find a hobby, etc to fill this emptyness Try to change your routine if you can, have a look around your house, can you alter it for the better ?? does it need a coat of paint ?? try to keep yourself busy doing something and the emtyness will soon go  

[Traceypo 9 MONTH WINNER in reply to monky]

That's why I chose this time, on Tuesday we go to Paris for a week, I'll be constantly on the go, plenty of exercise and certainly won't miss the old dread of 'where can I smoke'.

By the time I get home I'll have been quit two weeks.

Then my dining room needs decorating, transferring all cigarette money into my saving account so I can physically see the financial benefits also.

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to Traceypo]

Tracey, it sounds like you got it all sorted, ACE gal, am loving the way your thinking    

I think the first 2 weeks are the hardest for us, sooo thats good your going away but please be careful and watch what you drink eh  

Yes, you watch that money growwwww

Quitting isn't easy but it's worth it... I keep my quit family close ... They're awesome support... 1 puff =1 pack 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
