So the last ten days or so haven’t used the vape and have had no cravings for nicotine , so far !so amazed

But withdrawal is so hard so many nights without sleep that really impact on mental health and my constipation is worse than ever

I can’t tolerate any laxatives , even movicol and have tried literally every natural remedy

It’s a nerve thing and was prob exacerbated by smoking

I keep holding on to the fact that

I smoked for 40 years and it will take time at last today I am beginning to cough as have never done so and it feels positive

Also ribs and chest tight and sore

Hoping the next few weeks will being some relief

Would appreciate feedback

Well done Maison, 2 clean weeks. I'm sorry you're suffering those unpleasant withdrawal symptoms but hang in there and they will pass.

Coughing is good it's your lungs cleansing but if it goes on to long have a word with your Doctor.

Here's a link which explains a little.

Hello Maison.

17 days smoke🚭free is amazing 👏👏👏 well done...... for help with sleep, try some decaf tea or coffee, they both taste the same as normal tea or coffee, but will help with sleep. Xx😔

Well done Maison, you're really doing well. The insomnia is a trial, but you will get through, just keep pushing. I hope you are proud of yourself because you should be, its not an easy thing to do but you're doing it.
