Day Two--WOW

[sheri10]

OK, this is day two and I still have no urge to smoke.  Other, odder (is that a word?) things are now happening.  I am spewing bitchy things at people and I don't even FEEL angry.  I don't understand it.  I'm also still dizzy and unfocused. 

I don't want to smoke at all so, again, I'm alright there.  I don't know what''s happening with everything else.  I'm usually sane and rational!!  Any suggestions?

Irritablity could be a side effect of your nicotine withdrawl. Stay focused! They say the "urge" will pass in about 5 minutes, and withdrawls should be gone in a week or so. Then it's just you against the enemy... your loved ones will give you a pass while you are beating the worst part! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

Remember H.A.L.T if you are hungry eat

if you are angry walk it off or write it out, or deal with it without doing any harm

lonely;call a friend or visit one

tired, sleep, even a power nap will help

keep your nutrition good vegetable platter, fruit platter, vitamins etc

make sure you are getting enough rest at night, if not i'd try alteril? saw an add on tv ,it sounds natural?

Maybe they deserve your bitchiness, LOL!

Seriously, being irritable and fatigued are definitely just side effects.  Yesterday (Day 2 for me) I wanted to go to bed at noon, lol!

Hang in there, stay strong, Not One Puff Ever : )

Day 2 is great!  You're still sane and rational - you just need to allow the nicotine to exit your system. Afater 72 hours it will all be gone.  No desire to smoke is awesome - I had the same experience when I quit. It's unusual and I consider myself lucky.  Stay hydrated, stay busy, stay rested and most of all stay focused.

Congrats on your excellent decision to choose life! You will never regret it. Let us know how it is going.

WTG..... Let's knock out day 3. You are doing great Sheri. I knew you could do it.

[sheri10]

So, Rick, this is all normal??

[topher10]

Suggestions...  Yeah, Don't Smoke!!!!

[Rick_M]

Yep, I had exactly the  same issues. We all did. Hang in there they will slowly improve.
