So, I know this is different for everyone and everyone has different withdrawl symptoms but honestly...it hasn't been that bad for me! I know I am only on day 2 but day 1 went by WAY better than I expected. I expected a lot of irritability and headaches and moodiness...none of that really. What I did experience was a bit of heart racing when I would have a bad craving...I would just go outside and fake smoke (basically deep breathing while bringing my fingers to my lips as if I were smoking! lol!). I thought about smoking a lot. Had a lot of thoughts like, "Well maybe I'm really not ready for this." But then I remembered how badly I DID want to quit WHILE I was smoking...if you want to quit while you are sucking down a smoke then surely you want to quit when you are not smoking...it is just the addiction lying to you!! So...day 2...still pretty smooth. I still thought about cigarettes a lot...had a little bit of moodiness and even snipped at my mom once...but in my defense she was being really annoying!! Still no headaches...but my ears are kinda clogged. That's kinda weird. All in all I think I'm doing ok...really not as bad as I thought it would be. At times I do feel lost though and I have def thought about how easy it would be to just go get one of my brothers cigarettes or even just get a drag off of one of his while he is smoking. Can't go outside though when he is smoking cause I don't trust myself enough yet to NOT take that drag. But there's no turning back...the nicotine is out of my system and it's just in my head now...just have to let those receptors get back to normal!! Haven't started coughing up yuck yet so I'm sure that is coming...in the meantime just trying to let the urges come and go...fake smoked about 8 times yesterday and only 3 times today! I'm doing this!!
