Is this detox or am I sick?

Hi everyone. I posted for the first time yesterday, and everyone has been so wonderful here!! I feel great this morning. I actually accomplished something and forgot that I don't smoke!! When I remembered that I forgot (I know, I know) I did not panic like I did yesterday. It was more of a little sadness, because like ALL of you know, I loved it.

Anyway...I am having some signficant sinus congestion and a deep, throaty cough. I do not particularly feel sick. Actually for the first time yesterday, I took a deep breath that did not involve wheezing and/or induce a "hack attack." I can still take a deep breath, but I almost have a croupy throat cough. I did not know if anyone has had symptoms after quitting. It is cold and flu season also, but I do not feel run down, like you typically due with an illness.

God Bless all of you for bringing a smile back to my face and helping wipe away the tears. I was scared to death to think of what would happen if I didn't quit, but even more scared of quitting...............you guys are the only ones who will understand that! There will be a hundred more struggles as I face triggers as each days comes, but I have never felt stronger.
