Just Starting

[raychel2]

Well here I am.  Back on the Ex.  I had an old account but totally forgot all my log in information, so I just created a new one.  Truth is my "quit date" was a week ago.  I kept putting it off.  And putting it off.  I've done this before... quit.  Obviously didn't stay quit.  So it is not a new path.  I am sooooo tired of smoking.  Experience severe cognitive dissosance about it lol  so it is just time. 

The only thing I really really dread is that spacey out of it feeling that comes the first few days of quitting.  I wonder what causes it and if there is a way to prevent it or at least make it better? Hmmm....

Hi ! Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking.  I'm  not sure why you feel spacey the 1st few days of quitting.  But I would suggest the same thing to you as I did to Raychel.  Maybe if you ate small meals or healthy snacks during the day you wouldn't feel like that.  Go to www.whyquit.com  and read abt. blood sugar when you quit.  I hope this was helpful and Good Luck on your quit!

For me the first few days I don't know if I would call it spacey, but did have lack of concentration as my mind was having the battle between good and evil (smoke a butt/don't smoke a butt) all day long my mind would drift in and out of that internal discussion causing me to be distracted at times...maybe spacey....anyways after a couple of days of that it then eased off.....good luck, stay strong!!
