Gentle caring hug coming your way Kim 
deep breaths and keep moving forward stacking up those precious DOF ~ Days Of Freedom so each evening you can say YAY for another Day WON I remember only too well how horrendous it was in those early days and weeks of quitting smoking BUT with commitment and perseverance you will succeed in living a life of Freedom and we're all here to help you in any way we can, you've got this sweetie. 
Those first days and weeks of smobriety are marked by such emotional highs and lows. I actually remember laughing at some things that would normally not really amuse me. It was like I was intoxicated and just l ike that, the tears would come. Up and down and up and down, faster than any roller coaster I have ever been on. I cried and cried and laughed like the village idiot...it does pass. There is no way to speed this up, crying is fine, give yourself permission to let it out. Take care of yourself the way you would take care of a fragile loved one. Keep telling yourself that it will get better, you just cannot smoke and keep starting the cycle over and over again. I believed that with all of my heart and I repeated it to myself over and over again. You CAN do this, Kim and you have an army of EXers supporting you.
Hugs, 
,
Ellen
