Exhausted since starting smoking again

I am new to this website, so I hope I am posting this in the right place. I thought this might help some people who recently quit -- If you saw my other post, I recently made a horrible decision and started smoking again after almost 9 years quit (May 23, 2009 was my original quit date -- Memorial Day weekend). Well, ever since I started again I have been absolutely exhausted. I sleep for 9, 10 or more hours a night and still wake up super tired. And I am doing very little exercise, far less than I used to as a non-smoker. I plan to quit again very soon, but I just thought this might help some of the new quitters. I remember when I quit last time being super tired the first few days or maybe the first week, but trust me, now I know smoking CAUSES us to be tired and does NOT give us more energy! Breathing fresh oxygen, exercising, eating healthy and getting enough sleep are what really gives us energy!

Correct me if I'm wrong . You've been struggling to get back to a quit ? 

Please get back to quitting asap . Don't hesitate . It's important to take care of your health now , more than ever . You need support , we are here . I'm not sure why you are scared if you are ? Speaking for myself , please share how I can be of help . I gave away a previous 8 year quit , and back to 9 and a half years now. You have to make the first decision before I can be of support . I can however encourage you not to procrastinate further . Every day is a good day to quit . You are worth it . 

Edit ... my apologies I just noticed this is an old post of yours from 2018 . If you are still here fill us in on how it's going .
