WELCOME, Cjandkayla1 ... You've come to the right place for help and support in your quest to quit smoking! What an excellent decision to make at 34... you're still young and hopefully have avoided some of the insidious long-term affects of smoking.
It isn't the easiest thing you'll ever do, but you CAN do it and I promise it will be one of the best, if not THE best, thing you will ever do for yourself. You will never regret becoming a nonsmoker... guaranteed!
Others will be along with some homework and advice for you to get you started. I just wanted to welcome you, and if needed I'll be watching for you and popping in with my experiences, as you go along your journey.
and YES, it is not unusual to feel odd, uncomfortable, antsy, angry, sad, weird, different, up-and-down, when you are withdrawing from nicotine. It is normal. This is an addiction, and those feelings are about the worst that it gets... not like you've seen heroin withdrawal or alcohol withdrawal portrayed, but not much fun and difficult to get through sometimes. The feelings and cravings you will have, as described above, are all temporary. Your benefits will be permanent. So how great is that?
Again, Welcome
