Hi @Kingelocin! I would agree with what @jillar said and would also add that quit symptoms can be numerous and vary from person to person so try not to focus on those too much as you'll only worry yourself for no reason because if they're truly quit symptoms, they will eventually disappear. As Jillar mentioned, keep as busy (distracted) as possible. Exercise is a great way to distract yourself, even just going for regular walks! Your 6 weeks is a fabulous start toward a life long quit but it's relatively short in terms of your overall quit. I'm sure you're seeing some imporovement in the frequency and intensity of cravings by now and that will continue. I know when I quit, I struggled for months with a short temper. That eventually disipated and I'm now a sweet little angel . My point is that some quit symptoms can hang on for some time. My 2 cents; go with the flow and you'll get through just fine in the end. Oh and, stick around here on Quit Train. You'll never get better support

Hi Kingelocin and Welcome to the Train. Sometimes in early quit, anxiety and stress can cause head aches and palpitations. I had quite bad palpitations for about 4 months when I first quit. I found relaxation helped me, lying on my bed with headphones on, listening to hypnotherapy, and ASMR, was so soothing, their voices really relax you. Also audio books, and relaxing sleep music and sounds do wonders. Remember to treat yourself too, it’s amazing how the money adds up when your not buying smokes. stay determined

Welcome aboard @Kingelocin and congratulations on your deciding to take your freedom back Googling my symptoms was also how I found my first support board. There's no better place to be than with a group of people who have been through or are going through what you are going through. As far as your symptoms go, you can expect them to last at least few months so you still have a ways to go. And you will still need to go through the nicotine withdrawal once you get off the patches. I used distractions, playing games, reading funny threads in our Social section or educating myself on the main section. I also found supporting others took my mind off my misery. I also was addicted to soft peppermint puffs and sucked on them for the whole first year of my quit. And when things got really bad I took out my JAC (jillars air cigarette) an imaginary cigarette I pretended I was holding in my fingers and then going through the motions of "smoking" it. It worked great at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing Hang in there, because the icky feelings are only temporary!

Good morning @tocevoD I just read your thread and got caught up on your progress. Wow, good for you. You are making some good progress. Just keep it going my friend.

Hello @Ray1198... We have something in common. I also had to quit drinking for a period because I had such a strong association with having a drink and smoking. I was never a heavy drinker but I could not have a drink wihtout a ciggie. And like you, I was also a serial quitter.... Good for you for coming back here for support. You will never annoy us. Lets both of us make this our Forever Quit. You have got this Ray!

Good Morning all, today is my lucky 13th year quit day!

Before we learnt the harm … Tobacco Companies would do anything to make sure the poor smoker stayed hooked
