I had some nasal congestion post quitting but don't think it was allergy related. Mine has been considerably clearer since then and hopefully will stay that way. Hoping your's improves as well.

Congrats on 2 weeks Linda! And yes, it will get better but not magically overnight. It is a very slow process but you can make sure it happens by just sticking with nope! That's the key right there. Are you wearing the patch at night? I didn't use the patch but I have heard it can cause sleep issue for some people. Check with a pharmacist or Dr. perhaps if your sleep issues continue. Temporary sleep issues are also a pretty common quit symptom even for non-patch quitters. It will pass with time.

Congrats on day 7 Steven. One whole week! Your struggles aren't over yet but the worst of it is in that you will get more and more "comfortable" days going forward and the benefits of quitting will start becoming more and more evident! It's all good from here on providing you stay committed to nope!

NOPE! I'm on the Quit Train!

Watering my lawn at the moment cuz it's hot and dry here so I hope that gives you as much excitement as it did for me You're still pretty early in your quit so it's to be expected that you will still have some very difficult days. It's your junkie brain trying a different way to overpower your logical brain. In the very early days (first couple of weeks or so) your junkie brain tries to get you to smoke again by keeping constant pressure of withdralaw on us, hoping we'll just say screw it, I'm gonna smoke again. Later on (about where you would be now) the tactic changes to, we'll I'm gonna back off for a bit then hit that junkie with a gig shot of crazy withdrawal because they figure they have me beat by now. Both tactics are tough to deal with but at least now you have honed some pretty significant quit tools and know how and when to use them so take these tough cravings in stride and just keep noping! Those challenges will eventually wither and die.
