Hold on tight to your quit My Life! You have worked so hard to get were you are now and you should be proud of that. You are at 4 weeks now and yes, the early quit symptoms are still with you but not for much longer as you are already starting to see improvements in those and having some better days. Remember, quitting is a process and does not happen overnight or suddenly but very slowly. You are making good progress but sometimes it's hard to tell. Stay close to this place too because we all understand exactly what you are going through and the feelings you have as you continue on your quit journey. Your addiction knows it's in trouble now. You have starved it for 4 weeks! It's getting desperate now and will try to lure you back in weak moments. Don't listen to it! Continue on with your quit. You are winning the war against smoking

Sorry you're not sleeping well. It's not unusual in the early days of your quit. Have you eliminated caffeine from your diet? If not try that, it may help. Drink fruit juice too, It helps with your blood sugar levels which may help your sleep pattern. In any case, the sleep issue won;t last forever. Quitting smoking is worth dealing with some temporary inconveniences

Be patient LT You're not quite a month into your quit yet so those cravings and urges to smoke are normal and you found a way to say NO to them today as you have in the past and will again when they come calling. The thing is, they will come calling less frequently and those calls will get weaker and weaker as you forge ahead. Doing great so just keep it up and always say NOPE!

I remember starting to smoke when I was 17 with a friend of mine. We both started because it was the cool thing to do I guess. We were also going to run away from home together and go to Florida and live under a pier by the ocean. (That never happened of course)! But we both became addicted together when still in high school. I blame no one but myself for getting hooked. I know big tobacco has had some pretty aggressive marketing tactics going on but we all wanted to smoke for other reasons regardless of what big tobacco was telling us. It's much better now for the younger people coming along because society in general looks down on smoking almost everywhere. That's a huge factor I think.Welcome to Quit Train TobacNo (love the name ).

Just remember N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever)Hi Nik and welcome to Quit Train! You have received a lot of great advice already so I won't repeat it. From your description of reasons for quitting, breaking free from the slavery of being a nicotine addict sounds like it's a big one for you. Doing crazy things you wouldn't normally do just to feed your addiction is common for all of us. I have found the freedom from this after I quit to be the most enjoyable benefit.
