October 13, 20205 yr I am barely holding on. No cigarette since yesterday. I don’t want to eat because I will want to smoke afterwards. I am nauseated, so I have to eat something. I didn’t go to sleep until almost 4 this morning....them slept most of the afternoon. I am reading posts, watching Joel. Why do I feel so weird? xxoo
October 13, 20205 yr It's normal Margee, you're withdrawing from nicotine. It'll take about three days for it to leave your system but your body is already hard at work trying to repair the damage done from all those years smoking. I had insomnia for a good couple of months if I remember correctly but everyone is different so that may not be the case for you. Hang in there, once you get past the hard part you'll never have to go through it again as long as you keep your quit 😊

You are doing the right thing but you are suffering through nicotine withdrawal symptoms which is extremely common and to be expected. Most everyone on this site has experienced this. Fight through this. Your physical cravings should weaken over the next few days. Just remember, you are doing a great thing. Stay strong and keep the quit.

October 13, 20205 yr I don't know what's in the air today but @Margeetx the first time you called me buttlicker was a crack up but I asked you to call me jillar so I would appreciate it if you would.....
October 14, 20205 yr Maybe quit caffeine if you are having caffeine. Totally because stopping nicotine makes you feel the caffeine so much more intensely.

October 14, 20205 yr @Margeetx, Try to keep yourself busy all the time so that you don't think about it. The first few days of quit smoking I was able to cross out so many items that need to be done or fixed around the house that I've procrastinated for a long time. Morning coffee while reading/posting on Quittrain, then keep busy until bed time, that's how I got through the first week. Hang in there, you can do this.
October 14, 20205 yr Author oh Jillar......please forgive me.....I meant no disrespect. I have an extremely warped sense of humor. I will never disrespect you again. margee. xxoo
