October 15, 201411 yr Just keep CRUSHING it Jess, the 'tude will go away just like the cravings. You got this!
October 15, 201411 yr Hi Jess! I found these folks about 8 days into my quit and can definitely say I would not have made it without this place. So glad you have joined us! Push through any discomfort now and I promise you it will get easier. Smoking is a non issue for me now. Has been for a long time. In the meantime, take it easy on yourself. You're working hard to rid yourself of a killer addiction. We can write a note to your family if you need us too. lol Stick with us and please reach out if you need anything.
October 15, 201411 yr Welcome Jess :) Glad to have you here...After your first couple of weeks, it's about going through situations your first time as a non-smoker. Please do not hesitate to ever reach out to any of us for support. On the board or through private messages. We have all been through what you are going through. It's gets so much better, I can promise you that. There is a lot of reading about the addiction and this will help you more than you realize. When you just need some distractions, head on over to the social boards and play some games with us...new addictions, healthy addictions :)

October 15, 201411 yr Author I am taking Chanix which helps tremendously but my anxiety and uneasiness is what is troubling me and didn't begin until I quit. Wondering if I should ask for an anti anxiety med...or do these emotions ease soon? Any thoughts out there?

October 15, 201411 yr Hi Jess, nice to cyber meet you :) Congratulations on day 4 - what a wonderful achievement!!

Are you going to get a picture? A ticker? If you need any help, just shout! Welcome to the family :d
October 15, 201411 yr Hey Jess, happy NOPE. Cranky, it really does not last long. Completely normal and a bit individual, but it is a sure sign that you are defeating the addiction. Your body chemistry is up in the air with a lack of nicotine and Chantix, but it will all settle down soon enough. Congratulations on your quit so far, each day gets a tiny bit easier. Well done you!
