Hi everyone
i can do this i have got to 35 days, over a month in to my quit,i thought i would not have the will power to do this but i have.It has not been easy i had 2 bad weeks of crying and feeling my world had ended even went to doctors to have check over as i thought something was seriously wrong with me.I know it was and still is my body healing and all that i was feeling was withdrawal symptoms.Some days i havnt had any craveings at all but some days i have such strong craveings i have to realy fight the demon away and i tell it you are not going to beat me as i have got this far and no way am i going through the early withdraw symptoms again.
My month reward for getting this far was a day planned out with family and friends we went to a place called the new forest which is a large forest where horses roam free,the sun was shining and hot a lovely summers day we had a lovely picnic and fun running around playing football , rounders, throwing a frizbee and the best bit was i didnt have to keep stopping to light that dreadfull weed and i had so much more energy and was able to keep running and keep up with everyone else.
I just wanted to share this with everyone as i feel so happy,i know im still going to get bad days from time to time and i will keep working through them. well done to everyone in there quit and thankyou for reading my post :)

hi beaglelvr,
i had exactly the same thing happen to me i was over breathing taking in deep breaths all the time,the more i done it the more i thought i could not breath and when i thought i could not breath i panicked which resulted in a panic attack,fear, light headed ,dizzy nausa ect you will know the symptoms if you have had panic attacks.
I would go to your doctors for check up to put your mind at rest i did and had a full medical and thank god nothing was wrong apart from my over breathing, it settled me down going to the doctors i have had to learn breathing exercises and learn to relax more,sometimes i still do over breath and when i know im doing this i go and do something to keep my mind occupied as i find keeping busy helps me to forget that im over breathing and im finding as each day goes by im over breathing less.I hope post helps you :)

Hi Tutti,
thanks for your post it was realy helpfull my doctor gave me the same breathing exercises. I was doing the breathing all wrong i was inhaling deep but not letting the air out.I am slowly learning to do them but sometimes i do get in a flap and my breathing goes all wrong but i will keep working at it.i am also about to take up yoga which i think will help with the breathing once again thanks tutti :)
Laura keep posting and let us know how your getting on :)
