aekvall, You're at day 5, these feelings are normal and will pass...your body is trying to rid itself of all the poisons you used to injest, but it WILL pass! Just try to remember your reasons for quitting in the first place, and use some coping mechanisms...drink water, deep breathing, chew gum/candy/straws, cry, scream, rant, post JUST DON'T SMOKE! Most of us here have been through what you're going through, and it does get better! I promise.

aekvall, This is normal and you can't just sit around and let it get to you :) Put those coping mechanisms into place and try avoidance and distraction. Whatever works do it! Take time to plan ahead to reach a goal. Once you get there have a reward just for you in place! You can do this! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
