Just to re-iterate, Counsellor, there are NO stupid questions. This is an addiction and the anxiety of stopping smoking will naturally raise your stress and anxiety levels right up to the coping max. You're feeling tired and even confused from moment to moment when you're in withdrawal.. This will NOT last.., after the first 3-4 days the nicotine will have left your body and the battle becomes a psychological one rather than a physical dependence one... You know all this but i just want to reassure you that you are doing fine in your quit and you're doing exactly the right thing in staying close to the site!

Gobs,

Normal! Your body is healing and needs a chance or two to rest. Use some of the ideas the members provided and do take some extra sleep time if you can. Your body has gone through a lot.

I slept a lot for the first two weeks of my quit. Maybe for escape or maybe because my body and mind needed it. Either way, I needed it and it helped. Whatever helps you with your quit, do it.

that is a great question ! and yes , i experienced that also.

when i was first into this quit thing i would get kind of sleepy in the middle of the day , and much earlier than before at night.

solution ? a huge glass of really cold ice water and maybe a healthy snack. i liked cold raw carrots with a little salt on them.

don't you ever be afraid of asking any question.

after all , you're an attorney , you're supposed to ask dumb questions. just kiddin' , we've gotta have fun through this thing.

Is it normal to be tired and exhausted? I'm sitting at my desk just wanting to fall asleep. I'm normally extremely energetic, hyper, some people would call me but now, today, and last night, I just feel like taking a nap. I feel like I'm asking stupid questions but I'm gonna keep doing it unless you guys tell me to stop. Lisa
