Those sound like great rewards!
 
Rest up, your body is healing right now and needs all the rest it can get.  Taking extra naps and sleeping more is ok.
 
It is also common for mood to change when you are quitting.  Remember this is temporary.  That is why it is so important to reward yourself, keep your mood up.  Be happy with what you are doing!  What an accomplishment to be smoke free for 8 days!  You will get through this!  How do you think you will feel after a month smoke free?

Sounds great Lance!
 
Congratulations on 8 days!  You are already through Hell Week! Already seeing results too!  It can only get better!  How are you or did you reward yourself for getting through Hell Week?

I'm noticing good changes! Anxiety is much better and in general I feel pretty good. So thats a good thing. I noticed on my short drive to the store last night that it was better than normal. So thats a positive thing. One day I should be driving everywhere. I hope. Still I have the fears of no job, missing my family and there is nothing to help with that like smoking gave some relief to. It's still not an easy thing. Noticing that working out is having positive changes, tho I have lost no weight, clothes are looser, so it must be working. I am at the point where the smell of smoking stinks, but once in a while I still want to smoke. Still tough.
