Mood swings

Smoking's not going to make it more fun. The moodiness will probably go away after the first 30-42 days. So it's temporary. Rest as much as you can.

Hi Lance,
 
Unfortunately, this is part of the quitting. With time these "blah" moments will occur less and less. You are still in the early stages of your quit which are the hardest, continue to be strong!
 
Doing a fun activity is one of the top ways to boost your mood quickly. Some "mood boosters" include:
  • Physical activity
  • Taking a nap
  • Eating a piece of chocolate
  • Daydreaming
You are almost done your second week, have you planned a reward for yourself?
 
Members, what are some of your favourite mood boosters?

I just posted a while ago on another forum and I was feeling good, happy etc. Now im blah again. Is this still part of quitting? Lonliness is still something I struggle with along with missing my kids. Im trying to get some reading done I need to do and Its hard to concentrate. Oh boy, now is the time when smoking sounds good. This is no fun.
