Still have dizzyness, tiredness and weak legs, but I put this down to oxygene levels. I also still have the anxiety, although not so bad today, and concentration is difficult, but I seem to be getting better. I hope I can maintain the progress, it seems very slow. I dont know what I would have done without this forum. I dont want to take any drugs as I dont handle them well, but I am still having the occassional gum.

Hi Matty- I think it's amazing- the effects of this addiction. Only just now am I starting to feel unclouded. And the constant craves are just starting to subside. No wonder it's such a tough addiction to break and it is apparently quite different for each of us. Some seem to drop it with little effort, or so it seems. Anyway- we're doing it. Good job!

Hey Matty ! Good for you.. your attitude is just great.. and it does make a difference. 3 weeks is MAJOR progress. Your body obviously does not like the nicotene and is showing you how much !! Hang in there because it will get better. Try to NOT think about smoking.. even to the extent of ignoring it.. this helped me to start getting further away from cravings. Get as busy as possible... You are going great.. keep it up.. you are well on your way to the big hump.. 30 days ! Pamper yourself as you need to.. stay strong. Hang Tuff !

Matty, Each smoker has different withdrawal symptoms and yours will be unique. Although they may be unpleasant, they do pass. When you experience withdrawal symptoms, remind yourself that each symptom is a sign of recovery - your body is in the process of healing itself. Think of withdrawal symptoms as growing pains. If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should immediately consult a doctor. It�s possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable.
