Where on earth did you hear that, Jonser? Sure, the seventh day is technically the end of hell week, but heaven? Not hardly!
Moody, depressed, the world hates you, you hate the world, is it all worth it, junkie thoughts, craves, ad nauseum. Jonser, you are right where you should be and that's a very good thing. Right now you've got all the nicotine out of your system but without it your body and brain chemistries are just totally whacked.
Here's a bit of truth for you to hang on to when you've got nothing else to grab: It does get better.
[b]WHEN!?!?!?!?[/b] you ask. "Soon" is all I can tell you. If my crystal ball worked, I'd own Bill Gates. :) I'll guess you've got maybe another week, tops, of easing out of this really bad time. Then you'll have your wits about you enough to actually notice things improving.
Have you been rewarding yourself, Jonser? If not, you really need to be doing that. Doing things nice for yourself, things that make you happy or feel good, are very important at your stage of the quit. They stimulate the areas of the brain that used to be stimulated by the nicotine. Not as strongly, but a bit. Enough to help the brain begin the healing process.
Hang in there, Jonser. I know it doesn't really feel like it right now, but one week quit is truly a fantastic accomplishment. Many never make it this far. Be proud, you're doing great.
