Congratulations on achieving so much already!

I am sorry to read things have been getting harder and you have been feeling down. Having a lowered mood is a normal withdrawal symptom unfortunately but with time you will start to feel better. Try to improve your mood by setting small productive goals, exercising, socializing and planning pleasant rewards for yourself. Also, be sure to read the forums - the members offer great advice like Timbo here.

How are you feeling today?

Hi Writer17,

Welcome to the stop smoking center, and congratulations on 2 weeks into your quit journey.

Depression is a part of the quit. Trust me, it will get better, just hang in there. The sleepless nights are also a part of the quit. Have you went through the program at the top of the page yet? It can help you with your quit, and give you some insight and tips for what lies ahead.

You have every right to be proud of your quit, YOU did it all on your own. Make sure you reward yourself for your efforts.

Your body has started the healing process and now you have to work on the mental challenges. There are going to be a lot of hurdles, but I think you can do it. You've already did one of the hardest parts...actually stopping smoking!

Stay strong you quitter!

Hi, I will am 13 days smoke free today. Never thought I could it and it isn't easy but I will continue because I want to be free of the smoke prison. I smoked for 40 years! From the age of 12. So sad that I have done that damage to my lungs for so long. But no more. I smoked rolling tobacco the last few years. Probably around 25 roll ups per day. Then around 6 months ago I cut it down to 8 with the help of e-cigs. I think they are good news and helped me prepare for stopping. Now I dont smoke the e cigs or anything. I want to be free of the habit altogether. I have a plastic nicotine inhaler which I mostly chew on. I am thinking about replacing that with a straw soon. Then nothing. Will see how it goes. I am very pleased with myself but finding that its getting harder not easier. I'm getting very little sleep and just keep crying. Feeling very sad and very raw. Hoping this will even out soon. Will keep on keeping on. I have to keep reminding my self that patience is a virtue. And that every day my skin, gums, lungs, heart, self esteem, concentration, bank balance are getting healthier. And that one day I wont be thinking about ciggarettes so much of the time.
