Well not surprisingly, today has sucked so far. After the first seven hours I started to feel a little confused, anxious, and almost sort of high (in a bad way). Chewed a ton of gum today. Had a few moments of desperation mixing in, but all in all I'm doing ok.
First few days are rough, but it gets easier with each day. Best thing you can do is find something to distract your mind. Chew some gum, go for a walk, do some push ups, whatever it takes. Come on here and yell at us; we can handle it. This is the best forum for venting and we know what you're going through.
Nobody said this would be all sunshine and rainbows man.
Freedom earned tastes way better than freedom given. There are times when you will fight harder than you have at anything else in your life, but there will be easy times too. Cherish the good. Plan for the bad. React during the moment.
Drink water. TONS OF WATER. If you're walking past a bathroom without ducking in, drink more. Limit your caffeine as you'll be jumpy enough as it is. Exercise. All of this pushes the poisons from your body. ONce you are clear of nicotine, you can start healing. Once you start healing, your quit becomes more manageable.
Brace yourself. Post roll every morning, and make some friends around here. This place saved my life, and it continues to save my life. Help when you can, and take help and advice graciously. We're all going for the same goal. Individually, we don't have the answers to quit. Collectively, we do.
Keep it up man. I'm watching.
