you know what..I am getting pissed about this shit. I am posting shit in July and I have a lot of questions about getting off this shit for good. I have had a lot of days where I was a nats ass from caving. I am yet to receive any kind of support here.
Do I need to donate some$ before someone tells me why the fuck I feel so jacked after being off the shit for 11 days?
Is everyone hiding or am I at the wrong forum or what?
I want to kill something right now. I want to smash a rock with my head. I'm feeling all fucked up from not chewing and hoped I would find someone who can relate here. Do anyone of you know or have felt this way?
You can post your question in any group you want. If you are not getting the support you need in your group don't let pride be your downfall. Go into an older group and ask questions. While we may not check the new groups every single day we would be more than happy to help. Just ask.

PS Chat is also a good tool to use in a pinch. Not always someone there but you will get instant help if someone is.

Welcome to the suck my man. Every single quitter experiences the suck to some degree. Some have it easy and they can suck balls as far as I'm concerned. I, on the other hand, had a miserable time with it. I spent a good part of the early days of my quit curled up in the fetal postion sucking my thumb calling for my mommy. But you know what, I made it. And so can you.

That time in my life is in the forefront of my memory and serves as a critical part of my quit. There is NOTHING that can make me go back to that. I don't have to, I am quit! You will never have to go through it again either, as long as you keep that shit out of your piehole! One day, one hour, one minute at a time. Whatever it takes.

Embrace the Suck!

Ditto. About day 11 I felt the same way and I read someone say on here that the reason you feel so sick and miserable is not because you quit using but because you started in the first place. They say take it one day at a time. For me when I was at Day 11 I was still taking it 10 mins at a time. Hang in there my friend. I'm now at day 30 and I can tell you it definitely gets better.

Thanks for the input everyone. Amazing how much control a pissed off brain has on your body.

Posting roll is your committment not to use tobacco that day. If you are looking for more support I highly reccomend jumping in the live quitters chat room. There is usually people in there and conversation flows a lot more freely than on the forums. If there is no one in there you should try and read over all the information again to remind yourself why you are quitting. And most importantly you should get some phone numbers and talk to someone.

I understand your frustration and the anger you feel. But you are making the right choice DAILY to stay tobacco free. It does get easier but it is something you have to work at everyday.

Just curious if any other quitters have encountered these symptoms:

heart pounding. Seems like since I have quit ( march 11 ) I can feel it, especially when I lay down.

easily winded. I went hiking near the rocky mountains two days ago and felt out of shape...which I am because i haven't been exercising much since summer.

Panic attacks. I've had them in the past, especially when under a lot of stress. And in addition to my commitment to quitting, I am also fighting through some financial troubles...not all bad...but much more stress than usual.

Mood swings. wow, talk about ups and downs.


---------------------
All that said, I have noticed that my intense laziness is subsiding. I've basically accomplished very little at work since quitting.  Today is really the first day where I've felt like I wasn't a slave to this addiction.
ATV,

It seems I remember the heart pounding thing...I guess when you're head's not buzzin' due to the nic you notice things more. I would say you just need to get into better shape....after the first 3 or 4 days quit, I had tons of energy and felt like it was much easier to breathe. Panic attacks? I guess I've really never had one like I've seen described by others. Except maybe when I took off on the job, forgot my 'lil can-o-death, and couldn't buy another until lunch. :wacko: Those days are gone, I am much healthier, and can hike up any hill without my heart pounding inside my head. Life gets better, hang tough, stay clean. Drink lots of water and get some exercise. I'm sure some others have something to say about the panic attacks and heart pounding, so I hope they'll chime in on the subject.

Take Care,
Quittin'Time
atv -

yep... been there, done that. my heart was pounding like it was going to pop right out of my chest for a couple of days during my quit.

panic attacks? you bet. chest pains, shortness of breath, etc. took myself to the ER TWICE during my quit cause i thought i was having a heart attack -- diagnosis? anxiety.

mood swings? fuck you. (oops, there's one there ;) ) in all honesty i had these too. my wife got her head bit off so many times i'm surprised that she's still with me.

you're on the right track -- hang in there!!!
