I don't know what to write here really. Today is day 7. The chest pains are not fun.
Welcome, Tex. Seven days is a heck of a lot longer then I ever got on my own. By being active here, finding your group and quitting each day, you'll soon be quit for eight days. They all add up. Hundreds of thousands of days quit are within these pages. 'Must be doing something right...

If the chest pains continue, it's probably best to take an aspirin and talk to a doctor. Especially if they come on or get worse with exercise. Might just be anxiety or the chemistry of your body normalizing but why chance it?

Nicotine is poison.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I went to the ER today. I passed all of their tests, said their is nothing wrong with my heart, they gave me meds for heartburn/acid reflux. If that doesn't work then I will have to do stress tests etc.

I have no nicotine/tobacco cravings. Really not enjoying the physical side effects of the quit though.
Every day gets a little better, Tx...It sucks for a bit. Lots of water and exercise help curb the physical effects while posting roll removes the self inflicted mind games. Go all in and this will be your last quit. Glad you're here.
Welcome to KillTheCan TxRed!
I can't say I've had the exactly the same withdrawal symptoms, mine was mainly anger and impatience. I do believe Copingwithoutcopen hit the nail on the head, drink plenty of water and get started exercising. None of these things will make Quitting easy. But they will help take the edge off. As I'm sure you're aware, you're going to feel miserable for a while. There's no shortcut around it. Hang tough! The freedom on the other side is so worth what you're going through now. You can do this!

Proud to Quit with you today TX!
Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.

TxRed... you should read Here's How You Quit, which will give you a quick into into how Kill The Can works.

Short version - get over to the July quit group and post roll for today. Posting roll is pretty simple - there's a video you can watch on Posting Roll on KTC Kill the Can. Posting roll is you promising fellow quitters that you will not use nicotine for the next 24 hours. Post roll, make your promise, and then all you have to do it keep your promise today. Tomorrow, you do the same thing over again.

Getting into a quit group is critical. You're obviously having some pretty strong physical reactions to your quit. I didn't, but with all the quitters and supporters in July, there's bound to be someone who has. When you connect with the members and supporters in your group, you're putting yourself in touch with a lot of experience - and a lot of different experiences - that can help you understand what you're going through.
Hello, I just posted in the group, thank you.

Welcome to the rest of your life, or at least the next 24 hours. Come to July 17  Click here) and post your promise not to use nicotine for the next 24 hours. One day at a time! It's that easy!!
FLOOR.. 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12...13..14..15..16..17..18..19

It is very simple! We quit for today! We wake up! Do it again tomorrow!! One day at a time!
We walk in each others quit shoes, it may be a little different but ultimately the same exact thing

"Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."
