Afternoon everyone..you all sound cheery today...bet your glad thats over Waspy...well done everyone on all the stages you are at.
Day 4 for me I'm ok though..it's the headaches getting me as I don't usually get headaches...coughed a bit of rubbish up this morning and have a itchy cough ..does that mean giving up smoking is doing me good?...LOL..
Am quite tired and lethargic as well...it will get better I guess...

Don't honestly know about the headaches, I'm the other way round, but the coughing is very encouraging as that's your lungs trying to sort themselves out already! You will feel more energetic soon, I read somewhere a long time ago that smoking gives you a lift then drags you down, so you need another lift and so on... your body is levvelling out.

Keep it up, I have occasions when I really,really need one but so far have not given in and these are now getting less and less.

Yeah, its just your body adjusting to life without its usual fix of toxins

Also read on here that apparently your immune system is affected a bit (short term) so more likely to get a cold (man flu) etc

Congratulations everyone! You're all so very positive and it's a joy to read about your feelings and how delighted you are at your achievements and so you should be!!:T

The nausea, horrible coughing up, sleeplessness and headaches (for some) are all so natural and will soon pass, as will the strange dreams. All part of our bodies getting back to normal (and as someone else said) getting rid of the toxins that the baccy gave us over the years.

Carole, don't worry about the cleaning fetish, I think that's a physic thing to clean the house of the smell and discolouring that ciggies has caused, though a lot of it is therapeutic, but all of them great reasons and keeps you away from the 'evils'!

Another day today everyone, I wish you the same as you wish yourselves the strength and that "oh...another day for me to be thrilled about!" feeling!!!

All the very best to EVERYONE and plenty of the 5 a day!

Sue.

Another day begins...DAY 5 for me....the cravings are few are far between at the moment so am really pleased with that.
I still feel quite unwell..today I have a sore throat ,headache and really achy bones...feel quite lethargic...
Everyone is doing so well and I'm really proud of you all.Lets have a good day ...us non smokers!!!
Take care xx
