Day 10 for you isn't it? You seem a little surprised to feel ... normal today? Were you expecting not to feel normal?

I'm feeling extremely tired today, but as far as the need to have a cig not bad.

My fingers still feel so empty
But I feel normal, I'm just erm not as relaxed as when I smoked.
You're right it is day 10

Adzha

How long will the empty feeling in my fingers last?
Well done to everyone

Adzha I know what you mean! When you begin to think about it and can't think of anything else it becomes very difficult. Hang on in there.;)

Theres something now which makes me not be able to stomach a cigarette

Evening all
Glad to hear you're all doing so well! Must admit my waistline has increased considerably - which I could do without:p !! I'm refusing to buy new (larger) clothes just squeezing into my old ones :rotfl: as an incentive to shift the weight! Whats really annoying is that I haven't increased my eating by that much (honest!) I definately believe cigarettes increased my motabilsm (sp) hopefully it will speed up again soon!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
Take care all - keep breathing deep and smelling the lovely fresh air!!
love and hugs

TNG

I've gone up a couple of trouser sizes

I'm not too concerned about it TBH - I reckon this is my 'proper' weight now, that was masked by the appetite suppressant that is smoking. A bit of exercise will sort me out. Probably

Basically - a few extra pounds is WAY more preferable than the alternative

My dh smokes in front of me now, (I told him I didn't mind and its only ever outside never in the house) and a couple of times I've been tempted to ask for a "drag", but haven't (!) sometimes I find myself looking longingly ... can someone please explain why I would still desire :

1. something I'm no longer addicted too
2. Something I know was killing me
3. something that is totally unattractive, smelly etc
4. something that was costing me a fortune (approx £25,000 to date!:eek: :eek: )

I am not planning to give up my quit, but it bugs and puzzles me why I can't simply "HATE" smoking and cigarettes .... although I suppose if I could find that answer I could patent it and make myself a fortune - lol :rotfl: :rotfl: !!

I have to say this forum was definately my saving grace and without it I don't think I would have done it :A :A !! Anyone contemplating quitting go for it, you've nothing to loose and though it may be tough (it may not!!) and it well definately be worth it!!

love and hugs all
