When does it get easier?

I'm coming up on a month of not smoking, I accidentally quit. Something had happened medically that made me stay away from a cigarettes for a few days, a few days then turned into a few weeks. And here we are, almost a month later. Man, do I want a cigarette. I see people smoking in their cars, on tv, and I just want one so bad. But I won't pick up a cigarette because of what quitting has done to me. Right now, quitting smoking was a terrible choice. I have a face that gets red all the time; rashy & itchy. My allergies are so bad that I have to go for allergy testing next week, I tried to drink a beer the other night and I couldn't even get more than 3 sips sow without getting a headache and nauseous. I have no energy, I'm exhausted, my eyes are so dry I can barely stand my contacts. So most of my weekends consists of me laying down on the couch, watching tv because I don't even have the energy to go out, nevermind get to enjoy a drink with my friends. The doctors say I'm having a very tough time with quitting, it's not agreeing with me. This doesn't include the allergic reactions that I had to the albuterol inhaler, the e-vapor that I was so excited to use and spent money on. Can't use that. I feel like I'm in prison. I felt better when I smoked a pack every 5 days. Has anyone else experienced any of this?? I'm so tired of feeling like crap
