Quit today, struggling

Hi! Its my Day 1 of quitting. Thanks for all the replies on this thread, its helpful... And good luck to all other newbie-quitters... Its been around 17 hours since my last smoke yesterday evening and I don't feel very good, haha. I would really appreciate some support.

Quit today, struggling

Thank you very much for your support, Tim, I really appreciate it! I'm pretty sure I've reached the 24 hour smoking-free time milestone already :) I can't recall the exact time I last smoked yesterday but it must be "it" by now!
 
 I felt kind of sick and lethargic for the most part of this day (been thinking almost non-stop about smoking for the first 3-4 hours of this day... reading all I can about quitting smoking kind of helped to get through that), but I've regained some positivity in the last couple of hours and am not so obsessed about wanting to smoke as before... A bit of working out helped...
 
I was not a heavy smoker, and had reduced the amount of cigarettes I smoked to around 9 per day in the last year or so. But I'd been smoking for about 17 years now. I've not attempted to quit for years...
 
Thanks for the tip about setting up my quit-meter :) I have one on an app on my phone too.
