Getting worried that it has been TOO easy so far...


18 years ago 0 772 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Shannon I find the first 3 days fairly easy, by end day 3 I am going up the wall. I always thought that the reason for that, is that it takes 3 days for nicotine to leave your body, which is why it is only at the end of day 3 that my body starts schreeching out for it. I dont know if anyone else has experienced the same?

At 10 pm it will be 36 hours. The first day stunk, day 2 was so much easier, and today it was like I never smoked at all. I'm still coughing a little and am a tad more tired than normal...but I think I'm just overanalyzing and freaking out that one of these days it's all going to hit me at once. Is this somewhat normal? I mean, I'm certainly not complaining BELIEVE ME...I just hope I'm prepared for if it gets bad!

Thank you everyone...I'm a day further and still doing ok. I just keep thinking about my lil Benjamin Elijah growing inside me and the benefits he has already reaped. Maybe that's why it's been easier this time? Whatever the reason, I am thankful! And I am thankful for you guys too. The last time I quit it was for 2 years...what on EARTH made me start again?!?!?! :quest: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 85 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $14.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 28

Hi, Shannon. It's not unusual for people to go through the first few days easily. It does seem to take some folks' bodies a bit longer to figure out the nicotine is missing. If it does get bad, focus on these things: [b]It is temporary. It will pass. You are [u]not[/u] dying (regardless of how it may feel :8o:). Smoking will not fix it, but only make it last longer.[/b] Congratulations on almost 36 hours smoke-free, Shannon. That is awesome. :) Keep up the good quit.
