I am glad i have found this site. I hope i will be able to find some one to talk to if needed. I had no idea that quiting would meke me so tired all of a sudden. Has this happened to any one else. Shannon

I have downloaded it all ready.

I know how you feel, I am sooooooooooooo tired and all I've been doing is sleeping, but I figured for now it's better than smoking. I started taking vitamins and changing the way I eat. In time my body will start to feel better, we just have to hang in there.

Shanon you will be tired hungry spaced out ~ the number of physical and emotional effects you cant count but slowly they will dissapear as your body gets stronger and is able to cope as a non smoker!!

Shannon, Tired, cranky, alert, here, there, energized. You may end up feeling just about every thing. I did. SLEEP is SOOOOOOOO important though. It is hard to fight cravings when you can't hold your head up. Good luck. Welcome End of Summer Quiter.

Shannon I did the same thing for the first few weeks. I would wake up and an hour later i felt like a zombie. I would go get in bed and sleep soundly for a couple more hours. And someone mentioned not being able to sleep.....well I had that too. Restless as all get out in the middle of the night. So hang in there....it is hard but it sure is gonna be worth it!

Shannon, I had the same thing, I was so tired I slept most of the first weeks. Not that I did mind.....I was happy about it, when you sleep you don't smoke....lol. Probably was my resque. After that I had no problems what so ever. No cravings, nothing. I felt good and still do. Nighty night....sleep tight.....lol.

Congrats on your decision to quit smoking. Knowledge is power, so get prepared. Get prepared for your mind to deal with emotions without the mask of a drug. Know that the nicotine in cigarettes has caused you to be physically addicted. Take comfort in knowing the physical withdrawal will stop approximately 72 hours if you can resist nicotine products. Be fully aware that your life routine will have to be experienced without smoking cigarettes for you to be quit. So throw them away. Do not save any. What is your routine? When do you smoke? Make a list of your triggers (when you would normally smoke). It is better to think about all of these things ahead of time so that you can go into battle prepared. Replace your bad habit (smoking) with good habits. Read about healthy ways to deal with stress/emotions and start practicing your new coping skills. Get yourself ready physically by walking more, take in more fluids, get plenty of rest and avoid becoming overtired. Tell people around you that you�re going to quit. Get yourself a Quit Buddy who will be there to provide you personal quit-smoking help and support. Fight the urge to protect yourself from looking silly if you don�t make it all the way. Believe in yourself from the very beginning. Make it come true. If you don�t make it this time, what matters is that you get back up and try again. Also, don�t forget to make rewards a part of your plan. Quitting takes a lot of work, so you want to make sure you give yourself credit along the way. Keep a list of rewards you look forward to - it will help keep you motivated. Watch out for alcohol, social situations, other smokers, weight gain, and bad moods/depression. These things can make you fall off the Quit Wagon. Like I�ve said � be prepared for these things. We�ve quit. You can too. We�ll be here to support you if you need us. I look forward to celebrating your milestones with you.

shannon, we are both going through hell week and we can do it girl! I read your other post in which you said that you lived with other smokers. that makes things much harder but you can do this. I would suggest staying away from these smokers for the first week or so and then after that just focus on how bad they smell!!!
