Hey Jimmy,
Hang in there. Day 1 & 2 are tough and so it day 3 & 4. I am finding much relief and more myself at Day 5. I actually can go a little while forgetting about cigarettes all together. Every time hopefully last night is the only time you throw up think of the poison leaving your body. Water is a great idea. That will clean you out quicker too. That is a Great idea by the way, I think I may become addicted to bottled water.

Hello there Jimmy the mick
You are taking action to not smoking that is great.
You know I used to hate drinking water, now I drink about 1 gallon a day.
That is my new addiction, it keeps may hands busy, it fills my tummy, and it works for me.
You may want to try it.
Hang in there, it does get easier

13. And to think that you are just at the beginnin of the teenage years. Right now protecting your quit is the most important thing. Ao a walk around the block worked yesterday - fantastic. When you're stronger in your quit you can address family communication issues. You were good to recognize that the trigger was not an excuse to smoke. 3 days look great on you. Keep 'em com'n!

You're having withdrawals as the poison leaves your body. Isn't that a pleasant thought. Just think what it has been doing to you all those years. Drink lots of water. Pamper yourself. Don't feel as though you have to do or respond to anything. Your quit is the most important thing right now and it is a big deal. Just lay low and be comforted in the knowledge that it's all going in the right direction and every minute w/o something cancerous in your mouth is a smoke-free minute. They add up.

Hi Jimmy - Glad you are surviving.....the good part is that there are better days ahead. Although I wasn't nauseous, my anxiety level was at an all time high for the first few weeks. That also seemed to improve with time.
All the best...Please take care of yourself and stay away from the front lawn.

Hang in there Jimmy. Nicotine withdrawal, as well as carbon monoxide withdrawal can do crazy things to your body. You should start to feel better in a couple of days. Try drinking lots of water. Wishing you all the best with your quit. Keep posting!!!
Cheers,
Jan

Hi Jimmy I have been reading some of your posts, I am impressed with your motivation. Glad to see that the nauseau has stopped and the lawn is safe for now. Glad that you took that walk to keep the mind clear and settle the soul. You have motivated me not to smoke today.
I will not smoke today either!

Hi Jimmy,
I felt nauseous quite a bit the first week after quitting. Its your body getting rid of all those chemicals we put in as smokers and trust me there are a lot! Keep drinking lots of water and eating healthy snacks. Maybe a little at a time right now may help you to keep it down. And yeah, the shakes aren't fun to get through either. Keeping your blood sugar stable will help, as smokers we used to get a burst of sugar to our blood stream everytime we lit up and now you aren't getting that as much. So again having a healthy snack and preferably something with a little protein should help you get through that. Don't wait to long or it might end up on the front lawn again!
