Hi People,
Yesterday was my two week anniversary of quitting. I'm really proud of myself but physically I don't feel that great. I don't feel like myself and I'm truly mourning the loss of cigarettes. I have been made aware of all the instances in which I smoked which was all the time. My sleep has gotten better but I wake up constantly during the night. I don't feel like doing anything. I love to shop but I don't even feel like shopping. I have two kids age 9 and 11. I try to stay upbeat for them but it's hard. I made an appointment at the doctor for next week, I was thinking of cancelling , because I might need more quit time under my belt to determine if I will feel better. I'm hopeing this feeling will pass. Will it????

I understand about the mourning part but I'm almost 3 weeks and I feel better than expected. I think if you try to think of it as doing something to better your life and the life of your kids maybe you'll feel differently.
My best bud quit a week ago because I quit and she said I was her inspiration so maybe that's why I feel good I've never inspired anyone before.
Now I just feel like what the @#$%&*** do I do with all my free time.

Hi there,
I'm also just 3 weeks into my quitting. I started working out from day 1. I was actually paranoid about weight gain, but it has had a dramatic impact on how I feel everyday too. It makes me feel healthier which inspires me to continue to quit.
My problem is when I go out. I'm 28, and a large portion of my social life revolves around bars when I see my friends. That's the time I miss it the most. I definitely mourn the loss of cigarettes. Basically, we all have to redefine ourselves as non-smokers.
