New here everyone - Smoking Cessation Message Board

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I stopped smoking 5 days ago. It has been really hard but I am determined that I am not going to go through this again. The withdrawl symptoms for me have been horrible but they are getting a little easier day by day. I am no Zyban which I guess is helping. Thanks in advance to all the advice I am sure you all will give. I have already read some other threads and have learned a lot.

Hi,
Congrats on the five days!!! Keep it up!! I'm somewhat in the same boat, I haven't had one in two days and want one so much it's ridiculous. We have to keep going.

yes we do. I was thinking that since we stopped around the same time that maybe we could also support each other. I don't really have any support here at my house so this is all I have. If you would like to do that I could give you my email address and you can email me if you are having problems that day or if I am .

I can completely relate to the withdrawl symptoms, and I haven't even quit for as long as 5 days yet. I'm using the patch which seems to help. Question- is it normal to have headaches and a major problem concentrating at work? About how long does this normally last?
