Stress and no sleep

Week one is done and dusted and I am so proud of myself. My hardest one to give up was the morning ciggie.

I am on day 7, and I found myself thinking...its ok to have just one today... kinda as a reward. Thankfully I havent had one, because of the web searches I have looked at, i know that there is no such thing as one smoke.

Its a hard day today... but my concentration is getting better. I can run a lot longer without the cramping and tightening of my muscles. I have a horrible sore throat, and the headaches are always here, but that could be from the lack of sleep. I have been having horrible nightmares too. I am extremely thirsty.

Its getting very hard to focus on the positive points of quitting today. But I know I can do this. I dont really hav much of a choice. In the past year, my health has fallen apart. I spend more time recovering from some illness than my in-laws.

I really want to stop smoking this time for good. I cant wait for the phyiscal symtoms to pass. I am not craving the smoke as much, i know that the cravings I have are all in my head. I just feel crap, and moody.

Good luck to all... the benefits of quitting should be starting soon...keep strong
