I can't stop crying

Hi vicky depression is one of the side effects if quiting try and hang in there as this could last up to 4 weeks

Thanks Stevo - this sucks!

Nothing out of the ordinary, I cried over nothing at all for the first two weeks. Waterproof mascara is a must. I still have days of emotions and tears and I'm at day 47. It will get better, slowly but surely.

Thanks for the thumbs up...

Hi Vicky,

Youre lucky if this didn't start on day 2 of quitting. Hang in there, it really is worth it. I quit 7 years ago - cold turkey - after many, many, many failed attempts. The first thing I noticed, after the overwhelming depression and hunger, was the increase in my disposable income. This gave me more independence and freedom in general.

I won't lie and say it gets easier - 7 years on and I still smoke in my dreams, but I feel so much better. I don't cough every morning, I don't lose my breath walking up stairs, I lost the weight - eventually. I did get there because I did this for me. Do this for YOU!

Hang in there. Cry if you want too xxxx

Hi there - what 's the first thing that springs to mind when something goes wrong, or there's an unexpected problem? I need a cigarette is my own reaction to anything stressful or that I need a few minutes to think through. When you stop smoking you say goodbye to your first best friend - the one thing/ friend you can rely on to let you complain or explain without interrupting you, or judging you, or telling you what to do without asking you what YOU think or feel. Of course you are going to cry. There are plenty of times every day I think I would kill for a cigarette. I still go out onto the back porch and sit at my smoker's desk - even without the actual cigarette it's a way to still give me 5 minutes of time out.
