the first week

I have been through the worst first 4 days and I'm agitated I feel like I can't sit still as its to hot I can't sleep and all I want to do is eat I feel like the way I've been acting that everyone is watching my behaviour and thinking the worst of me cause I haven't told anyone I quit cause last time I quit I started again and all of them won't support me they all act like I'm a failure when all I need is there support

Hi,
I am in the throws of my first attempt at quitting and I haven't told anyone either, apart from my closest friend, who I know will not judge me. I joined here probably for the same reasons as you, to be able to vent & talk to other people going through the same thing. You are not a failure, it is one of the hardest habits to kick. I am on Champix, how are you doing it?

Day Four is horrible - I actually don't think in all of the last fourteen weeks there was a day that was more confronting. That was the day that I could not deal with. Whilst there have been plenty of hard days since, I do think that is the day that I remember throwing me the most.
Don't give in - it really does get easier and you will be so pleased with your achievement. Keep on being determined.

That is your inner brat trying to get back in control. Use the 4 D's, delay , drink water. I used a bit of Orange juice in the water. I am day 49 and vividly remember that first week. It was HELL! But you can do it. I drink water through a straw, and have a bunch of raw vegetables cut up so I can get some mouth action. Good luck and hang in there!
