Starting Day 3

So it's been a rough 2 days, and I am starting my 3rd day nicotine free. I feel good for the most part but I can honestly feel my body trying to do anything it can to get what it wants. I have been super tired in the mornings, and any little pain or feeling sends me into a small panic. I feel like I am living minute to minute these last 3 days, and I have never had to think like this before. Hopefully these are all normal symptoms that will soon go away.

Sincere congratulations on reaching day 3 of being nicotine free.
Your brain will play tricks on you, it is desperate to get it's fix.

I am Day 9 and have been lucky to have very few cravings for a smoke but the first day was my worst until the patches kicked in.I still go to reach out for a cigarette after meals and coffee. and when having a coffee.I have appreciated the comments and hints here.Its a struggle and I'm prepared to try my best.Good luck all going through this.

Congratulations!!! I used to get support here, it is always encouraging to see you are not alone, it is possible, deep breath, check out the effects of not smoking ( http://whyquit.com/whyquit/A_Benefits_Time_Table.html ) is always helpful to look at.
