Stopped smoking
I have not smoked for 5 days now and I don’t think I am craving nicotine I just feel very weepy
Hello Annielew. Every quit is different and some people miss their "friend" and go through a mourning process. You may be right in that you are not having nicotine cravings if you quit cold turkey 5 days ago or if you are on Champix. Champix is also nicotine free and so that stage would be over. Your excessive "weepiness" concerns me if on Champix though. In some people, Champix has had adverse affects and behavioural changes. See your doctor if you have concerns.
Hopefully others can offer more, if you were to give us more detail
Wishing you all the best in your quest for freedom.
Thank you ,yes I think I am grieving for a lost friend (smoking) I used it for company and instead of acting on my stresses I had a cigarette and I could cope ..now I am seeing my life as it is and it makes me cry.Not taking Champix.I hope this will settle

annielew its not easy missing something like the smokes, but if you go without them for long enough you wont miss them so much. We simply get used to not having them and we find other ways of coping.
I think its a mind game and if we care enough to the Quit, we can overcome any difficulties that we face.
Annie it’s a roller coaster of emotions including weeping but just keep going. You get new ones like irritablility ! Super fun! No not really I am attempting humour. Point is - it’s a rough ride and take one hour at a time. Soon that becomes one day. Then another.

Thank you for your reply @shamrock yes it’s a roller coaster I start to feel ok and the suddenly start crying again I am hoping this will pass.
Try to get busy when a wave of emotion comes over you.
Deep breath's help and dont think too far ahead.
Take it day by day and gradually you will feel better
Your already winning!
Hey Annie just checking in on your story to see how you are going ? Think you sort of track similar to me in quit times. Has your crying stopped ? Are you ok ?
