8 days in

Hey guys....today marks 8 days without a cigarette. Feeling very proud of myself. Im actually finding resisting the cravings to smoke relatively easy.
What I am struggling with though is just feeling so crappy. At the 6 day mark I started getting aches and pains in my whole body, tired, lethargic....almost like im getting the full on flu. Has anyone else experienced this? And how long did it last?

Hi msh91. I felt great after I quit, but lots have issues. I am sure it will pass. I just wanted to say welcome . Keep it up, you will prevail.

Oh, I had to put up with discomfort for a few minutes several times everyday and waves of accomplishment in my early days (weeks actually). Sorry!
No Pain no gain for awhile.
Carry on with it because once your through it you will not regret it,
wishing you healing quicker than most.

msh91 Well done for 8 days, your mind is in the right place so keep it there, eventually your body will even out, rest whenever you can, and keep on feeling proud of yourself.
