5th day
I'm o. My 5th day and I am struggling even though I'm using the patch. I feel weird out of sorts and dizzy. Any advice?
Hello and welcome Red12. Your feelings are pretty typical. It will pass in time. Your body is missing that jolt of nicotine which brought pleasure. Nicotine is the addiction, but you also need to accept the change psychologically. Quitting needn't be difficult if you truly embrace the concept of being a non-smoker. Too many people don't know how they will cope with the discomfort and the voids smoking leaves in our day. Replace the habit with a good habit. Deep breaths , a call, a game or exercise. Above all embrace the idea and stay positive. You won't regret it. Read and learn. I can Quit really does work. We quit. we know that you can too.
Red12, the first week is the hardest. You have made it to day 5 so keep going.. you’re almost there. Your body is changing a lot this week, but soon enough you’ll start to feel better.
Hi I was terribly dizzy and Im so happy you have made it to Day 5. Well done. I remember my Day 5 and reading a post about someone being on Day 231. I thought my god will I ever get there? Im here today so dont give up Positive affirmation everytime you think about a smoke tell yourself I dont Smoke. EVERYTIME - out loud if you can. It still works for me today and I dont have to say it much anymore.
All the dizziness, the headaches etc will go soon. Just relax. You got this xx
What Nuts said. It will pass gradually, now it's just your mind playing tricks on you. Believe it or not - the worst is over by now and if you made it this far there's no point of getting back to the start.
That’s a fantastic effort. Your head is just re-adjusting. It won’t be long now and you will start to feel better 😀
