G’day NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NoPE... yer try doing that on an I/phone

Welcome SOS, sorry about the relapse. As you may remember that first month is the hardest. Hang in there and I agree with martian to see your Dr if any symptoms are to troublesome, they can maybe put you on a temporary med for your anxiety if it's really bad. I was extremely tired for months but it does get better. Our chemicals in our bodies get all messed up for a while but usually level out in time. Congratulations on two weeks quit

Glad to have you aboard Sos77 and sad about your relapse. However, you do have 2 weeks into this quit and that is a very good thing. As to your symptoms you have to fight those and understand they will pass. What you can do in the meantime is go thru the various educational materials on this site. I had many of the same problems what helped me most was sleep when I was tired and I drank plenty of cold fluids ( water and also various juices which will help with your blood sugar. You can use Jillars's Air Cigarette ( a piece of drinking straw cut down to cigarette size), it helps fool the mind and does a pretty decent job. Walking or some form of exercise helps also. If you feel some of these symptoms are not manageable you can speak to your doctor but they do pass in time, the first 3-4 weeks can be tough in this way but it is doable. Again there are many resources on this site that can help. Others will be along also to give advice!!!

Thank all of you for your support over the years. The Quit Train site and the QSMB have really helped me keep this quit. I hope that others will realize that it`s never too late and quitting is within reach for anyone. Lot of special people here but anyone can quit if they really want it and have support when they need it. This place has loads of it. Again, thank all of you for the support.

Hi everyone. I was quit for over 2 years and relapsed 6 months ago :( but I’ve since been quit again for two weeks today but my symptoms are bad. I never got over my chronic SOB which makes me so mad at myself for starting again. I have horrible anxiety and depression, my legs ache badly, I’m tired and can’t seem to shake it. I have no cravings, I just want this all to go away any suggestions?

Welcome Sos77. Sorry to hear about your relapse but keep that lesson learned top of mind once you secure this new quit You should probably speak to a Dr. about the anxiety/depression issue. Are you on any meds for this before your quit? They might need to be altered. Same thing with the aching legs. Unless it's because you have been tensing up those leg muscles since you quit, you mat want to seek a medical opinion on that too. The tiredness is a pretty common early quit issue. Have you had your blood-sugar levels checked since quitting? Sometimes those can dip a bit when you first quit. Drinking fruit juice or sucking on a few hard candies might help. Listen to you body. There a lot of changes going on when you first quit. If you're tired, sleep more etc. Those things won't last all that long. Make yourself familiar with this site and read all you can. There's some "pinned" threads on the main Quit Smoking Discussion page and some also on the Introductions page. We have a daily NOPE page too where some pledge their Not One Puff Ever each day to set themselves up for that smoke free day - one day at a time. There's a Joel Spitzer video page as well which covers all topics related to nicotine addiction and quitting - very useful stuff. Lots to keep you busy and knowledge IS power so .... go fill yer boots with knowledge about nicotine addiction

Welcome to QuitTrain, SOS. I'm sorry to hear about your relapse. 2 weeks is a great start back, though. Smoking really brings nothing positive at all to your life, just negative. You will be so much better off putting that behind you for good. Stick close to this site. Read as much as you can and reach out whenever you need help. Education and support is what helped me quit for good and you can get both here.

NOPE!

Just got back from the pulmonologist and he said I don't have Fibrosis! Yippee!!!! I responded well to the z pack and after I get this blood pressure down you guys will be stuck with me for a while lol

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope! Nice to see all you lovely smoke-free people again.

I never really got into horror movies, but I never get tired of watching this...

Congratulations Garry! 3 years smoke free is excellent. Thanks for sticking around to help support others

Congratulations ...on your 3 years !!!

I'm not sure if I ever noticed the colour of my tongue after quitting, but I do remember coughing up crap from my lungs for a while afterwards. Kind of gross, but so gratifying at the same time. It is amazing the transformation our bodies go through.

NOPE...

NOPE. I can barely breathe as is (thanks allergies)

When you choose to quit smoking, I recommend taking a look at these resources. Will This Get Better When You May Really Need Resources Regarding Mental Health Issues In my Not So Humble Opinion, the most important thing about quitting smoking is coming to terms with the addiction. Once I coped to being an addict, the rest was logical. Addiction doesn't go away. It has changed our DNA. This is why NOPE and NTAP are essential in the maintenance of a successful quit. Do not doubt yourself, you are capable of maintaining a quit, you deserve a free life, don't you ?

Yes, I have suggestions, since you asked. My suggestion is to stop smoking, deal with your nicotine addiction and learn how to love yourself. In that order. We are here with all the support you need, well....online anyway. Quit smoking, the rest will follow. Love, Sazerac

Another nasty thought

Couldn't watch this guy ...scare,s the crap out of me ... What scares you ????

Great news ...you must be so relieved ...glad to hear your gonna stick around ...xx

NOPE

Nope!

NOPE! Happy Friday the 13th, everybody!

I've never groveled

Smoking is a very temporary release and will not fix what ails you. Hold on tightly to that quit Juan. Trust me when I say it's worth it.

Here's a video of my wife during her morning grooming routine. She does this after she bleaches her mustache.
