Great post indeed - the body and mind are remarkable - restlessness does occur at times for everyone whether they smoke now ever did or never have at all. I certainly fell more fulfilled then I used to. In the past if I was bored, I would smoke, if I was hungry and had to wait to eat, I would smoke, If I got angry or anxious or nervous I would smoke, If I was celebrating with friends, I would smoke - hell I smoked when I woke up in the middle of the night because I thought it was the only way I would fall back to sleep. I still feel restless quite often but now that I look at back I have always been restless even before I smoked - the only difference is now I am finding a newer and better way to fill my voids and occupy my "restless times" During the day I run and exercise or do things with the kids when I have them, I clean my house and finish my own to do list, I listen to music to clear my mind, I have smaller more frequent healthier meals and snacks etc.. at night if I wake up as I always do - I have a glass of milk or water, sometimes I just do some pull-ups and push-ups - I have found those things help me get past the restlessness even better then a cigarette used to. I feel better now then I did for 2 decades and it has only been a little over 6 months since I became a non-smoker -I can't wait to see how I feel in 6 more.
