Probably best to stay away from the sticks & chicks game though, until you're feeling a little better?

OMG!! Raining Chicks. Normally, that would be a good thing -11

Get as much sleep as you can & be sure to keep hydrated. Even though you may not be feeling like eating, get some kind of nourishment in you because you'll need that to start feeling better. Unfortunately, these are the dues we all have to pay for mistreating our bodies for so long. Just one thing you can't do now and you know what that is

Quitter's flu, they call it. Yeah - it sucks and maybe you just need to veg out a little until you can summons some energy again. You are in the thick of it now so I guess the best news is, it won't get worse and it will not last forever. As crappy as it feels, embrace it and be sure to remember how crappy you feel because once you are past it, you certainly don't want to return there .... ever. You can get past this T2B! We have all been there. Just grit your teeth and stand by your original commitment to yourself to remain quit. The only thing that is int in play is smoking again. That just is no longer an option.

Agree - great post JB! It always boils down to choices we make in life and it's no different with smoking. That is after all how we learn and mature as we age though. Making choices then dealing with the consequences of those choices. No different with this smoking thing. That's why I think all of us here deserve a pat on the back for learning that for what ever reason or reasons, we are better off quit than to continue on as smokers. Good for us because we are making the right choice!

I applaud anyone who is doing all they can to stop feeding their smoking addiction. Whether it be their first attempt or not. We can not just walk away and not try because it may not last forever and we could relapse even years later. People make choices every day. Why people can still go back to smoking even after years quit is because they are still addicts as we all are. This can happen to any one of us but, it will only happen based on the choices we make going forward. I would venture to say, there is no one who has relapsed after a long period of time quit who would not say they are happy about relapsing. Sometimes the lessons we learn about this addiction are hard lessons and sometimes, those hard lessons are the best lessons because we never forget them.
