I made it past the 72 hour mark!!! Someone told me that was a milestone and things are easier after that. So far I'm experiencing dizzy spells, coughing, dry throat, mild headache and just being in a fog. I know this is normal and temporary but for how long will this last? Think I'll take a couple of Tylenol and a cough drop and go back to bed. STILL NOT SMOKING and I feel good about that, just wish I didn't feel like I'd smoked something else, haven't done that in years!!

Sorry I was whining, I hate that!!! I'm using the patch so I'm not nicotine free although I have cut it to less than half of what I was getting when I was smoking. Doctor said patch equals about 15 cigs, I was smoking 40-45 a day. The headache has eased off, nerves are alittle frayed but I'll do. Thanks for the encouragement [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/15/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 154 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $33 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 44

Auntie, Every quit is different but you can expect them to last for the first few weeks after quitting. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. Keep persevering, Danielle ______________________________ The SSC Support Team

Hang in there auntie! You're doing great. After 72 hours you have no nicotine left in your system. Things may be a bit tough over the next few days, you just have to be tougher. We are here if you need us. Keep the quit! Don't smoke!

Hi Auntie, Time tables don�t work with quitting, so we can�t really tell you when the withdrawal symptoms will get better. At 3 weeks I felt pretty much normal and could already see tremendous health benefits. By the time you have a week of freedom, you�ll probably notice that the fog is lifting a bit. I hated that feeling, but one of our members (Bogman) said he wished he could bottle it � LOL. It will definitely take awhile for your body to figure out what�s going on, but the beginning quit problems are well worth the great outcome. Hurray for you for a great 3 day quit! Not cravin', never cavin'.
