Quit smoking day 1 :-)
Today is day one of quitting smoking. Already I can't sleep and I feel sorry for anyone in contact with me! I am soooo irritable and cranky, I work in customer service and I'm really having a hard time dealing with customers, they all seem to p*#@ me off even if just asking a simple question. I'm hanging on just hoping this will -pass soon. Everything and everyone is getting on my last nerve LOL.
I am 41 and have smoked for 25 years. I am looking forward to breathing easier, not smelling like an ash tray and ridding my body of constant respiratory infections etc... Glad this forum is here, Just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for letting me vent :-)

Yes, the coughing's normal.
Just you wait. You're going to feel so much better! Also, if you can get out and walk that'll bring you even more relief.
Sounds like you work with the public. Been there and it's challenging to put it nicely, lol. Have a great smoke-free weekend!!!

Kathyjo and Jade59,
Thank you both very much!
Yes I do also have Fibro :-( I really never even considered that not smoking would benefit me in that area, thanks!!! I will definitely pay attention to how I feel in that area as time goes on :-) Thanks for the info on whyquit, I'll check it out. Thinking I should have taken a vacation from work lol, either people just became more ignorant and rude, or it's just me...I'm putting my money on the latter!
I did notice that I am coughing more of a productive cough than usual, is that normal? Just my lungs trying to clear themselves?
Thanks again hope you both have a great weekend!

Hi, congratulations on day 1. Listen, I see you have Fibro, I do too and when I quit smoking all that pain decreased by a good percentage so consider that something to look forward to besides the obvious :)
Also, start yourself a tracker for your quit. Seeing the number of days add up will be a big psychological help. I found writing my thoughts in my journal was a big release too.
Good luck to you!! Anytime you need to vent, just post away.
