Well, I feel like I may be in over my head. I am 27 and have been smoking for about 12 years. Holy crap, in my mind, I haven't been smoking that long, but just reading that, "12 years." Wow. Well, I've been telling myself I need to quit smoking; it's not cheap, it's not healthy, and just another thing to worry about. My grandfather more or less died due to his smoking 2ish packs a day for over 50 years. You'd think watching him go through renal failure would have scared me at 18, but apparently not enough.
I made my last day of smoking the last day of last month, so it'd be easy to track how long I have been off the cigarettes. So this is day 10. I'm not sure I will make it through both of my journeys; I am still trying to lose at least 30 more lbs. It's like I have lost my mind. It's like since I quit smoking, all I have the urge to do is eat - and it's not just that, I feel hungry a lot too. My anxiety is higher, my moods are lower, my tolerance is lower. I'm less alert in the mornings as I have fibromyalgia, and my morning cigarette helped lift some of the fatigue and fog - and I can't do coffee as I can't have caffeine.
Anyone else been through this? Not sure what to do with myself. Everyone keeps telling me to get e-cigs, or chew gum... But surely there have to be more tricks than that. Help
