Day 7 of no smoking.

[Jam lady]

Today is day 7 of not smoking cigarettes just using the vapour cigarette.
The first day was hard really hard. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th day were great. Other then the lack of sleep.
But days 5-now not so great. I am sick with smokers flu. I can't see how someone who has had this can pick up smoking again. I just want to find a dark corner and die. Told my husband if you ever see me pick up another smoke after this you are while within your right to smack me.
This is horrible. This is triggering my arthritis so that's in full swing to boot on top of feeling like crap.
I know this will pass but man this sucks. My body is definitely getting its pay back.

Welcome to ECF!

Hit that vape pen and get the nicotine. It is what you brain is currently in need of.

Welcome. Sounds like you chose to go Cold Turkey. I'm very glad I tapered off over a few weeks. Zero issues.

After a few days of quitting smoking your body says hay you're not killing me I'm going to start repairing myself It draws on a lot of vitamins from your body to repair, I took multi-vitamins for a first couple weeks and upped my vitamin C intake quite a bit, it helped quite a bit but its not a complete solution, it will get a lot better over the next week or two.

I tapered off over a week, you need to hit that pen and get nicotine in your system. I had a real nasty cough for four or five days that made my ribs very sore but I realized it was my body kicking the crap out from smoking.

Stick at it, it will be worth it in the end.

whenever the craving or thoughts hit...take a vape or two.
It will calm you down...

Well done! Hang in there-- I promise it gets better-- and drink a lot of water. A lot of water.

 

[disallowedword]

Good deal, stick with it you wont regret it! Drink plenty of water, warm baths might help too.

Congrats on 7 days! Sorry you're feeling so poorly though. We cut down cigs drastically (2 a day) and then got sick...go figure.

Hang in there, I hope you are feeling better soon!

 

[andybandy]

You can do it.

Don't be too hard on yourself if you should happen to have a cigarette though.

Just keep vaping.

Hey I'm sure you've got this! Stay strong and persevere alright

 

[CleoPhoenix]

Hang in there fam! Like others mentioned, plenty of water and vaping when your mind screams for a cig will aid you. The nicotine will kill off the urge. I'm sorry you feel so crappy, but once you're on the other side, you're golden.

And Day 8 is better than Day 7 was.

I'm on day 4 and am starting to get a nasty cough in the morning...I know it'll get better but it sucks in the short term.

I still have cigarettes here but I will not touch them. The smell alone makes me sick.

Yep, it will pass. As a smoker, I used to get frequent head colds which would spread to my lungs and cause congestion and endless coughing. I started vaping over three years ago and haven't even had as much as a single cold. May have something to do with the anti-microbial properties of PG. A lot of other people have reported similar benefits on this forum.

Today is much much better. Thankfully. Today I was able to get out of bed and do a few things with feeling like death.
Today I started whiting my teeth and painted my nails( lol never do that) took a day for me to look human again lol. Color is coming back to my skin and I can eat today. Looking forward
