KPopova Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Today has been a nightmare. I woke up with all the energy in the world and then I started to feel like the world was ending. I've been crying on and off all day for NO reason. The fact that I quit smoking 5 days ago may also have something to do it. I've lost all my material coping mechanisms and I'm freaking out a little bit. Also my teeth hurt. Though that may be from the crying. Is this common for this early in the detox phase?

KPopova Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks for the support! I feel a bit better now on Day 3 but I'm sure there's more unexpected "fun" headed my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdoit Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I start my W30 tomorrow! Today is day 7 of quitting smoking for me. I'm glad to see someone else here that will be facing the same challenges. We can do it!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaela Elmore Cogswell Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 good for you for making such big changes. Hang in there, it will get better. Check out this timeline from the blog about a week ago.... It sure helped me make sense of the first week.... so exhausted and sleepy for a few days and I then the "kill all things"... had a day like that too.... it helped to recognize it and just step away from the keyboard. http://whole9life.com/2013/01/whole30-timeline/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa@SwissPaleo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi, There is another member who is also a few days into quitting smoking (Tina44...I think), You guys should start a thread for quitters so you can support each other. Well done!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPopova Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks again for all the support you guys! I'm still hanging in there (day 7), and still not smoking, though my fiancee took up smoking again two days ago. I'm not going to let that drag me back to smoking. I can't start that crap again...I just can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
