Thank you everyone for encouraging me once again on my last post. I really need it.
Still having the horrible headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I have made a dr. appointment, but it isn't until next week, the 11th. I guess this is the consequences I have to suffer for choosing to smoke for all those years.
Yes, I have been feeling so awful, I even considered smoking just to get rid of the physical pain, but I didn't give in. It is 7 weeks 5 days today that I have quit. I just want to finally feel good and know that my efforts and all this pain is not for nothing. I have had to stop chewing the nic gum because it makes the headaches, dizziness, and nausea worse. I will keep it on hand just in case I really need it. Had a really bad day again yesterday. Sweating like crazy. Must be withdrawal from the nic gum too now.
Keeping busy isn't so much of a problem for me, I have plenty of things to do, and little by little I am getting them done, I am doing everything so slow, it seems. However, at this rate, I'm going to have to live forever in order to complete everything on my list. You know, for me, when I was smoking, I didn't think I was that far behind on my tasks, but I guess that's the lie I told myself while I was wasting all that time smoking instead of completing my tasks. Smoking makes us lie to ourselves I think.
Take care everyone, and keep on pressing on. We will all reach our goals of quitting smoking if we just don't give in, and be persistent, no matter how long it takes us to reach them. As another poster put it, we just have to "Be more stubborn than this addiction."
