Hi th quitter,
I'm in my 7th week too, and having a rough day because I must have a virus, very sore throat and ear for 4 days now. I just logged on because I'm so grumpy today and I ache everywhere. I'm not even having a craving, but I'm having urges to smoke just to retaliate, crazy eh? I'm also starving as I skipped breakfast and lunch which is making me crazy now. I was nuts to go to work today, and suffered for it, so there's that too. I booked tomorrow off though, just need my ear to stop hurting, so will go to see my Doctor tomorrow but I doubt it's bacterial, which means tolerating it some more. I still think of smoking throughout the day, but my cravings are minimum. I'm just having a horrible day and want to puff and puff and fume my anger. That won't make me better, though. I went to pick up some advil and bought another pack of Nicarette Gum and Step 2 Patches, but I'll wait to reduce until I'm over all of these irritating things today. I'm going nuts to sabotage it, first time I've been moody since I quit, so "Yes!" to what Marianne said - it's stress for me today.
