Is this type of thing normal as your body cleans out years of harmful chemicals. Anyone who has stopped smoking experianced this???? I have a DR appointment for the AM, just curious I guess...
Dude, 10 days is a HUGE deal. Studies have proven that after 3 days or so, the nicotine has completely left your system and the addiction goes from predominantly physical, to mostly, if not all psychological.
I have nothing useful to add to your question, except for a MUCH deserved congrats to you! I am trying to quit again after stupidly going back to it (after 8 years of not smoking!) and cannot get passed the dreaded 3 day mark. Okay, I'm not really trying per say, but I've been seriously planning on quitting. Okay, okay fine, I've been
thinking about what it would be like to quit again.
