tired after quitting
Hi Jaimejo-
Congrats on quitting! I'm glad you're trying so hard. I quit on Nov. 29 and I was a 1 1/2 pack a day smoker. I only quit one other time- last Nov for 40 days. Your fatigue is perfectly normal. I slept all the time at first and then was generally just un-energetic for some time after I quit-probably about a month or so. I remember having to really force myself to get ready for a Christmas dinner party. It was so hard to get the energy to decorate the house and clean & cook- something I normally really enjoy. It did pass and I'm back to feeling energetic. I was sort of low-grade depressed & really tempermental, too. That passes, too. If there's such thing as "induction flu," believe me there's definately the "quit smoking flu". Hang in there & try out www.quitnet.com. LOads of friendly supportive people that are great inspiration.
