i said i was good...oops..... ive been really exhaused lately and feeling very strange,is it from not smoking? i dont feel good...just like weird and last night my chest felt heavy.

YAY, Gina! Way to go! I'm so proud of you! You could have smoked that whole pack and you didn't! That takes a lot of will power, and you did it!

I've never been a smoker, but I would be willing to bet almost anything that the symptoms you are describing are from not smoking. You are most likely having withdrawals. If you stop anything you are addicted to, be it alcohol, smoking, drugs, caffine, anything, you are going to have some withdrawal symptoms. Don't freak out. As hard as it may be, just let them pass.

You freaking out last night and your chest being heavy was probably an anxiety attack. This happened to my very best friend in the whole world when she stopped smoking. She said that this anxiety attack made her never want to smoke again! She has been smoke-free now for 6 months! I know you can do it, too!!

Has it been 3 whole days now? They say that the third day is always the hardest. Just think...you are OVER the hardest part! The rest will just get easier.

Now, the question is, what did you do with that pack of ciggies after you just smoked 1?!

You really are a role model for everyone here that is trying to quit. I really look up to you!
