Hi all,
Just been reading all the posts. I know I am the quiet one around here thats because I have never been a big talker. I leave that to my husband.
I am doing great on my quit, just a slight crave most of the time but nothing bad. But I haven't had any energy. Before when I quit I would be cleaning anything I could get my hands on. Always moving doing something. This time I have just been sitting around do normal housework. Go to work come home and sit on my A--. Where did my energy go?
Does or has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks everyone, I didn't know if it was normal to get lazy or it was just me. I have been craving today but haven't caved. No not even one. Never again.

jnine,
sure have ...the problem of sitting around not wanting to do anything...but you know what...right now I don't care....
my quit is more important...
I know that my cleaning will hit me soon enough...and I don't intend to have a cigarette hanging out my mouth when I finally get around to doing it.
So right now I'm practicing using the extra time (that would have gone up in smoke) as liesure...which I have never let myself have...
Just call it...my reward time LOL

I felt that way. I think some of it has to do with the nicotine leaving your system, I read somewhere that it can take a while for some people. In conjunction with that some blue feelings are not to be unexpected. Give yourself time. Pamper yourself. Don't feel that you have to initiate or respond to anything. This quitting is a big thing both physically and emotionally. This will pass. Post often.
p.s. like ex-slave, i lounged around a read a couple of books during this time in the evenings and weekends.

Jnine,
This not an uncommon symptom among quitters. Just as it has been said, nicotine is a stimulant, it boosted your metabolism and subsequent energy.
If you're tired, take naps. You're body will readjust itself in time.

Distractions are a great way to forget about the sticks. Deep breathing is very relaxing and great for your well being. You are at a time where it can still be very tough. Hang on and it will get better - I know, I know - but it's SO worth it. Okay???? No smoking buddy. You will WIN the war against ole nic. You're a winner and he's a loser. Let us know how you're feeling, and it will help you to "talk" things over with us ! You're doing terrific BTW.

Hi jnine -
Remember that smoking is a stimulant. Quitting is such a life changing experience - well, in so many ways.
Do you feel you're actually more relaxed now? Pay attention to see if it's a lack of energy or a calming - rather than feeling buzzed or stimulated all the time...
Blessings - you're doing beautifully!

jnine...
You are still very early in your quit. Relax. We smoked for many, many years and our bodies just don't adjust very quickly. After a while you will adjust to some new form of "normal". Until then just take each day in stride. I spent a lot of my early days just kind of hanging out and I'm a very active person. You aren't alone and being bummed out was part of the quit process for many of us. Hang in there!
