Yay! 4 weeks today and I’ve had dreadful insomnia last night and panic attacks this morning.
Life is so unfair sometimes :(
Trying to find my inner calm, but not succeeding :(

Hi Belinda,
I had bad insomnia as well - a restlessness. I started listening to some 8 hour sleep music on U Tube and it really helped me to relax. How long this lasts is different one from another but it will improve, in time. All these symptoms ate directly linked to our brain's healing from nicotine addiction. It takes time but it will happen.
Insomnia is a common side effect of quitting smoking. These 12 tips will help you weather this phase of smoking cessation more easily.

Hey girl,
How exciting, 4 weeks today! Maybe you were just so excited, you slept awful last night??
I’m one month today and you aren’t far behind. In fact, when you are one month, you will be almost be 5 weeks!
Remember, you are a not-smoker!
