Giving up smoking!!!

giving up smoking is one of the most difficult things to do but well worth it in the end

Good luck with it, I gave up 8 years ago next month and feel so much better for it. Also, it is nice to walk into your home with it smelling nice and your clothes and hair not reeking of smoke too.

This is a normal side effect which should disappear again shortly, but is different for individuals. I had that too for about 3 weeks when I quit 8 nearly 8 years ago. I used to drink a cup of herbal tea before going to bed which seemed to help but it might have been coincidence. Keep it up though, whatever weird experiences you get, they will all be temporary as your body is de-toxing and you will feel the real benefits soon.

Probably all the chemicals leaving your brain and making you have really weird dreams

Not tooooo bad. Getting there ;-).

Maybe you should try nicotine gum or patches? Going cold turkey starves your brain of nicotine so thats why your brain craves it.

Yes, good luck to all who want to give up the weed. One statement has always stayed in my mind: NEVER GIVE UP GIVING UP, so don't beat yourself up if you give in to one or two ciggies, but try to get back on course again quickkly.
