You need more time. I'm on 17 months now but it got better after 12 or so. I'm not sure if I will ever get use to being a non smoker? I think about it a lot but it does not really bother me like it use to in the beginning. I know that I will never pick one up again knowing what I've been through getting to this point.

31 year smoker and Ive quit for 5 weeks now. The first 2-3 seemed surprisingly easy. Only difference I had noticed was going from an extremely cold person to being extremely hot. Now I have troubles waking up all night and not being able to sleep. Im getting fatter by the day and feeling moodier by the day. I feel no real benefit. I actuallt sweat more and need to shower more often. My teeth arent any whiter despite using tooth whitening. I get tightness in my chest. This is the worst Ive felt in years. Its like other people. have stated: are the years supposedly gained in life worth a poor quality of life? glad to read these honest posts here. All you hear about are the lies of how much better you will feel.

I smoked for over 50 years of my life. I quit a year ago with the help of nicotine patches. During that year, I have gained over 50 pounds, had to buy all new clothes. My doctor says to eat fresh vegetables when I want to snack. This would be hard to do. I have no teeth and can't wear dentures. He then told me to exercise. This also is hard to do because I have diabetic peripheral neuropathy in my legs, feet, and ankles. I can barely walk with the help of a cane, let alone exercise. I told him about being short of breath all of the time, he said to get out and walk some of my fat off. I tend to doubt if quitting smoking was best for me. I have more problems than I did when I smoked
