Becoming a non-smoker can be a very isolated and lonely voyage if you let it be. The good thing is that it doesn’t have to be. Not when there is support available. This is one of the keys to success - whether you find your support via a local group, through your family or friends (be cautious here), or finding it online, it is crucial to your success.
Feelings of fatigue, irritibility and an extremely persistent headache are all side effects of nicotine withdrawal and are all perfectly normal. Why? Simply because it is in the first 72 hours which nicotine purges itself from your system - regardless of the smoking cessation method you have chosen to use.
If you have reached the point that you are desperately looking for help to quit smoking, the simplest advice would be to just quit. However, things are not as simple as that. It is easier said than done. And, this advice can come only from non-smokers or who have never successfully quit themselves.
