Early cessation is not a comfortable state for most people. Nicotine withdrawal can cause a wide variety of symptoms, from agitation to lethargy. That said, this phase of smoking cessation is temporary. It WILL pass, as long as we don't smoke.
From About.com Smoking Cessation forum member Anna47fl:
"Having a little trouble tonight. Really wanting a cigarette. I quit two weeks ago, but relapsed last weekend. Boredom seems to be a big trigger. I've gone four days without a cigarette, and even went drinking last night and didn't smoke. Was feeling quite proud of myself. But, tonight I'm really wanting to go buy a pack. I won't. I'm posting instead. Talking to people who understand. It helps. Can't seem to think about anything except smoking right now. It'll pass. Thanks to whomever is listening."
