I threw up two challenges in my last two posts and its been only two days into the current quit, so it is not fair to pass judgement, but I dare say I was expecting more participation - ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I WAS CALLING OUT FOR HELP..... I really really want to understand why I (and I assume many others feel so short of breath) and why we feel so breathless during the withdrawal -it is the science behind this that messes me up, because not putting poison in should make breathing easier, no? I can get a hold on the reasons or the other cravings but I am not able to get over this one - I am actually feeling PETRIFIED of any physical activity, but I did (all in one afternoon which i didn't used to before quitting - I drove the car for 14 kilometres (jeez can you imagine being proud of that??/?// what a state we have reduced ourselves too?/??/) but more importantly watered the lawn and front garden for a fairly continuous 18 minutes.... but all the time I was panicking that I would stop breathing. I didnt but thats how I feel - am going to press post now, and THAT IS STILL how I feel
