I was trying to clean earlier and felt sooo not motivated lol

 I'm really glad you reached out, Lauralee. Quitting smoking is a huge step—seriously, congratulations! 🎉 It’s totally normal to feel drained, especially in the early stages. Your body is adjusting to a lot right now, and energy dips are a common part of the process.

Here’s what might be going on:

🧠 Why You’re Feeling Drained

• Nicotine withdrawal: Your body is used to getting regular boosts from nicotine, which stimulates your nervous system. Without it, you might feel sluggish or foggy.
• Sleep changes: Nicotine affects sleep patterns. You might be sleeping more or less deeply than usual.
• Mood shifts: Irritability, anxiety, or even mild depression can sneak in during withdrawal, which can sap your energy.
• Detoxing: Your body is literally healing—clearing out toxins, repairing tissues, and recalibrating.

💡 What Might Help

• Stay hydrated: Water helps flush out toxins and can improve energy levels.
• Eat energizing foods: Think fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins.
• Gentle movement: Even a short walk or light stretching can help boost your mood and energy.
• Rest without guilt: Your body is doing important work. It’s okay to take it easy.
