You are doing great...I'm sooo proud for you!
You should be just about at the end of the withdrawal period now-you must remember that you've smoked so long that now it's more than just a habit for you, it's an addiction. Any addict needs time to recover from their choice drug.
Once your body is rid of the need to and the requirement of smoking, you will be home free. Your body needs to regulate itself again, kind of like learning a new trick, it takes time. Your blood pressure and pulse have to be reconfigured and your body's learning to deal with not having the constant source of nicotine to rely on energy. Keep going the way you are, don't ever pick up another cancer stick!

Drinking a lot of nonalcoholic fluids may help flush out your system.
