Ive quit smoking cold turkey and am having a lot of anxiety!!!! Anyone with some veiwpoints to stick with it? -
im really trying to turn my life around one step at a time I recently quit smoking and am one smell away from falling back.... I dont want to lapse but I-ve been stressed a lot lately and this is adding to my frustration.... How to quit... stick with it and let go for good!!!!
Cold turkey makes a wonderful sandwich!!! When you feel the anxiety start to build, take a walk, a steamy shower and sing to your heart-s delight, even have a good cry if you feel it!
You can do many small things to sooth anxiety that have nothing to do with smoking...how about: Walk to the store and buy a magazine about diet, exercise, or healthy interesting hobbies. You can use the money you didn-t spend on butts for the week!!!
Good luck, and keep it going!!!
Think of how difficult it was when you first quit. Remember that it is easier now (no matter how difficult it is)...it-s still easier than those first couple of days. Remember that you are stronger than that cigarette that had you tethered for so long.
Go out to a place where you can-t smoke. Stay there until the urge goes away...mall, library, movie theater.
Good luck!
Withdraw off of opiates for just one hour and you will realize how easy it is to quit smoking. Be glad it doesn-t hit you physically to where you cannot move, puking, crapping your brains out and sweating. Plus mind games after that.
Drink some tea, buy Valerian Root.
I would recommend going to a doctor and telling him you-re trying to quit smoking and having anxiety. Sometimes they put people on medication before the stop so it-s not so bad. I tried to quit cold turkey and had massive mood swings so I started back. SO - my next plan of action is to go to the doc and follow the instructions I just gave you.
