I quit smoking 3 days ago and cant concentrate at all? -
has anyone else been through this? is there anything i can do to improve my concentration. i have something really important to write requiring the most concentration ive ever needed and ive lost the ability to concentrate nearly all together. i feel like smoking again!!
I quit smoking a couple of months ago
to improve ur concentration, i chewed gum it took my mind off it.
throw any left over cigarettes away
and lock your lighter away
also get people to support u and if u reach for a cigarette make them tell you NO! sternly.
it helps. :D
Its nicotine withdrawal and you are reaching the end of it, dont smoke again or you will have to do through withdrawal another time.
Stick at it and slow down, you need to take something to slow your system down as its agitated because it needs nicotine.
You can either go to the doctors for something or you could try taking some paracetamol, I know it sounds daft but it sends signals to the brain that help with pain control so you are less likely to be agitated.
I gave up smoking a month ago now and I still fancy a cig so it takes a long time for your head to stop wanting one as in 3/4 days the nicotine withdrawal will start to ease.
Good luck and stick with it.
It is withdrawal from nicotine.
If the concentrating is getting too hard to do, maybe you should see a doctor and get nicotine patches. Or depending on where you are in the world, maybe a pharmacy or hospital can give you nicotine patches for free.
My housemate found she had to replace smoking with chewing for almost two months, the stress was that much. Not one pencil in my house was spared by her.
Get the help, and do not give in to having a smoke again, your three days down, it may get a bit harder but smoking is unhealthy and you are better to be not smoking.
Yeah its awful, I gave up three weeks ago and the first couple of days I went through really hard periods of just wanting a cigarette. Take five Min-s and just remind yourself again why you quit in the first place and realise that you WONT enjoy the cigarette if you do have one.
Good luck with whatever your writing.
Well done for stopping.
Get some polo mints and try to keep busy.
Remember, if you start smoking again you will stink and you will disappoint yourself.
Who-s the idiot that told you to start smoking again? What a d!ckhead.
Yeah, it-s normal, part of nicotine withdrawal. You-re at or close to the worst point -- it should get bettter within a week or two.
its called a withdrawal symptom and will usually lead you to go back to smoking
its normal stick too it
