A new beginning
Hi I am only on day 2 of quitting and I’m looking for some advice. I struggle with really bad anxiety and ever since I stopped yesterday I can not get the feeling of anxiety to stop. I am finding I can’t concentrate and feel like I’m going insane. Has anyone else experienced something similar, is there any tips to lessening this experience??
Breathing exercises and regular yoga have helped me stay in control of my anxiety and short fuse over the last three weeks nearly I’ve quit
im on day 24 and have been a heavy smoker for 43 years. i was experiencing anxiety with the cravings. I am using the nicorrette spray mist to keep it under control
good luck on your journey and i hope this helps
I'm on day 21 and have experienced anxiety in the beginning. That has subsided but each day I still need to stay strong and remind myself the reasons for quitting and that I am no longer a slave to my addiction. We can do this! Your not alone!!
Congratulations on day 2. Almost have nicotine outfit your system. Usually 3 days. On in day 29 cold turkey. I did a lot of crying and that burst seemed to help and so did peanuts and sun flower seeds. I wanted to smoke so bad but I just keep saying give it one more day and now I’m almost at a month. Hang in there. I’m alone with nobody or friends just doing it all alone if that doesn’t suck. You can do this.
I am only 18 hours in and feeling the same. It has been a few months down the track and hope you have stuck with it.
Hi Selinashane, honestly I thought the feelings would never go away and they came back quite regularly over the first month. Now it’s been a few months and I am feeling so much better. The breathlessness and anxiety has lifted and now I only have yo try and manage cravings in social situations. Hold on and persevere because you will feel so much better in the long run!
