Had my last cigarette last night at 7 pm... Felt super happy that today would start my journey to freedom from nicotine. But now that I am awake for a few hours and normally would have smoked at least 2 by now, I feel the withdrawal setting in and its telling my brain STUPID things... I wont smoke, I wont. But I have a headache, feel like crying, and feel so powerless like I always do against this horrible addiction... Just need encouragement today. Can feel its going to be an hour by hour kind of day
rub your temples in a circular motion to relieve some of that tension.
Move your hands to your temples (the cushy spot between the corner of your eye and ear). Apply pressure with your three middle fingers for about 10 seconds. Repeat two to three times. Then, move your fingers slowly along your hairline, massaging your scalp and forehead along the way.
put an ice pack behind your neck to get your head out of a fearful spot.
