Hello everyone! Yesterday was the day I joined and my first quit date. I have been setting up to quit for a couple of weeks and stumbled on this site yesterday looking for more info. I am so glad that I did! I made it 28 hours without a cigarette and then broke down last night. Good news is it tasted like crap and I did not enjoy it at all. Not to sound like an excuse, but I mainly did it for the anxiety. IT'S KILLING ME! I am not cranky or mad, just very anxious! I have tried the gum, patches, losengers and even the e cig and non are for me. Patch gives me rashes. Gum, losengers and e cig burn the hell out of my throat and make me instantly ill. So, for me it will just be chewing on straws and doing it cold turkey. In the past the cold turkey method worked the best anyhow for me. Anyway, any suggestions on the anxiety?
