I quit Tuesday at 9:50pm. I am really struggling. The doctor gave me some meds for anxiety. It’s not helping. I feel like I have ten emotions going on at once. I can’t even rationalize how smoking would even fix what I’m feeling now. No dark or scary feelings. But I feel like an anxious ball of semi anger. I didn’t have this the last time I quit.
Get out and exercise. Breath deep. Watch a comedy. Clean up clutter. Get a treat. Chew on a straw. Write a longer blog on Ex--tell your smoking/quit story.
Staying busy and diversions are standard for the first few weeks of quitting. You can see that it isn't the smoking that will help so high five for knowing this.
Here are a few blogs to read and a youtube video:
