Hey all!
I am almost 23, been smoking for about 9 years and have been thinking of quitting for the last few months, then gave it a shot....I am now on day 10 smoke free!
I am using nicotine patches as cold turkey is a no no, that would increase my anxiety!
I am wondering if anyone else has found it more difficult in the 2nd week of no smoking, I find I am stressed easily, and can see my anxiety symptoms creeping in more often which doesn't help, as i would usually reach for a fag first to try and calm down.
Today I have been soooo close to having just one more fag, but I know I will kick myself for doing it and would probably go back to smoking :( The problem is, I have ALWAYS enjoyed smoking, and really believe that wouldn't change no matter how many further years I would smoke. So thought while I had time off work and painting to do in the house, why not give it a go!
Anyone who is quitting smoking got any tips or suggestions to stay clear from slipping up? My panic attacks have gone away for a few months which has been great!!!, so feel I'm at my strongest to give it a go...but can feel myself deteriorating and don't want them to creep back in :/
Any advice would be appreciated!! As feel like I may slip up soon :(
Thanks x
