New and wondering how to quit with mental illness?
SD2026 replied to shy's topic in Introductions & About Us
Welcome @shy and well done on making the decision to quit nicotine! You have a lot going on what with having recently quit weed and alcohol as well, I'm assuming you're an all or nothing type personality! What coping methods are working for your weed and alcohol quit? Maybe you can apply the same for your nicotine quit. It is tough you live with someone who smokes unfortunately, it'll just mean you'll need to keep strong and focused on the reasons why you are quitting. I'm glad you're receiving medical attention for your chest/heart issues and I hope it goes ok. Regarding your schizophrenia, I'd recommend you keep in close contact with your mental health provider. You CAN do this, you just need to want it bad enough. Stay strong. - Today

I just had my last cigarette about an hour ago. I'm nervous about quitting with my mental illness. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 8 years ago. One I worry about completely snapping. Two I believe I cling to cigarettes because it was apart of me when I was considered "normal" and I don't want to lose that feeling. Three I'm recently two months sober from weed and alcohol. Fourth I live with a smoker who smokes in their room and I can smell it every time she lights up. Just struggling but I need to quit because I recently experienced chest pains and had a heart monitor on for two weeks. Still in the process of finding out what's going on there. I just feel I have tremendous odds stacked against me right now. I know I'm strong enough because I know what I have accomplished mentally over the past 8 years. Just really scared. I don't want to hurt anyone or myself. Any suggestions on how to approach a quit like this? Thank you
