Happy Sunday fellow Nopers. Hope your weekend is shaping up nicely. Today there are a few countries celebrating Cancer Survivors Day... because just like successful Old Phartes are the beacons of hope for the Newbies, Cancer survivors are the beacons of hope for those coming behind them. So because I'm never going to stop fighting... I say: NOPE ... cos nothing is better than NOPE. Topic of the day: to be advised in the northy tomorrow.

I tend to agree with Jillar that it sounds like anxiety, however in my case my smoking was hiding the fact I had a thyroid issue as the nicotine was treating the anxiety associated with my thyroid condition. I used NRT gum in the early days of my quit which still helped hide the symptoms but once I stopped that it went into over drive. It is worth going to your doctor and asking for some blood tests and check your thyroid levels. Before the diagnosis though the way I was dealing with the anxiety, which can be physically crippling was a breathing technique.... I would take a breath, usually drawing on an imaginary smoke (my pen, a straw) and hold for a 3 count then slowly breath out over the next 3 count. Beath in over 3, hold 3 , out over 3.... I would do this for about 2 minutes and just concentrate on the breathing while I did it. Thanks for posting about this. It is so scary when it happens and you are so not the only one. It gets better further into the quit... its partly the nicotine receptors trying to get you to feed the addiction in most cases. But if you think its more do go to your doctor.
