June 18, 20179 yr I have no outside or extra stress to deal with and really looking after myself, but withdrawals are really strong today!! I've been distracting myself & keeping busy but feeling very angry...normally, I rarely get angry. I know I just have to ride it through. The deep breathing does help... Am in 4th day of my quit...
June 18, 20179 yr Congratulations on day 4 HN! There's no disputing the early days can be tough. But the payoff is worth it. It will get better soon....just hang in there!
June 18, 20179 yr Take it hour by hour if you have to. Go to the NOPE pledge and pledge every hour until you make it through the day.
June 18, 20179 yr HN... We don't call it Hell Week for nothing...the only way through this fight...this is the worst it will never get... Keep reading here..till your eyes bleed..all the help is here... Have you read Allen Carr the Easy Way..he has wrote a book that has help millions..most of us too... You can read it free on line.. I bought it on CD..and put it on my I pod and listened to it heaps...would strongly advice to seek him out.. Just keep busy. Being short tempered is very common..but it does pass..your body is coming through some massive adjustment .. Be patient..once I accepted this ..it helped ..oh and my punching pillow..lol...
June 18, 20179 yr Normally day 4 or 5 is probably the hardest for most, especially cold turkey. Nicotine is out of your body about now and your addiction is screaming to have it back. Just ride it out and take solace in the fact that the reason you feel so crappy is that you are successfully denying your addiction what it desperately needs. You are winning, your addiction is losing and the longer you deny it, the weaker it gets. Every time you fight off the craving, you get stronger. Get plenty of sleep because this part of your quit is physically and mentally draining. Your anger will diminish once you're through the tough stuff. It's completely normal. Just warn any loved ones that you may be a little difficult to live with for a bit :) Keep strong NH!
June 18, 20179 yr R!! Is right.. Turn all the negatives into positives...soon life will be wonderful..you,will have Freedom..!!!
