January 11, 20188 yr I keep telling myself its just my mind playing tricks on me. I literally cant stand it. My entire body is a chill bump. I feel like I need something. Something. Think I'll go for a quick walk before I slip into panic mode. Walks help with my anxiety. If that doesn't help I'll shower. I cant smoke in the shower.
January 11, 20188 yr That's it Octain!! Distract yourself in whatever ways you can. Do anything but smoke. These urges are strong in the early days but they don't last forever. It is just your addicted brain screaming at you to feed that deadly addiction. You can beat it by being smarter which is exactly what you are by coming up with the distractions you mentioned. Carry on and keep close to the board here. We want you to succeed!
January 12, 20188 yr Good call Octain. Physical activity is great for dealing with craves. It's also worth noting that exercise has been shown in numerous studies to be more effective at combating stress, anxiety, and depression than any drug on the market. Movement is medicine. Just keep doing what you're doing.
January 12, 20188 yr Author Getting punched in the right cheek didn't work for 6 days, so the monster goes for the left. Now I have to get used to that cheek being smacked! Oh the craziness!
