I am attempting to quit smoking, again, and using the patch as a nicotine replacement. I am finding that even with the patch the physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms are still quite strong and almost unbearable. I am experiencing alot of edgyness, irritablilty and anxiety to the point that is effecting my relationships with others. Do any past smokers have any tips or maybe even a timeline in which to expect these symptoms to subside?
Chosen Answer:
I went cold turkey. I think the most painful part was the first 2 or 3 days. maybe try explaining this to your friends/ family, so they’ll be more understanding. a BIG help will be for you to start exercising, like running. that’ll help clear your lungs, and calm your nerves. weight lifting is good for nerves, too.
