Any tips on curving the emotional issues tied with quitting smoking?

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?

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.

The Fear of Giving Up Smoking

*** Do Not Quit Smoking! Click Here ***

The mind is a funny thing, we can be scared of the stupidest things. Take me for example, I get vertigo quite badly in real life, however it even worries me playing a computer game with a high up part, or watching a DVD with a scene when someones up high. I mean how does that work, what on earth am I scared about, it’s just plain silly.

Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was building up to yet another one of my quit smoking attempts. They scared me to death, a life without my smokes would be awful, terrible, unbearable – how do those other people survive! I know there is a very real fear of giving up, simply because I had it.

I don’t know why I finally managed to try and quit, I was quite famous for my non-attempts at stopping smoking. The announcement that I would stop on such a date, and then reality that I would conveniently find some reason why it wasn’t suitable time. It was fear, nothing less than pure fear of my existence without cigarettes.

Even now some 6 years after I smoked my final one I can still remember that fear, but I can also remember the relative ease of how I quit. There is a single battle you need to win to give up smoking, it’s really all in the mind. The one thing you need to understand is that a cigarette gives you no pleasure whatsoever.

Now I know if you’re a smoker, you’ll be disagreeing at this point, I know I would have been. There are lots of smokes that appear to give lots of pleasure, in the morning walking to work, in the car, after a nice meal or even with a drink. Well it’s a con, a lie, a deception – whatever you think there is no real joy out of a cigarette merely a perception of joy.

The reason is quite simple, but also cunningly deceptive, there is a perception of pleasure but this is purely based on the relief of withdrawal symptoms. Every smoker suffers these the whole of their life, the only single point you won’t suffer them is when you are smoking. Therein lies the pleasure – the release from withdrawal symptoms, I can guarantee that is all.

Please consider this point if you’re contemplating a quit, you don’t need anything to help you except understanding this concept. There is simply a small physical withdrawal to overcome which actually take only a few days, after that it’s all in your mind. Your mind will keep reminding you of supposed pleasures, but they are just the same pleasure that a drug addict feels when he satisfies his craving.

I have questions about quitting smoking cigarettes and the health benefits and timeline of detox?

My husband is 48. Has been smoking since he was 24. One pack per day and he smoked menthol cigs (important detail).

1. He stopped on Monday of this week at 8am. It has been 3 nights and 4 days so far. How many more days will he have to suffer through the detox and withdrawal symptoms?

2. Give me a complete list of medical benefits including how this will effect his libido and his erections. One important detail. He has been diabetic since he is 30, he is in tight control since he was 39 with A1C average of 6.0 and he has mild peripheral neuropathy in his feet.
Repeat: List of health benefits including erection improvement possibility.

do not turn back. he has to quit smoking. in diabetes it is very important. 4 days is not enough for detox. 7-10 days minimum… but he can use nicotine patches to pass more comfortable this period. drinking 2-3 litters of water per day
drinking herbal teas
eating fresh foods(fruits,vegetables)
quitting the habits that he have while smoking ( coffee, tea, alcohol) will be useful.

the A1C seems normal. the neuropathy is also normal. cause you said that he is diabetic since 30.
don’t know about libido and erections but he has to quit smoking just for the neuropathy and diabetes. he is young, he can live longer, healthier and a qualified life…
