Nicotine Withdrawal Timeline

Trying to quit smoking again, and using the patch as a replacement for nicotine. I find that even with the patch withdrawal symptoms are still physically and psychologically very strong and almost unbearable. I meet many edgyness, irritablilty and anxiety to the point that it made my relationships with others. Does smoking have any last advice or maybe even a scenario in which to expect these symptoms to disappear?

I went Cold Turkey. I think the hardest part was the first 2 or 3 days. perhaps try to explain this to your friends / family, then they will be more understanding. will be a great help for you to start exercising, like running. it will help eliminate your lungs and calm your nerves. Lifting weights is good for the nerves, also.

Keep a packet of Rowntrees fruitgums practice

When you feel a certain envy bat on the tongue and drown your taste buds.

it worked for me 36 years ago and no turning back.

Do not keep cigarettes at home or in your car or anywhee. get rid now.

Try what I tried:

Just a few weeks to try and avoid your usual schedule and routines, do frequent places where you smoke, Do not hang with the guys smoking yesterday until you've kicked the habit! Doesn't mean they are no longer friends, but they are your temptation! To take your mind from smoking in places where smoking is banned, do things that you do not often that you see your mind is more focused on "Whats NEW" and not "what old", good luck my prayers are with you that it is a battle you can win! Mind over matter!
