I am smoke free now for 2 1/2 days and am going out of my mind!!!!!! the cravings and withdrawal today have been incredible and am having a hard time coping, that green eyed nicotine monster is breathing down my neck hard and I feel like i'm gonna have a nervous breakdown but know that I CAN do this. I'm a 29yr old mom of 1 from Kitchener, ON Canada. I'm quitting mostly cold turkey with the help of the occasional piece of thrive gum. Carrot & Celery sticks are my staples that and drinking through a straw. My family thankfully is VERY supportive even though 98% of them are smokers themselves. If there are any suggestions on how to cope with the anxiety it would be greatly appreciated. My withdrawal headache is making it hard to focus and I feel like i'm living in a bubble. Thanks in advance for any help given!!!

WOW!!!! I've had a trying weekend and I did slip, was feeling extremely guilty, and down on myself and wondering if I would ever get this monster off my back, and then I came here and read Joe's post and KNEW that I could do it. If ever I feel like I'm going to slip again all I need to do now is remember Joe and the family that he left behind and I can be assured that I will NEVER pick up a cigarrette again. Thank you so much Joe for your selfless act of enlightening and inspiring us all!!!
R.I.P. Joe and good luck to Mrs. Joe and lil Joe my thoughts and prayers will be with you always as you move forward in life!

I too have begun brushing my teeth more(almost to the point of being obsessive sometimes) and am walking further and further everyday. I am also able to play with my 5 yr old more which is an awesome thing!! I have also started washing my hands more ( I pretend i'm washing away the nicotine).
Great thread - thanks for it!!!
