Hi Denim and all,
I'm afraid I never made it through the night, went to bed and had a panic attack and smoked to calm me down. Will try again today, thanks for inquiring.
Kind regards
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
It is great to keep trying. It takes about three days to get most of the nicotine out of your system and if doing it cold turkey, it can be tough. If you have any craving, withdrawal symptom such as anxiety, panic attack, drink a large glass of ice water thru a straw, do deep breathing exercise or meditation, which can be found on you tube, run up and down stairs and if still having a problem, the forum has suggested to send out an SOS (as the subject) under Quit Support and wait for 3 members to answer before you give in to the crave. Also, read Quit Smoking Library and Quit Stories and Journals for additional distraction to ease over the panic attack or researching. You are a nicotine addict, not "just a smoker" and you have to go thru the withdrawals from the drug which will take about three days. Just keep trying and we are here to help. We've been there.

congrats Anthony,
Good to meet you.
This a journey. One we all must take and is unique to each of us, but we don't have to take it alone. I'll help you with yours if you help me with mine.

Hi Prawl8,
I am happy you have joined us in the journey. Focus on one day at a time. We have all had the good effects and the bad days and it is comforting to know there are people on the forum who can relate to what you are feeling at any time and will help you help yourself.
