Goning to stop smoking for a few months from today.

[[Do...]]

I started being a real smoker about 4-5 years ago(1 pack day).before that I would smoke like 5-10 cigs a week.

 

I started smoking a lot basically due to anxiety and stress I believe.

That is also the reason I couldn't stop.

 

But now that I feel calmer and off benzos for over a month I will give it a try.

 

I am going to stop c/t.

 

wish me luck

DO NOT quit smoking while in withdrawal. Well, cold turkey at least. It will mess you up. Smoking increases cortisol, yes. But it also upregulates dopamine. If you cut out the cigarettes, the anxiety is going to get a lot worse and its not gonna be pretty. I would "taper" off your smokes. Slowly. Talk to CrazyPants about quitting smoking in withdrawal.

I started supplementing Niacin and it revved my anxiety up so bad that I couldn't go to the shop for rolling papers so I was forced to quit. I was thrown back to acute withdrawal with hallucinations. That was on the 20/12/14 and today is the first day I don't feel like I'm back in acute.

 

Anyway gl.

I was able to quit using e-cigs.  Not sure what the latest consensus on the health ramifications is, but when you're ready you could wean off of the nicotine that way.

my second cold turkey.

 

LOL...seriously I'm done with this crap. wish you good luck.....

i tried to reduce cigs in the past but it didn't work. so there you go....
