Quitting smoking?

Question

What did you all do to cope with nicotine withdrawals? I have gum and mints right now and I'm doing ok but I get super emotional when I'm detoxing from nicotine, looking for experiences

Answer

When I quit, I read that those nicotine urges last for about 2 minute cycles so if you can get through those 2 minutes you’ve done good and that helped me a lot! The cycles get further and further apart as your system and psychology changes over time. During those 2 minute cycles find a new ritual or stress reliever. You could do a breathing exercise, sunflower seeds, take a water break! Good luck!

Answer

keep yourself BUSY! find something to do when you’re craving nicotine, i ordered some acupuncture rings off amazon for a few dollars and they helped me a lot or try any fidgety toys that you may like

Answer

Honestly I was a mess when I was quitting for about the first 2 weeks. Also took me two attempts to actually 100% quit. Chewed a LOT of gum and just stuck to my guns. My husband was excited I was quitting so he was buckled in for my horrid attitude the first while 😅
If you can make it through the first 2 weeks. I promise it gets WAY easier after that. Also an app like “quit pro” or something to keep track really helped me.
I smoked for 9 years, and quit in 2015.
You can do it!!!!! Good luck 🍀
