Stop smoking panic attacks.

@trellg132- Good morning and good for you! Oh boy do I know what this Man means. It is so tough. After my surgery which was 1 week after I quit I went home post op and couldn't exercise for a while to help with cravings. They certainly pull your strings, and test you beyond endurance sometimes. There are no rhythm or rhythm to the cravings. Smelling smoke never set me off. I was surprised that drinking coffee didn't either.
What are you doing to off set the cravings? Did you have a plan before hand or set a quit date?

@alamogal635- Hey- Thanks for pinch hitting for me when you had the time! That was certainly a hard trip for you. I'm so glad that you quit and I'm sure that you can smell and taste everything better. Thank you for sharing your story. I'll never plan to go back- but I still dream sometimes that someone catches me with cigarettes or smell smoke on me 🙁

Me too

@trellg132- Please hang in there. Also as others talk about the withdrawal would you mind chiming in and tell others that I have quit too?

I smoked over 30 years, even through hard chemotherapy, I tried to quit so many times! I would last 3 days, a week, or a month. Then when I crushed my right side in an accident, I was in the hospital for two weeks, and I promised myself when I got out all I had to do was not start again. Easier said than done, I just had to keep reminding myself, I wanted to quit, now is my chance. Six years down the road, I am still reminding myself occasionally, especially when I have pain from something. Pain somehow reminds my brain to smoke, go figure. So far so good!

It is hard this is my first time trying to quit I know its gonna be hard

It is hard but just keep telling yourself I quit because I wanted to quit, and when the cravings are bad go for a walk or do something with your hands that requires your full attention. Kudos for quitting!
