Nice quit, babs! 7 is a great number! And I love the fact that you are no longer counting. I remember when I was in that place in my previous quit. It helps me to know I will get there again. And this

Still going strong.  the main issue I'm having right now is that I suffer from very sharp, acute bouts of anxiety.  When these bouts come on I feel like someone has reached inside my stomach and is squeezing my guts.  This and the tension throughout my body feels an awful like nicotine withdraw, so I crave the smokes.  What I realize is that it is really the anxiety and that I have kicked the physical need for nicotine- the cigarette will not help it.

Otherwise, I'm enjoying my freedom everyday.  I feel so proud that I have been able to do what a great number of people seem to find impossible and this forum has been a major factor in that.  Thank you all for everything!

I am so sorry you are feeling such anxiety, @Old Man Coffee

Nicotine often hides other medical issues we have so, do not hesitate to consult a health professional with your concerns.

 

Also, caffeine is known to stimulate anxiety

and here is a post from our friend, Joel Spitzer, about

Possible Changes In Caffeine Tolerance

 

Due to BP issues, I decided to quit caffeine too a year, or so, ago.

The withdrawals were physically difficult and I don't recommend cold turkey but, I am really glad to be rid of that addiction too. 

If you ever think about quitting caffeine, you may find this thread helpful.

Caffeine Withdrawal

 

 

On the bright side, I am so glad you are appreciating and enjoying your Freedom.

You will see many more benefits manifesting as the months/years pass.

Thank you for sharing your quit with all of us.

Your experiences and successes are sure to inspire.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
