I have no outside or extra stress to deal with and really looking after myself, but withdrawals are really strong today!! I've been distracting myself & keeping busy but feeling very angry...normally, I rarely get angry. I know I just have to ride it through. The deep breathing does help...

Am in 4th day of my quit...

Take it hour by hour if you have to. Go to the NOPE pledge and pledge every hour until you make it through the day.

Normally day 4 or 5 is probably the hardest for most, especially cold turkey. Nicotine is out of your body about now and your addiction is screaming to have it back. Just ride it out and take solace in the fact that the reason you feel so crappy is that you are successfully denying your addiction what it desperately needs. You are winning, your addiction is losing and the longer you deny it, the weaker it gets. Every time you fight off the craving, you get stronger. Get plenty of sleep because this part of your quit is physically and mentally draining. Your anger will diminish once you're through the tough stuff. It's completely normal. Just warn any loved ones that you may be a little difficult to live with for a bit :) Keep strong NH!

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.
