Day 677. Terrible craves yesterday. Something gnawing at my lip, hello my pretty…..
No matter how far along you are, you never know when it is going to hit. Luckily by now I have trained my mind to automatically focus on something else so it did not bother me for more than a few minutes.
Stay strong and vigilant. I quit with you today.

It wont kill you. Its only an anxiety attack. Crazy you would mention that because i was having them last week. Not about nicotine but for some reason over the last month i have had a hard time sleeping? Idk i think its stress? i fall asleep fine but was waking up at 1am feeling nervous/anxious like my heart going 100mph? After 3-4 days of only 2-3 hours of sleep a night my mind was all wacked out and i remember thinking just that, that i was going to die….lol(i know i wasnt laughing at the time). Looking online the symptoms match a panic/anxiety attack perfectly especially that feeling of dying. You will be better off by sticking through it. It will pass. Nicotine wont help. Its crazy as bad as i felt i never once even considered nicotine to make me feel better?

ERIC,
Great news! ALL of these NIC withdrawal symptoms are normal and we all had to fight through them. Keep hydrated, work out, chew gum, seeds, whatever it takes; power through it and will yourself over the hump. I am proud to be quit with you ONE DAY AT A TIME……

Day 612! Wow, I still remember my first 160 days! They were awful! At present, more energy, more creativity, more concentration power and better sleeping habits. Still have MINOR anxiety issues from time to time. This does NOT mean you will. Stay the course! Life without nicotine abuse and dependence is awesome! The world is going back to being GOLDEN! If I can do this, so can YOU!

Do you, or have you ever taken anything for the anxiety?

No, BDUNN. I have never taken anything for the anxiety. I just practice acceptance and deep breathing. However, if you feel you should be on some type of medication because your anxiety is getting that bad, see a doctor. The anxiety levels are different for everyone; in my case, they became pretty severe. But, I did manage it. Meditation helped me a lot as well as rigorous exercise, change of eating habits, drinking lots of water! I was really up and down for a long time. Right now, time is all you have. You must be creative with it. Stay the course and read everything folks post on here! I hope this helps…
