Day 4 - 8-S

[nsd_user663_3862]

I woke up furious this morning, I can't tell how much of it is real anger and how much is withdrawals, there is something that has annoyed me, but I am going a bit OTT. On the drive into work I screamed at the top of my voice to try and release the tension and it has helped, but all my throat is sore now from too much screaming lol.

It is almost certainly withdrawal!

Stay strong and sometimes hitting a pillow or something else that is soft can help to.

my friend said she was thinking of taking me out bare knuckle fighting to earn a bit of extra cash hehe

LOL that's not a bad idea!

I do martial arts and remember early in my quit feeling loads better after an evening sparring, quite heavily:eek:

[nsd_user663_3862]

Really? Well I have applied for some ladies beginners classes at the local kick boxing gym, hopefully it will get rid of some of my aggression

Yes it should, as well as helping you tone, build stamina improving your balance and giving you extra confidence!

Oh you may notice I'm a bit of a biased obsessive when it comes to fitness and particularly martial arts :D:D

lololol thanks Nic

ahhh - the anger....

I had terrible bouts. This was because I smoked when furious - suddenly dealing with my emotions without a fag felt a little like drinking water and not using a glass...

It will get better but you will need to learn to make new associations (I loved destroying paperclips - still do!)

[nsd_user663_3862]

Haha will try the paperclips

:mad: ahh Anger ...ive always believed that Anger is an expression and shouldnt be supressed. You will find amazing satisfaction in burying your head in a pillow and screaming into it << this was advice i was given at the start of my quit .

Pent up tension needs realised ...punch the poor pillow again and again until you feel the anger flowing out ya.

Nic had martial arts which he could let off steam at , but if you dont have a regular steam letting off sport/hobby then punch the hell out the pillow .

Paperclips worked for cat but dont ever let anger drive you to the cig, there are ways to vent it !

and a big big congrats on getting to Day 4 - keep your resolve for the weekend ahead and let us know how you get on .

WELLDONE

Thank you, my name is Tre

[nsd_user663_3862]

My throat and back of my mouth is itching so bad, I have to keep trying to get my tongue to scratch it, and my eye is sore I normally get a sore eye if I am getting a cold, I am hoping it's smoking related and not a cold. This is probably too much info, but my lungs are starting to shift stuff it ain't nice and is making me gag.

[nsd_user663_3862]

At day 7 now for me isn't it :D, I am enjoying that I have stopped now, I am even starting to find myself being an annoying ex smoker hehe
