Keith - of course you are going to feel anxious but try and put a spin on that - turn it in to excitement that you are going to stop smoking - yay - think of how much better you are going to feel, smell, sleep, how much more money you are going to have - can you feel the excitement building!!

Don't forget that excitement and anxiousness are exactly the same brain chemistry, the only difference is the way we view it.

Hi that's very interesting.

Yep, it's called adrenaline mate. The old 'fight or flight' chemical.

And. You. Will. FIGHT.

:)

Best wishes, and rant away whenever you want to!!

Also, make sure you join the January Freedom Fighters group here.

Cheers,

it's the excitement, anticipation and fear of not having a cig that's making you feel like that, have a lovely long bath maybe read a book or do whatever helps you really relax on Monday night and then on Tuesday you will wake up refreshed and ready to stick the patch on and go for it, post on here loads if you want to, especially in the early days, there will always be someone on here day or night to support you if you need it or to just have a chat to, wishing you the best of luck for Tuesday, you can sooooo do this :) x
