Hi John and welcome

6 weeks smokefree is awesome, so let's not spoil that....

It sounds like the anxiety is really got a grip on you theses past few days. It may help to break things down to smaller pieces 😊

Have you just dropped down the patches? It may be that you need the higher dosage for a few more days.

You say the mister ? Is working. Have you tried vaping instead?

Hey... North Korea ....... I know it can be worrying, but think of this.... can you personally change anything? it is what it is. Politicians have been like this forever and nothing will change by you worrying. Remember the Cuban Crisis?

Sit yourself down, take about 10 long deep breaths and remind yourself why you quit and where the anxiety is really coming from.

Post back if you need anything, we're here to listen and help where we can.

Hi Johnmc, Welcome to quit support.

Well done on reaching week 6 thats fantastic. Have a look at the pinned posts there is a section on cravings. Sometimes the cravings come out of the blue. The main thing is to be ready for when they do come. If you let us know your exact quit date we can add you to our wall of winners and assign you your badge.

Stay positive you can do this. :) xx
