I know baby, shhh. I know. You get so angry without it. You feel like it helps you. I know, shhhhh, it’s okay. Hold my hand baby. The nicotine is truly making your anxiety worse. It’s not reliving any stress, the same situations will make you less stressed once you’re not addicted. I know, I’m so sorry baby, it’s okay. Shhhhhhh. I’m sorry. The best way to quit is intense distraction, surround yourself with things you love and do not doomscroll, use your body. Do physical things every single day and notice how you feel better the longer you stay off nic. It’s okay baby. I believe in you. After like a week the cravings truly are manageable. But you have to want it. I want it for you. I want you to want it too.

QUITTING VAPING

You don’t have anxiety you just have a nicotine addiction. Smoke cigarettes like an adult if you absolutely must!

explore your emotional why

I quit smoking maybe a decade ago, and I was having a really hard time. A friend asked, “I wonder what’s underneath that?” And being the little emotional explorer I am that really drove me to give it a fair shot. For me, smoking was a way to suppress all of my emotions. When you think about it, when you are smoking, you are taking nice deep breaths. Very regulating! When I first quit, I was an emotional mess. It was new to me, and I felt ridiculous, but it passed quickly. I had to learn new ways of emotionally regulating. I also chewed a piece of gum every time I wanted a cigarette. I became sort of addicted to gum for a while, but that also faded. A big part of smoking for me was that it was an intentional way to cause harm to myself. I knew that it was bad and I liked the way that it felt. I had to do a lot of psychological and emotional work to unlearn that self harming drive. So, mentally I was also telling myself that this was a loving thing for me to do and that I deserved to take care of my body and be healthy. There’s lots of logical ways to help you quit, but like all addictions there’s an emotional component to it. Discover what that is for you and treat the root issue! Good luck!
