Ok, lets give it another shot. This isnt easy. Nor is this time of my life. Am I biting off more than I can chew at this time of my life? My world is still upside down, but I want to quit hoping it will help me with my other issues.
It's truly a sign of how addicted you can become to cigarettes when it was tough to make it to day 2. OMG how bad is that. Now I keep looking for articles to reinforce the relation on anxiety/panic attacks, if there is any, to keep me going. It is my motivation, mainly.
Thank You! It is so cool someone is this close. Right now Im pretty much alone. Not with my family and the guys I live with all smoke, plus they are guys, if you know what I mean, ie clean kitchen. Anyway, I am using the patches, reg. chewing gum and baby carrotts right now. Im still amazed im even doing this right now, but hoping it helps with my overall quality of life. Its not bad today either.
Years ago I quit with my wife for 8 months. Unfortunately we started again. This was many years ago and I dont remember a lot of how I felt at first. Seems like the first couple of says has me tired and a little out of it. In general I feel good though. I dont know if my recent diet change and starting to work out are the cause of it. Im making a lot of changes all at once. I sure am hoping this change hepls with the panic issues I have had when driving. Many things I have read say I can contribute to it and this is my main motivation. Any thoughts?
My panic attacks are when I AM smoking. I am hoping NOT smoking will help with this issue. I have read it can and this is a big motivator for me. I already feel calmer just in the 2 days I havnt smoked. I need this, I need to be a new better person so I can get my life back on track. I am doing everything I can think of. .....now if I can find www.get a job today .net I will be good to go! My Milage:

Thank you sooo much! The health educators on these sites are wonderful! You have been truly helpful in my just being at this point. A few months back when I discovered the panic center, I was at a seemingly hopeless point in my life. Today I am actively working on improving my quality of life, I have hope for a better future and I WANT to try, it wasnt so back then. So I do Thank You all very much.

So I just drove a roommate to the store ( so he could buy smokes, ahhh) anyway, how long should I expect its going to be before I notice a change in my anxiety/panic feelings when I drive, hoping smoking has something to do with it. I bet there is no answer to this.

Oh boy day 3 is a harder start than day 2! The demon is very angry at this point and sying all kind of things to me. Well I am going to go make a healthy breakfast and get ready to head in to town and spend some time a the gym. Tomorrow I will make a haircut my reward. I get to go to my barber I havnt gone to in a year due to me not having my car. But now that I have made the choice to start exposure therapy driving I can get places. Will be nice to get a gooood cut, they use a straight edge, where most dont anymore. But boy oh boy, these thoughts keep poppin up. I just need to stay focused. Wish I knew the end result would eliminate the anxiety I get. Its my main reason.

The main reason for undertaking this is my panic feelings when I drive. As I sit here riding the bus I ask, will this help? Am I putting myself thru this just to geal with the same issues? I read how smoking van be related to my issues, but nothing is concrete. Maybe I'm just having a hard time rite now. My Milage:

This is by far the hardest! Just got done with a real good workout, went and ate and I'm craving a smoke and more food! This is a bad moment. On the bus headed back. At the bus stop ppl smoking and the smell. I notice now the smell still in my clothes I've wased since I smoked. Oh boy this is hard. Still wish I knew if quitting will help with anxiety attacks. I don't want to blow it but I want to smoke and I don't. This sucks! My Milage:
