I've given up smoking and I've turned into a raging demon, any cures?
Question:
Answers:
I gave up smoking 3 years ago. I had the same problem, I was really nasty tempered.
The reason for me was that when I smoked, it was an 'escape' and a tool I used to calm myself if stressed, part of the benefit was taking a moment out and taking deep breaths.
I found the solution for me was to have little breaks as I would when I smoked, but instead of having a cigarette, I would get a cup of coffee, sit quietly and take some deep breaths. Part of what you are missing is the ritual of smoking, create a new ritual and it will be suddenly much easier to cope.
Well done, and good luck for continuing success.

Time. You are going through with drawls. I have heard drinking lots of water helps. Not a bad idea since it's supposed to be good for you anyway and curbs your appetite.
Get a hobby or chew some gum.Keep your mind off those darn cigs. be patient - the demon leaves in 3 days. after that you're just being a crab..
AHHH, me too! I feel like ripping my hair out! This is day one, I'm going to go crazy! I have no cures, other than quit quitting.
it depends if you stoped sudenly, because thats the mestake most people make you have to eaze off, not just suddenly, little by little. you a raging demon because your addicted and you body wants more but give it a little less then you usually do and continue redusing how much you smoke.

A doctor told me that the receptors that trigger a craving can only fire for forty seconds and then they stop. So a craving only lasts 40 seconds. Just remember when your sinking your teeth into the sofa arm it only lasts for forty seconds. By the way I stopped two years ago - Mint Imperials are my secret. I have no time for weak minded people, i quit 5 weeks ago no problem. As for side effects thats a myth,there are no such thing.
A coma ;-)
Anything that keeps you're mind off it. Or hypnotherapy which will make you hate smoking. Or there's a really good nasal spray if you want/need something immediate.
Try Dicoderm CQ. Worked for me. start smoking again--it works.
Yes, lots of water helps. Drink it at body temperature, NOT from the fridge. Try to avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, meat and fat for a few days. Eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you can eat one day only white rice and fruit. I know it is drastic, but imagine what nicotine has done to your body.
