Tips on Helping You Get Through The First Five Days of Quitting Smoking
shared by Anonymous
In the first five days of quitting smoking, your body is going through a physical withdrawal from your addiction to nicotine. This is a painful period (that does not last beyond five days) in which you can succumb to the pain by smoking again.
Here are some tips that will help you stay away from cigarettes during these five days.
1) Try to stay away from alcohol and coffee. If you drink these beverages, you likely associate smoking with them.
2) Drink lots of water or fruit juice to help clean your body.
3) Be good to yourself, go to bed early. If you are feeling tired, rest.
4) If you feel up to exercise, exercise. Sweating helps to eliminate nicotine and other toxins in your body.
5) Try to remove yourself from stressful situations if possible. You can deal with that stress after the five days has passed.
6) If you do use street drugs, try to stay away from that too. You want to be in control as much as possible.
The first five days of quitting smoking are painful but you can get through it if you avoid additional unnecessary pressures on yourself.
