I recently overcame my addiction to tobacco about a year ago and I can’t tell you the difference it made in my life and my anxiety.

In my opinion my anxiety was very bad, most of the time it kept me from leaving the house. Now I still feel it sometimes but I can control it.

Give it a try


Good luck and God Bless

I have to agree with this...

i still smoke but i do notice it often makes me feel more anxious after a ciggarette...but for some silly reason i still do it. the last time i visited my psych she told me that its a posibility that smoking can have effects on the antidepressants and affect them working...

i am trying to give up smoking, its very hard

I'm trying to give up smoking too. Yes, it is very hard. I tried hypnosis, it was unsuccessfull. So, onward the search to help me quite goes.

I stopped smoking 1.5 years ago. It didn't have any impact at all.

Smoking has never made my attacks worse, in fact and some of you may find this strange but, sometimes if I feel hyper I smoke a cigarette and it calms me down.
I know some people say coffee makes them feel worse too, but it's never been a problem for me.
I guess everyone is different.

I dipped for quite a while. I stopped this past Father's day. So it's been 49 days.

I can't say that I feel better. I love the feeling that tobacco gives.

However I hated the addiction and the risk it posed. Plus I hated having to do it. I hated having to make sure I could do it at certain places and times. I hated how it was integrated into my routines. I didn't like the fact that the anticipation for it was almost better than it itself.

I really don't want to do it again. So many times I have stopped for a while then got in a "mood". Then boom... right back where I was...

Good luck stopping. Take it seriously. The risks are enormous.

Getting over the addiction is truly incredible. It is amazing what the body can tell the mind to tell you why you should do it. It is like mind over matter to stop. My mind would actually convince me it was healthy. Then I'd go... now wait... what the heck am I thinking. It was the addiction. Funny the way it works. Addiction sucks.

Take it easy.
