Increased anxiety / energy from stopping smoking

I guess it’s the increased amount of oxygen in my blood from stopping smoking. I just keep trying to do more like house chores and stuff…man, I have too much time on my hands !!

Actually cigarette keep you in constant state of anxiety and dependent upon more and more smokes to get relief. It’s hard to break.

You said it yourself bro …

yeah, I guess that’s true? Plus I get really depressed when I"m smoking because if I ever pick up again I probably won’t try to stop for a long time. I feel very good that I’m stopped, but the energy levels are so high right now. I guess I’ll start taking walks.

**Hang tough!
I`ll bet your trying to keep busy all the time to keep
from lighting up. When I tried to quit, I kept myself so busy-I fell into bed already asleep. The anxiety is probably from wanting a cig.
Now would be a good time to play that guitar at night! :guitar: **

Or when you take a drag from a cigarette you breathe in more ie breathe in for a few seconds slowly. Hold breathe out.slowly.

In other words the same breathing exercises they tell you do for anxiety!

Did take me ages to connect the dots on that one but seems logical.

So focus on your breathing.
