I am only 10 days away from 3 months smoke-free. I am having a hell of a time for the past two days. I haven't had a cigarette, but I have started having anxiety attacks, and smoking used to be one of the things that I did to help myself get through the attacks. I don't want to have a cigarette, but my brain is screaming at me for one. The anxiety is coming from the fact that my BF is gone for several weeks, and I've never in my life been alone for so long. I am freaking out a bit. Anyway, just thought I'd share because even if no one reads this, then I'm at least getting it out so maybe, just maybe, I can tell my brain to "STFU" for once in my life.
