What about getting cranky? |
|
I'm determined to quit. Now living with a friend who doesn't smoke in the house. So, I'm already cut down to about 25% of what I was smoking, on most days. One thing I've noticed is that the physical craving is way less than the mental obsession. Haven't figured that out yet. But, the other night I also noticed I was extremely cranky. Impatient and short tempered. What can be done about that?

3. Lower your caffeine intake |
|
A lot of the effects of caffeine are blocked by nicotine. if you are taking in less nicotine, you are getting way more caffeine than you used to get.

I recall when I quit because I was pregnant with my youngest (age 40) I constantly craved oranges. I always kept them in the house. I would cut them into eighths and just eat them off the peel!! At the time I thought it was a "pregnancy" craving, but perhaps it was to replace all of the vitamin C that the cigs were robbing from my body! I'd try some if I were you. As far a being cranky? IT GOES WITH THE PROCESS !! My kids are all glad that I'm quiting finally, but they are MORE glad that I live alone, and they don't have to be around me. Just go take a deep breath of fresh air and clear your mind. This too shall pass !! OR... try sucking on a lollypop??? Maybe.......
