Quit Tip
Dealing with Frustration :12:
You are now a couple days out from your quit day and may be finding that the little problems in life seem incredible difficult. Its an effect of the withdrawal from nicotine and it _will_ pass in a couple of weeks. You don't have to smoke to deal with frustration. You can choose a different response. How have you seen other people handle frustration, in healthy ways? If you can, get alone for a few minutes, take deep breaths, and slowly count to ten. You might try clenching your fists for a count of five, then shaking out your hands several times; imagine getting rid of some of that frustration as you shake your hands out, like a dog gets rid of water by shaking after a swim. Do this several times, followed by a few slow and calming breaths
Hope this helps!
Remember, don't puff; post!
Shalom!
