Problem: Sandy gets withdrawal symptoms
When I quit smoking in the past I got irritable and had trouble concentrating. On top of that, I got huge cravings to smoke and just couldn’t handle it.
Answer: Use a quit smoking medication
Sandy has a classic case of nicotine withdrawal. It’s public enemy number one for people trying to quit. Her body has become physically used to nicotine and when she tries to quit it goes into a revolt of sorts. It’s totally normal to for Sandy to feel cravings, get irritable, become moody, feel depressed and anxious, and to have trouble concentrating.

The really good news is that she doesn’t have to feel that way. There are many quit smoking medications available that will block out these withdrawal symptoms. These medicines will allow Sandy to focus on making the behavior changes such as breaking the habit part of why she smokes and learning how to deal with emotions without smoking.
