I've quit smoking three times in the last few years but the stress of school and work made me relapse. Starting to smoke again hasn't made me feel any less stressed and now I'm regretting it but I just can't seem to let go. It's taking a toll on my weight and exercising performance. I'm worried that quitting will cause my already high anxiety to overflow to an unbearable limit. Should I wait until I have a less stressful period to quit again or should I do it asap?

I quit during a highly stressful period. I figured then was as good a time as any and I needed to find a way to deal with the stress without smoking. Mine was a punching bag. One of those that you sock and it pops back up. It was and still is a great stress reliever for me.
If most people don't find a way to deal with stress then they tend to go right back to smoking to relieve it. I wish you luck in quitting. __________________ I think I need help 'cause I'm drowning in myself. It's sinking in, I can't pretend that I ain't been through hell. I think I need help---Papa Roach |

I hear ya Sister (or brother). I was supposed to have quit by the time I was 40 and I am 44 now and havent done it. I am sitting here with an imobilized shoulder from rotator cuff surgery and a prisoner in my house so smoking has increased, and I am not sure what to do either.
