Coping with Withdrawal:

"We shall not flag or fail...
we shall fight with growing confidence."
-Winston Churchill

The first few days and weeks off cigarettes can be tough. (Not for everyone, but for many smokers.) But things will get better soon. WITHDRAWAL REACTIONS GO AWAY FAST! They are at their worst a day or two after quitting. Then, they start to weaken. The first week is the hardest. By two weeks, many withdrawal reactions have gone away, and urges to smoke get weaker and farther apart. There is life after cigarettes!

Sadly, many people who quit smoking give up within a week or two - because of withdrawal. They don't know that withdrawal is a good sign of recovery from nicotine addiction. Withdrawal doesn't last forever!

To keep an upper hand, know what to expect and how to cope. Taking an active stand against withdrawal is a must in this "combat stage" of quitting. Check over these common withdrawal feelings and ways to cope. Nicotine replacement therapy or Zyban® can be a big help. But, with or without medications, try these tips.
