Dealing with the anxiety of not smoking

Was your New Year’s resolution to quit smoking cigarettes? Whether it was out of concern for your health, or because of a loved one’s concern for you, the decision to stop smoking itself causes anxiety.
To add to the problem, almost all newbie non-smokers gain weight, adding to the anxiety of withdrawal. This is because nicotine is an appetite suppressant – when it’s absent, appetite returns with a vengeance. To add to the problem, food meets the natural desire for comfort during times of anxiety.
One way to address these dual anxieties and help you carry through your New Year’s resolution is to use the Bach Flower Essence Rescue ® Remedy. British homeopath and physician Dr. Edward Bach developed this combination of essences from five different flowers in the 1930’s and it is now used by millions of people when they find the stress of life to be overwhelming.
The Rescue ® product comes in the form of a dropper bottle, a spray bottle, or even lozenges which provide the gratification of food. Instead of reaching for a cigarette next time, perhaps try Rescue Remedy. Soothing jangled nerves naturally will save your lungs and maybe a few pounds too.
