Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Smoking

I know it is bad, but I started smoking again (cigarettes). I smoke when I am stressed. I know I need to quit, but it is difficult. I have always been very fit, but now I feel like I need to smoke. It is a terrible habit, I know, but for some reason, I like to do it.

Smoking actually ends up making people more stressed. I dont want to say whats wrong or right for you, but I'd say that smoking is prolly wrong for everyone, yes? Lol.

I know it is hard to quit- I was a smoker for 15 years and I have been smoke free for 1 1/2 years (AS OF 11/27/2007 )and I still do struggle but as time pass it gets better.
What helped me continue to be smike free was to do mediatation and deep breating exercises.
Don't beat yourself up because you started again, quitting is hard and it doesn't happen over night.
Good luck

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
