Nicotine Withdrawal

"If you're going through hell, keep going.

So you've got a little war going on there? Rest assured it will never be as hellish as Churchill's reference to World War 11.
Talking of war, there's a saying: "It's not who's right, but who's left that wins." Very funny, but look at it this way: You've got one side, your body, declaring that it is right, it wants nicotine right now!

And by the way, chemically it is right!

And it's throwing up nicotine withdrawal booby traps. It has spies burrowing into your brain, saying, "You like smoking don't you, you need me." Well of course you like smoking, that's why many smokers say, "I don't want to quit, I ENJOY smoking." And they do indeed, because they are addicted, and there is a great deal of pleasurable satisfaction in relieving an addiction by topping it up with a fix, and conversely to deny yourself that fix is painful.

On the other side, there's you, your mind telling you, No No NO — I want to be rid of all this, I don't want to be a smoker... but help!

So who's going to win? Who is going to be left? If you lose out to your chemical craving body, you will be taken prisoner again, and whoever heard of a free and happy prisoner?


Getting on top of the Side effects of quitting smoking are easier than you think.
You CAN control the physical and emotional smoker in you.
You CAN discover how to quickly change your habits and beliefs to minimize side effects when you stop smoking.
They say it takes a minute to find
a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.
Same for cigarettes? Like unrequited love, never leaving you in peace?
Stay with me here, and we'll show you how you can break this attachment, what to expect, and how banish this two-faced friend that's forever leading you up the garden path.

But first, as they say, "come sit with me here and tell me your story... "
It's important to go back to the start of your smoking to know what your side effects of quitting smoking will be and how to deal with them.
What made you try your first cigarette? What made you desire something that's totally unnecessary to life — downright dangerous in fact?

The risk aspect of it? Or maybe it was the sophistication of someone you knew, who smoked and seemed to be so with-it? The truth is probably somewhere in between Nobody takes up smoking because they're addicted to nicotine — it starts in the mind. You made a choice.
