Fortunately, this is temporary and passed in a couple of weeks. But the psychological dependence lasts much longer.
It was a breezy cold Christmas eve when I first met up with Dr Holmes in his little practition located behind the fast food corner. He told me that I left no choices: Lung cancer or stop smoking IMMEDIATELY !
I couldn't. Smoking was the biggest thing in my life, more important to me than food,esteem,career,children adding together. I smoked almost constantly. I would even walk around my house or work place with an ashtray in my hand.
Quitting is no picnic. But once succeeded, it is just delightful and rewarding ! So do it. Do it for yourself, for your self-esteem, for your health, for your children's health. Do it also for the comfort and health of those around you.
Those who have quit know nicotine withdrawal is no easy task. Yet the millions of tobacco-related cases of illness and death every year are powerful incentives to quit. But for the majority of smokers the incentives are not as powerful as the addiction impelling them to continue.
The habitual intake of nicotine, as discovered by medical research, is equivalent to the use of amphetamines, cocaine and heroin. Nicotine "meets the technical criteria of an addictive drug in laboratory studies by affecting brainwave, altering mood and serving as a biological reward that draws out certain behavior from both laboratory animals and human volunteers."
Have you struggled in vain for many years to quit smoking ? And you feel very DISCOURAGE ? Do not give up ! Others, many others who have been just addicted to nicotine, have succeeded in quitting.
After each resolution to quit, I would end up scouting around for cigarette butts. Or I would get dressed at night and go out to buy some. Only thereafter finding myself extremely disappointed and upset over yet another losing battle to tobacco.
But things need not necessarily be the same to you if you have the knowledge.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
How do you apply this into your struggle against tobacco ?
