Do you want to quit smoking? Have you told yourself repeatedly that you need to stop smoking either for your health or your ability to pay all your bills? Stop smoking now and take action to combat every hour of every day that passes as you take back control of your life from your nicotine addiction and quit smoking for good!
I had tried to stop smoking at least 6 times in 8 years since it first started becoming apparent to me that I had a terrible addiction to tobacco. While I have now managed to stay smoke free for almost 2 years , I feel like I am still a beginner when it comes to staying quit smoking and a professional when it comes to stopping!
In the past, I had given up on the most crucial milestones on my path, giving in to the temptation to smoke and sometimes actually thinking I could have ‘just one’ and actually get away with it…False! Every time I took the first drag I put all the power back into cigarettes and no matter how long I had stopped smoking, I was right back at it.
It’s no secret that smoking isn’t just bad, but horrible for your health. The habitual inhalation of the hundreds of toxic chemicals contained in every puff of tobacco smoke wreaks havoc on a person’s delicate internal organs, greatly increasing the risk of developing heart disease, cancer of all kinds (not just lung cancer!) and chronic, crippling respiratory diseases such as emphysema. Once one or more of these diseases develops, a not-so-pretty death does not lag far behind. But all this begs the question: if it’s so hazardous to one’s health, how does tobacco smoke finds its way into the lungs of millions of otherwise rational adults, dozens if not hundreds of times per day, every single day of every year? The answer is as simple as it is sinister, and can be summarized in one word: nicotine.
Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man; worse than cocaine, worse than heroin. Like all addictive chemicals, it ensnares its victims using a two-pronged attack, asserting its dominion over both their bodies and their minds. The body craves nicotine for its effects as a stimulant, an appetite suppressant, and most especially for the surge of dopamine’ the brain’s “pleasure chemical”‘ that is released with every inhalation. And once the brain is hooked in this fashion, so is the mind. This is because an unconscious connection has been made in the mind, between the jolt of pleasure released in the brain and the behavior that causes it, i.e., the act of smoking. The unconscious mind essentially gets tricked into thinking that the source of its pleasure isn’t nicotine, but smoking and all the behaviors associated with it; whether one smokes a cigarette after a meal, after sex, in the pub or on the drive to work, these behaviors will serve as triggers for the craving to smoke, and will keep doing so until these unconscious connections are undone. This is what makes smoking such an incredibly difficult habit to kick: long after the nicotine has been physically purged from one’s body, the ordinary acts of living trigger unpleasant feelings of withdrawal, craving and an overwhelming urge to light up that next cancer stick.
