Deciding to Quit Smoking
It takes courage to put down that last cigarette and quit smoking. Most people feel an intense combination of fear and excitement leading up to their quit date. Feeling afraid to quit smoking is completely normal, and is a by-product of addiction. Don't let that fear paralyze you, however, because the benefits you'll experience once you quit are well worth the work it takes to achieve.
Breaking the Chains of Slavery
Years of associating literally everything we did in our lives to smoking created powerful links in the chain of psychological dependence we had on nicotine. We thought we enjoyed smoking. We convinced ourselves that smoking calmed our nerves and helped us think more clearly. We thought of cigarettes as a friend, a companion, a buddy. We thought smoking helped us have more fun and enjoy life more fully. Logically, we knew better, but addiction can make people rationalize and justify all kinds of crazy notions.
The truth of the matter is......
smokers like the feeling they get when the nicotine level in their bloodstream is replenished. From the time a cigarette is stubbed out until the next one is lit, smokers are in a state of physical withdrawal from nicotine. The more time between cigarettes, the more severe the withdrawal, resulting in edginess, inability to concentrate, and even feelings of depression. It's a vicious, neverending cycle.
Between 2 weeks and 3 months:
Circulation improves
Walking becomes easier
Lung function increases
The worst of nicotine withdrawal symptoms subside within the first month. Following that, the focus shifts to learning how to decipher and reprogram the psychological tugs or urges to smoke that we've all built up over the years.
Knowledge is Power
Education is a necessary part of a successful quit smoking program. Why? Because when you know what to expect as you move through the process of recovery from nicotine addiction, you'll find you are equipped to maneuver the bumps in the road without losing your balance.Devote yourself to learning all you can about nicotine addiction, as well as what to expect as you go through the process of quitting tobacco. It will empower you!
Healing Your Mind:
Junkie Thinking and Your Smobriety"I can smoke just one! Just for this evening, I'll smoke, and then I'm back to my quit tomorrow! Really!" Sound familiar? Thoughts of smoking are common as you go through nicotine withdrawal. Your mind can feel like it's turning itself inside out trying to convince you to have just one cigarette. Don't let it throw you; this is a normal part of recovery from nicotine addiction.
Rationalizations for Smoking
Thoughts of smoking can creep in and throw you off balance if you're not prepared for them. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons people break down and light up that first cigarette is due to junkie thinking. How do you defeat those tempting thoughts to have just one?
4 Steps to Defeat the Urge to Smoke
When we first quit, the urge to smoke a cigarette can be overwhelming. Take some time to learn how to decipher what your body is trying to signal, and making better choices will be easier.
