If you have had a knee jerk reaction in giving up on smoking with the knowledge that they you were getting undeniably addicted to their weakness, there is a very high probability of a most certain relapse – with a vengeance.
Here we talk about some tips and on how one can de addict themselves from the clutches of this nicotine killer addiction that claims the highest mortality rate. For a smoker, getting to the cause of the addiction is the root to drawing up a plan to counter the addiction and ultimately withdraw from this addiction.
If you are gasping for breath after walking a few steps, coughing and yet you contain a desperate urge to puff away on a nicotine stick, you are a confirmed nicotine addict. Merely fielding ignorance to the problem is the first step in letting grow into a disease, uncontrollable by any miracle or medicine. If you are suffering from a severe sore throat and you are incessantly coughing that renders you sleepless and you swear in the morning that you would completely abstain from smoking, there is a very high possibility of you relapsing in due course again.
One should mentally acknowledge and admit the fact that they are truly addicted and accept their weakness for the nicotine. Acceptance is the first step to de addiction. Before a smoker can actually admit to his weakness, there are number of contradictory thoughts that cross one’s mind. It could be that there are other smokers do not cough or contact sore throats as much. Well, your answer to that would be that not everybody get cancer, but those who have to get it, will. It better not be you.
Once the first step of admission is done, the road to de addiction gets tougher. The unnecessary arguments of continuance Vs. discontinuance ought to be first banished from thoughts. Figure out the problem, not sustain it. All said and done, this is perhaps one of the most challenging things in the world, yet possible. One might add “easier said, than done”. Absolutely no doubt about that. It is far more easier to picture oneself smoke a Marlboro than to digest a cough syrup with an overdose of antibiotics.
On the road to recovery, your body reacts as it naturally should. There is a sense of deprivation. You body acclimatized to the nicotine feed morning, noon and night finds a sudden down surge in the chemical reactions it is normally accustomed to. For the first few days, you would find yourself in frayed tempers, edgy, always on a high note, annoyed at the slightest provocation. Fear not, these are only wearing away symptoms, the wearing away of the hold of nicotine in the body, it’s a normal body reaction to a shortcoming, in good measure.
Generally on quitting cigarettes, one’s appetite increases substantially. Vitamin E is medically proven to be a great anti oxidant. This in lay mans language means it will prevent blood cells from reducing the oxygen content in blood thereby keeping you alert and relaxed, even as you satiate your craving for cigarettes through a larger intake of food.
De addiction is a matter of mind over matter, the matter being the nicotine substance. Where there is a will there are two ways, one way to stop smoking, the second to abstain forever from it. It’s a new beginning, a fresh lease on life.
