The period of withdrawal

Within three weeks after you smoked your last cigarette, you can haunt the agony of withdrawal, consisting of two different factors.

Withdrawal causes discomfort, a feeling of insecurity, this state resembles the feeling of hunger, which is manifested in the smoker as cravings for cigarette or you want something to hold in your hands. Psychological trigger. Some kinds of events that trigger the desire to smoke. This can be a phone conversation or end a meal.

The unawareness of this factor and the inability to distinguish between these situations are a serious obstacle to getting rid of Smoking through willpower. The reminder is the reason due to which many people who quit Smoking start again. Despite the fact that the withdrawal from cigarettes does not cause any physical suffering, do not underestimate this period of his life. After all, when we spend the whole day nothing to eat, we are greatly tormented by hunger, we rumbling in the abdomen, but no physical agony we feel. But hunger is a very serious feeling, which can cause irritation and discontent, if not to eat. Exactly the same thing happens when we experience the feeling of hunger only relative to cigarettes. But the difference is that food is the source of our vitality, and poison – no. And so with the right attitude this discomfort is easy to overcome.


A few days

If during the first days can overcome the craving for nicotine, not lit at the same time, then soon all the discomfort will pass. This is the second factor leading to difficulties. As a smoker used at certain points in their life to smoke a cigarette, he had factors able to remind him about the cigarette, that is to say the factors of Association. (For example: "I can't get the pleasure of eating, if you don't smoke.") Can you give an example of this situation:

For example, for many years you had a car that the turn signal was located to the left of the steering column. And your new machine it is on the right. You know what he is right now, but for the first couple of weeks you be hard to turn on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal. The same thing happens when you quit Smoking. The first time you have in mind will trigger some mechanism which will require a cigarette. But if you are from the start would be to stop these moments, soon they will disappear completely. When deliverance from Smoking by force of will, the smoker believes he sacrifices himself. Because of this sacrifice, he feels frustrated and waiting, when will this condition. But in the end it only enhances the mechanism of Association and thereby aggravates the situation.

One of the most common associated factors is eating, especially with friends, anywhere in the restaurant. The smoker feels deprived of something, especially the feeling intensifies, when one of friends lights. At such moments, a former smoker does not feel any positive emotions from meeting friends or eating. These associations, reminding him about the cigarette, further enhanced his suffering. Along with this there is a growing psychological effects on the brain of the smoker. If the person will be unmoved by temptation, you will eventually succeed in achieving his goal. But, unfortunately, the psychological impact on the brain is very large, and even people who already got rid of the habit of Smoking because of worries about his health or finances, and a couple of years continue to experience a sense of deprivation in certain moments. The smoker suffers from the illusion that exists in his head.


What gives us joy

Unfortunately, even in my method ex-smokers start Smoking again due to the impact of associated factors. People tend to consider a cigarette as a pill of joy and deliverance from suffering. He thinks that the cigarette does not give him anything, he understands that, but if he will not to think about anything, then at some point the cigarette will be able to support him and to help.

But the so-called tablet of joy can sometimes relieve the symptoms of the disease, which ill smoker. The disease manifests itself not in physical pain and the psychological desire to smoke. But this tablet, that is, cigarette, in addition to the curative effect will bring more and those symptoms that you have experienced when you were Smoking before. In addition, the cigarette after a while ceases to provide good health benefits, which the first one did. Thus, this tablet is more of a poison, it breeds disease and is a killer of your body.

Let's look at this situation with an example. For example, take the case of a woman who lost her husband. In this moment of grief and unhappiness, you can say "smoke a cigarette – you'll feel better." If the proposal is accepted, the cigarette will not produce the desired calming effect, because before the woman had never smoked and if you smoke now, then she'll feel bad physically. And if the cigarette was smoked to the end, then it would simply not make sense. The cigarette was smoked, and the tragedy with this woman and left. And besides, now, in addition to grief and emotions, the woman will chaseand nicotine addiction, the desire to smoke. And if she will smoke again, it will remain dependent forever. And if you resist, it will pass. All that I can give a cigarette is a small psychological support. But the same effect can be achieved by human support expressed condolences. Is it possible to offer a drink. And it will also produce the same effect. Some people acquired a nicotine addiction that way.


Misconception

You should always resist the brainwashing. Remember that CIG is not able to help you, you only kill yourself when you think that cigarette is support for you. And also there is no need to feel unhappy, because the cigarette doesn't feel like a nice dinner or a fun meeting, on the contrary, it destroys them. Do not forget that smokers smoke while eating is not because cigarette makes them a pleasant dinner, but only because they are dependent, they are addicts. They will not be able to enjoy food and life without cigarettes.

Do not be fooled that the habit of Smoking is nice and good. Some smokers think that if there are cigarettes that have no nicotine, everything would be different. But these cigarettes exist, and those smokers who have tried herbal cigarettes, come to the conclusion that it's just a waste of time. The problem is that you is dependent on nicotine, and when you get rid of this dependence, then you will not care to smoke this cigarette or not, and anyway, if she gives you a view of the business and confident person or not.

It does not matter whether your suffering real symptoms or is it just the effect on your subconscious. If you make peace with the discomfort, the desire to quit Smoking will not be a problem for you. Don't worry about the period of withdrawal, because really there is nothing to worry.

Don't worry about this, but better to tell yourself that this agony is the reason why people are smokers all my life. And non-smokers have never experienced. And at the moment I'm watching another devastating feature of nicotine. And what happiness that you are finally rid of destructive habits.


The disease and how to fight it

May be during the first three weeks you will feel in your body is a slight discomfort, but during these weeks and throughout later life you'll be really happy, because now you don't have to kill myself. You will get rid of the terrible diseases that affect millions of people. Such thoughts about the reward will make your withdrawal from cigarettes even enjoyable.

Imagine all that is associated with Smoking,for you the game. And this time will be a joy for you. For example, that you live in a huge nicotine worm, which constantly needs feeding, and you, on the contrary, to fight with him and starve him, thus defeating him. But he will stubbornly try to survive and trick you by any means, but you must defeat him.

Sometimes it can make you feel insecure, lonely, and sometimes will produce in you the temerity. Can someone offer you a cigarette, you will agree, but then remember that I can't, so how do you get rid of this bad habit. And then you will visit a sense of deprivation.

You should prepare yourself for such situations. Think about it, such temptations arise simply because your body is sitting a parasite, and every failure in such situations, you strike the enemy with a crushing blow. Every minute, hour, day don't try to forget and not think about cigarette. It is these moments of depression associated with smokers, and prevent them to throw on the method of willpower. They think that someday the time will come and they will forget about Smoking.

But the same happens when you have insomnia. The more you think about it, the longer you will not sleep. You will not be able to forget about Smoking, whatever you do. The nicotine monster that dwells in you that will constantly remind you of cigarettes. And as long as the world will not get rid of advertising about cigarettes and all of a sudden don't stop Smoking, you will still remember about cigarettes.

But nothing bad will happen, if you think about it. On the contrary, if you think about a cigarette every moment, enjoy this moment, remember how good it feels to be free as well from anything to depend on.


The solution and success

And then the discomfort will turn into moments of pleasure, and you do not have time to understand how quickly you forget about cigarettes. Never doubt your decision, no matter what happens. If you will doubt, you will become dull and sad. And you need every second to experience such support himself. If you have become depressed, remember that depression gave rise to it is nicotine. If you offer to smoke, please respond to this person that you are very happy that you no longer need nicotine. Maybe you and it will hurt, but realizing that you are so easy to give up cigarettes, maybe he too will want to join you.

You have plenty of reasons why addiction is a very profitable business. For example, you will save a huge amount of money used to spend on cigarettes. And also before you have caused great harm. And if you want now to expose the deadly risk your health? And also remember that all these torments of withdrawal is only temporaryphenomenon, and soon you will achieve your goal.

Many smokers fear that they will have to spend the rest of my life in pain and suffering, the longing for a cigarette during times when associating factors will remind you of Smoking. They believe that they are now life will have to engage in self-deception, persuading themselves that they do not want to smoke. No. This is not so. Remember the old saying: the optimist sees the bottle half full, pessimist – half empty. If you forget about all the factors that remind you of cigarette, if you will get a full bottle, you realize that for you there is no need in Smoking. All this is just your attitude and approach to business. And it is probably one of the most important aspects in decision to quit Smoking.
