The Road To Becoming Nicotine-Free - Dealing With Withdrawal

Everyone that\'s attempted to quit smoking or seriously considered stopping, has faced the same problem.

Withdrawal.

Depending on who you talk to, the withdrawal symptoms can go from severe to excruciating. The reality is, however, very different. If you have armed yourself with a good system, and you are determined in your decision to become nicotine-free, the withdrawal symptoms you\'ll experience will be few and far between, and much easier to ignore than you would have though.

Think about it for a minute.

When you go to sleep every night, you sleep for 6-8 hours, right? And the great majority of smokers don\'t wake up in the middle of the night to smoke. I know that some do, but they are the exception rather than the rule.

How is it, then, that during the day, when you are awake and alert, you can barely go a single hour without a cigarette, or at least without the apparent desire to smoke one? It seems to me that there must be some other factor at play.

After all, the withdrawal symptoms that you must be experiencing during the night are not even severe enough to wake you up!

It is when you are awake that you mind plays tricks on you, and convinces you that you must smoke. It has been ingrained in your head your whole life that quitting smoking is difficult and the temptation to smoke well-nigh irresistible.

Nicotine is a very fast-acting drug, and as such, also disappears from your body very quickly. In fact, after not smoking for three weeks, there is not a single molecule of nicotine left in your body! The greater part of the cravings and withdrawals symptoms are nothing more than creations of your mind, however convincing, and can therefore be banished by it.

The key ingredients to becoming nicotine-free are a good method -- whichever you are most comfortable with -- and determination to stick to your decisions.
