Quitting Smoking Side Effects

For a start, I want to talk a little about Nicotine and what kind of effects it has on human body. Nicotine is a drug. When you inhale smoke, you get Nicotine in your lungs. From there it is bonded with blood cells and by blood stream it is transferred through your whole organism. There are two biggest problems with Nicotine. In order to understand quit smoking side effects I need to explain them to you. So, the first problem is that Nicotine replaces Oxygen spots in your blood cells, so because of It, you are getting less oxygen in your body and getting more poison. The second problem happens when Nicotine comes to your brain. Brain recognizes Nicotine as a natural body product and it produces better and faster connection in your neurons. That basically means that your brain sees Nicotine as euphoric drug, and it creates sensation of some kind of happiness. Of course, that it’s a false feeling. Now, I will tell you what side effects you may have.
You will encounter 2 types of sensations- physical and mental. Don’t get me wrong, but you can solve all problems with your mind. If you really decide to quit smoking cold turkey, nothing will stop you. But still, I want to tell you a little more about the addictions. Both addictions result in some kind of annoyance. And they can be divided in two groups. Some of them last first couple of days (1-3), while others last a couple of weeks (1-3). You can easily encounter dizziness. I have already explained what you should do, so for that info go a couple of pages back and read. You will encounter many more problems. Usually, they are: depression, irritability, headaches, feelings of impatience, frustration and anger, constipation and gas, cough, dry mouth, nasal drip and sore throat, anxiety and many more problems. Now, if you really want to quit smoking cold turkey, all these quit smoking side effects will be minor to you.
There are many things that you can do in order to minimize these transient problems that you have. In the previous post I talked about things you can do, so go back and read it for more info. I can only hope that you find my research helpful.

Quit Smoking Cold Turkey: Additional Resources
We have already established that smoking is just a habit. And many possible reasons why you chose to do it. And what you should do in order to change that. Now, I want to talk about additional resource that can help you in your life path. By that, I mean all things that can help you in your way of quitting smoking cold turkey. I will share my experience with many different products that I took and I will tell you the results that I had. But be aware, I am only sharing my own story, and it’s quite possible that things that were bad for me, may work for you. So on the recommendation of my wife I went to the market and bought healthy filter for cigarettes. It worked well, but the main problem wasn’t its efficiency. The problem was that I enjoyed smoking. Although I knew it was a bad habit, I still loved it.
And that filter was killing my pleasure. After 10 smokes I trashed that shit. I was angry at the sales manager for providing me with the stupid crap that was minimizing my fulfillment with every smoke I inhaled. So I went to see a psychiatrist. And after a couple of sessions I found what the problem was. It was the association with cigarettes that I had in my mind. I found that I was free while I smoked! Now, when I write this, it sounds hilarious. So I went to a hypnotist and asked for help. So he hypnotized me. After I woke up, I knew that nothing changed. I don’t really believe in hypnosis, so I started to chat with the dude.
I found many useful things that ultimately changed my standing ground about smoking. So how does hypnosis work? I have no clue. But I know that every human has his own perception of reality. If you are like me, now, you are asking what the F. that means? Well, it means that all the actions that you do result in your beliefs about the world. So, actually I know what I needed to do. I needed to change my beliefs about smoking. And when I changed my view and the stand point on cigarettes, everything changed. I don’t want to smoke anymore. Yea, the change wasn’t easy, I had crises, but with simple techniques of this dude, and a couple of mine, I managed to quit smoking cold turkey.
Now, by additional resources, what do I mean? All resources that you need are inside you. You really don’t need anything more. Nicotine patches and gums, these are all crap. Because that stuff only hide your desire for pleasure. That stuff doesn’t really give you any cure. It only masks your problem. And I don’t want those kinds of results. Because of that, there are many people that went back to smoking. They didn’t manage their emotions about smoking, they just hid them with some help. I hope that this is useful to you, as it was to me, when I first heard this.
Habit Management: Exploration
your whole life. Think about what you are doing right now. What you did 5 years ago… In order for that action to become part of you, it needs to become a habit. Daily routine or weekly routine… So Humans are operating in that order. What is that fact telling you right now? Every action that stuck around with you is a habit. So in order to change some unhealthy habits you need to replace them with the good ones that you like.
One of the best tools that helped me the most is one type of hypnosis. While all hypnotists are going to tell you that every hypnosis works, I don’t share their beliefs. But I do know one thing- how you can use part of hypnosis to help yourselves and structure some of your own beliefs. Let me explain. Right now, you have an inner monologue with yourself. Every action that you take in your life is guided by beliefs that you have about the world, about yourself, about others…about everything. And as a result of those beliefs you got a monologue that is guiding your actions. The best thing that I found about this matter you can find here, right now. Feel free to enjoy every aspect of it.
So, by this I mean that somebody, somehow told you, consciously or unconsciously, that cigarettes are all that you think they are. Maybe you see them as a stress relief, or maybe you see smoking as freedom. Or, as a result of media, you got an idea that by smoking you are the man. It’s something that you need to figure out. You need to find what courses your habits that result in smoking cigarettes. Right now, quitting smoking cold turkey means that you need to find this out. For now, this is it. I will soon try to answer what core beliefs you need to acknowledge in order to speed up the process. I hope that this helps. See you soon.
Habit Management
So smoking is just a nasty habit. You need to change everything in order to change yourself. I will give you some basic things that can help you so you can do it easier than I did it. First, it is important to make a decision to quit. Stop everything, sit down, take a piece of paper and a calendar, write all reasons why you are quitting smoking and circle that date on the calendar.
Next, take all cigarettes that you have in the house, in your car, in all places that are your usual places of living, and trash them all. Even the lighters. The best thing would be to walk a couple of streets and throw them in a dumpster. You should start exercising regularly, and by that I mean that every morning you should wake up in the same healthy time from 7 to 9 and start your day with some 15 min workout. I strongly recommend 5 Tiberians workout, but if those exercises are too simple for you, you should go to a nearby gym and start some serious working out!
Be aware of your need for cigars. When it strikes, you should go and chill out, walk, or go jogging. The best way to minimize this is by staying busy all the time, so if you don’t have some hobby, I strongly recommend that you should find one!
The worst time is when you get an urge to smoke. So our goal is to minimize that. One of the tricks is to always get busy. So beside the workout, you need to make your mind busy with something. I don’t mean to go watch TV or something similar. I mean to find some kind of hobby. Go do some modelling, or buy a pet, or go socialize, organize some house parties, just take your life in your hands and enjoy it.
There will be times, when the urge is so strong that you think you are going to puke if you don’t take a smoke. Well, the good stuff is the additional recourses that can help you to mimic nasty habit but with more healthy results. We will discuss that in our next chapters. For now, just enjoy your healthy breath, enjoy your commitment, and enjoy being you. If you find yourself in distress, just don’t forget- drink water, do some workout, go chill out, go for long walks, or anything else, really, as long as it keeps your mind busy. I hope this helps you as it helped me! See yaa.
Quit Smoking Cold Turkey
Cigarette
First I want you to ask yourself what you want. Do you really want to quit? Why? I started this because on my way I found something strange. The more I read about smoking and quitting, the more confused became. I have read many articles by different types of people and their reasons for quitting smoking cold turkey. I was even more confused. All that didn’t help me to stop smoking- it has only made me more fucked up. So when I started to ask myself WHY? And what I really want? And what do cigarettes mean for me? What do they symbolize? Then, only then it started to make sense. For me a cigarette was associated with a couple of things.The first one was rebellion. I took my first smoke as a teenager. It was a symbol of rebellion, of freedom, even manhood.
It meant for me much more than a simple cigarette. It symbolized all that I was, It was my own affirmation of the world, all that I stood for. It was my identity. So now, I asked myself DO I really need something that makes me sick to symbolize m? Do I really? Of course not, but before this research I had never before seen this from this angel. Now I was aware of my state, and aware of what I subconsciously made in my mind- that a cigarette stood for something much more that just a stupid poison. The even bigger shit is that I didn’t do that. The media, the Industry, commercials did that shit. Next time when you see a commercial, take your time, watch it carefully, and see what they are trying to tell you in deeper sense. In my next article I will try in more detail to explain what I mean. For now let’s get back to my associations.
So when I am aware of the negative influence those cigarettes have in my mind, I can start to change that shit. For a start, I redefined what makes me a man, and this surely isn’t cigarettes. I have no privacy to share too much personal information about which I made my list. I just am suggesting that you should make your own list. What defines you as a person? Write one essay about yourself. What are your hobbies? What are your qualities? Who are you? Then you can see if there is any fucked up shit on that list. I had cigarettes. So I am in control of my emotions, and I don’t need some stupid madafuckers to tell me who I am. I am all I can be, and I choose to live healthy. For me it was as simple as that. All the shit that they tell you to do, all scams of programs that sell you fog. You don’t need that. You are better than that. All you need is you, and the clear vision of what you really want. Think about it guys. See you soon…
