Quit Smoking Withdrawal Symptoms

Quit Smoking Withdrawal Symptoms – Just Say No!
 

Without an effective means to deal with nicotine withdrawal symptoms, quitting smoking can be a very miserable experience. How long and how severe symptoms are vary from person to person. However, it’s safe to say they will be their worst during the first 3 days after quitting. Then in the days and weeks to follow they will begin to taper off gradually for weeks or months depending upon the method you choose to quit smoking.

Let’s take a look at the list of possible symptoms you are likely to experience to one degree or another once you begin your quit smoking program. I’ve broken the symptoms down into two separate groups to show which symptoms are related to nicotine and which are related to psychological elements. Group A is purely psychological in nature, Group B symptoms are actually physical distress caused by nicotine.

Here they are in no particular order, with the exception of placing them into two groups as indicated above…

Group A psychological symptoms: strong craving to smoke, nervousness, irritability, anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia and inability to concentrate.

 
Group B nicotine symptoms: Headache, dizziness, dry mouth, cough, sore throat, sore tongue/gums, postnasal drip, tightness in chest, gastrointestinal discomfort and hot flashes.                                                                                                

Consider this…many people report having cravings to smoke again even years after quitting. The point is this,  nearly all quit smoking authority websites list cravings as a nicotine withdrawal symptom. Logic tells us it cannot be related to nicotine addiction. It is actually a withdrawal symptom related to psychological addiction and not to nicotine at all. Because It only takes 3 days for nicotine to be completely removed from the body once it is no longer introduced into the body again. Therefore, cravings to light up again weeks, months or even years later cannot be caused by nicotine withdrawal.

The only conclusion that can possibly be made from this is that any cravings to smoke again after nicotine is gone can only be a symptom of a psychological addiction.

Additionally, we can move nervousness, irritability, anxiety, depression, inability to concentrate, fatigue and insomnia to the psychological side of the addiction equation too. Which leaves nicotine responsible for only headache, dizziness, dry mouth, cough, sore throat, postnasal drip, tightness in chest, gastrointestinal discomfort and hot flashes.

An astute observer will notice that a new and different method for quitting must be considered, instead of the traditional mainstream methods we find being touted by the quit smoking authorities, if we are effectively going to be able to deal with withdrawal symptoms.
   
So what are your real options for coping with smoking withdrawal symptoms? Some of the most commonly recommended methods for coping with the urge to smoke by the quit smoking authorities are in no particular order…

Exercise Vigorously
Get Plenty Of Rest
Take Multivitamins
Drink Water when A craving occurs
Relax and Breathe deeply
Distract Yourself When You Feel a Craving
Chew On Gum Or Toothpick
Develop a Support Group or Network

The traditionally recommended ways to cope with withdrawal symptoms work wonderfully with helping reduce Group B symptoms, but offer little help with Group A. Why? because the majority of them are excellent methods for dealing with cold symptoms, which is exactly what nicotine withdrawal symptoms mimic. And the good news is that it only takes 3 days to eliminate nicotine from your system so you can say goodbye to Group B symptoms in 3 days! Which leaves you still needing an effective remedy for Group A symptoms.

If you attempt to quit smoking with traditional methods, you will have no effective means to deal with Group A quit smoking withdrawal symptoms.  Those symptoms can be completely eliminated by hypnosis.  Which means, if you use hypnosis to quit smoking you can reduce your quit smoking withdrawal symptoms to something no worse than dealing with a mild to moderate cold or flu like symptoms. 

The main problem with traditional mainstream quit smoking methods is that cravings to light up and smoke again continue long after nicotine has been completely removed from your body. Without a means to overcome the psychological need to light up again, cravings persist, and well intentioned quitters inevitably succumb to their old habits again within weeks or months.

That’s where hypnosis comes into play. With hypnosis, the cause of cravings are isolated and effectively removed. Nicotine replacement products and designer quit smoking drugs have no effect upon your psychological addiction. If anything, they simply prolong nicotine addiction. Nor do any of the commonly recommended methods for coping with quit smoking withdrawal symptoms have any significant effect on eliminating psychological addiction symptoms.

Will you still suffer from withdrawal symptoms after undergoing hypnosis?

It is probable that you will experience mild symptoms during the first 3 days of quitting. However, the vast majority of successful non smokers who quit using hypnosis report having experienced little, to no symptoms, other than cold like symptoms.

Quitting Smoking doesn’t have to be the most difficult thing you’ve ever done. You really do have a choice.
