Is it life threatening if I quit my smoking habits now ????????????? -
I found severe stomach pain and admitted in hospital. In the discharge summary I came to know that I am having problem in my lever which has got swollen. Now I left my regular Alcohol drinking habit (6 days gone). Now i am suffering from insomnia due to not taking alcohol. Also i am smoking since 1994, at an average of 14 cig/day. Presently i want to quit smoking also. Can it cause any serious problem to me?
I-ve only heard positive things about quitting. Since the nicotine is addicting, you will have withdrawl symptoms. These symptoms can range from mild to severe, but will pass. Do not be surprised if quitting cigarettes adds to your insomnia. You-ll also feel anxiety (which I-m sure you are feeling from not drinking). You will have many different moods, also. The first 3 days of quitting is the hardest. After that it will get easier. Your lungs will start clearing and you may develop a phlemy cough. This is good. It may be brown as it-s purging the gunk from your lungs. For me when I quit, I woke completely drenched with perspiration a few nights. Again all normal. Foods will start tasting great about a week after quitting, and you will gain some weight. While quitting your nicotine/alcohol addictions, it-s important to drink a lot of water to help flush all the toxins in your system that have been building up over the years. The water will also help you feel better physically. Good luck to you! This is a very smart decision you have made. May your symptoms pass quickly!
it is best to quit now
You will experience withdrawal from the alcohol and the tobacco but is is better to quit together as one is usually a trigger for the other, your health can only improve from the cessation of both of these habits, cigarettes are very hard to quit especially for a drinker, drink lots of water and get as much walking and light exercise as you can handle, it takes your mind off of your habits and lets you sleep better at night. Don-t use ant substitutes to replace these habits, you will only end up with another addiction. exercise is the new addiction you want, don-t drink a lot of coffee as a substitute either it is also addictive ..GOOD LUCK YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS DIG DEEP AND USE ALL OF YOUR RESOLVE....YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING
I am not a doctor, but surely giving up the alcohol and cigarettes is a positve step to your recovery process, but also a hard road to travel for you. Get some professional advice from your GP. Good Luck and well done for being able to change, I am sure your body will thank you for it.
no serious problems w/the quitting of the smoking.....more problem w/quitting of the chronic drinking but it sounds like they mighta detoxed you at the hospital......just quit the ciggs if you can.....you prolly need some outpatient counseling at the very least for the alcohol if you have drank long enough to mess up ur liver.....
Your liver is the most complicated organ in your body.
Getting over that is your most greatest challenge right now.
Wait till your liver gets better before you try to tackle the other--STAY OFF THE DRINK!!
You can do this.
Hang in there. Cut back on the smoking gradually.
