What keeps you from going crazy when quitting smoking cold turkey? -
I have noticed that after a day or so of not smoking I start getting very irritable and cranky and downright ancy. How long does this last. I have only been smoking for a few years but I am sort of a heavy smoker. I wanna quit and I want some advice from people who have done it cold turkey.
Takes forever to get it out of your system. I just stopped one day. I think realizing that you don-t get much from it helps you out the most.
Nicotine Narcotic Poison is used by many plants for defense against insects. The game plan is for the Narcotic to mimic the -satisfaction and sense of well being- brain enzyme, and stop the insect from eating the plant, while it slowly dies from the toxin/poison characteristic roughly 100 times the toxicity of cobra venom. Humans are tough enough that given time, we can build up resistance to the poison, and enjoy the narcotic. However, the brain stops making that enzyme on its own, if we do this. Psychologically, we have a programmed need for feeling -okay- at intervals, as our ancestors who sought security, satisfaction, etc., did better in life and had more children to pass on the genetics for that sort of built-in game plan. If a person is addicted to frequent Nicotine Narcotic binges, and quits, the instinct that something is dreadfully wrong falls upon us. Observe a lovers couple pouncing on cigarettes and pretending the feeling of satisfaction was from the sex! Hilarious and disturbing seen for what it really is. Tapering off is as good as toughing it out, for various kinds of people. But stop poisoning oneself and everyone around oneself. Regards, Larry.
