What
You're Experiencing:
Chemical Withdrawals And
Habitual Cravings
While you quit, you'll experience different
problems. Your mind will want to satiate
it's usual habit. Your body will want you
to replace the nicotine that you're neglecting
to give it. These two things sound simple,
but in reality cravings, habits, and withdrawals
can be extremely tough to beat.
Nicotine
withdrawals are tough to beat, but once you're
over the worst cravings during the first couple
of weeks, you're pretty much in the clear.
Your body wants you to replace what you've taken
away from it - nicotine is an addictive
&$^^$%$%& drug that affects %$#$&$#&. If
nicotine cravings are too strong for you to
beat, you should seriously consider using a
nicotine replacement program or a natural
nicotine withdrawal program like herbal Cig-Arette.
Quitting cigarettes also comes with mental and
habitual addictions. Unlike chemical
dependency on nicotine, the habitual component
of quitting smoking is strictly a matter of
willpower. You have to break the habit by
being stronger than the cravings. Remember
- cravings never last forever.
Take your mind off the craving by going for a
walk, playing cards, going for a drive, chewing
gum, watching a movie, taking a shower -
anything that will redirect your mind off
the habitual craving. Once it goes away,
tell yourself that you've beat it once and you
can beat it again.
"Beating
Nicotine Withdrawals"
Nicotine is a very addictive drug. It's
the #1 active ingredient in cigarettes that
makes you want to come back for more. Some
very intelligent people have compared nicotine
addiction to heroin, but that might be a little
bit strong (just ask a heroin addict).
Breaking your nicotine addiction is a big part
of quitting smoking, and it only lasts a few
weeks. Once you're over the hump of the
nicotine cravings, it's all a mental game from
there.

"Willpower & Habitual Cravings"
Even if there was no chemical dependency on
cigarettes, people would find quitting to be
difficult because of the habitual aspect.
Humans are creatures of habit. Habits often
make us comfortable, provide something familiar, and
help us feel in control. Take away a habit,
and we lose that comfort.
In order to beat
habitual cravings, you only have to be a little bit
stronger than the craving itself. You have to
understand that you control your habits, not the
other way around.
If you think you might have
problems with habitual cravings while you quit
smoking, visit our products section and have a look
at the hypnosis programs. Willpower is not
easy to find when you're experiencing habitual
cravings, and hypnosis can provide you with a huge
edge on the mental side of beating smoking.
