Status Report on NOT Smoking

MrMoe

Well, folks, I am still holding on...

The intense cravings that last 30 seconds to 3 minutes is not what is tough. What is tough is the confusion and weird feeling and the fact I feel like killing somebody. I feel like I am on a mild hallucinogenic. I am in hell. I have quit before, so I will be ok in a few days. First 3 days are the worst.

Nicotine is a highly addictive substance considered to be a major psychoactive drug. Confusion is bad right now for me because it effects a persons brain. How? Because the withdrawal is from a stimulant and my brain wave functions are returning to normal. Yes, this is a medical fact. Why do I get dizzy? From my brain actually getting more oxygen. Yes, more medical fact. Nicotine withdrawal symptoms are:

Dry mouth
Dizziness
Gastro-Intestinal symptoms
Visual side effects
Confusion
Sore throat
Sore gums
Sore tongue
Headaches
Trouble sleeping
Fatigue
Depression
Hunger
Tenseness
Irritability
Coughing
Chest tightness

I have to go now, the computer screen is blurring together.

Brain... is... melting...

Feel... so... strange...

You Know

The Watchtower is just plain evil for depriving JW's of the joys of tobacco addiction. LOL / You Know

YK - I still think DFing is harsh for ciggy smoking. And thanks for your vote of confidence.

Kisses,

YK, how about treating people as grown up and responsible enough to take care of their own health.. Naw that would never fly in a rules-based legalistic society.

Although its funny how I don't recall that eating a high fat unhealthy diet as being a DFing offense.

LOL Julien.

Mr Moe, hang in there kid. If you have group health insurance, many don't know that their plan will pay for a program ONE TIME.

Check with your health insurance on their policy about paying for 'Smoking Cessation.'

Good luck, and (((((HUGS))))) to you for quitting.

WAY TO GO, MOE!

I did one solid, heart-pumping, hour of aerobics today.

Never could have done that when I smoked.

Sending big hugs to you!

Hey Mr. Moe, I really enjoyed your website. I checked out all the links you provided. The red X's where pictures should have been was great. J/k.

Just remember, if you really want to quit, having a cigarette cannot even be an option.. Don't even make it an option.
