Hello canav and welcome to freedom - YOUR Freedom from active addiction to nicotine.
We are all addicted to a chemical - nicotine. It's important to look at this process as recovery from chemical dependency and not simply 'quitting smoking'. Why? Because things that happen when we quit using nicotine like sadness, anger, depression, elation are all part of the process of healing psychologically and emotionally. Really take the time to dig in and find out what nicotine has done to your brain's reward circuits. Whether we have been nicotine users for two years or twenty or thirty or forty years the thing that remains the same for us all is that our brains have rewired themselves to be ultra receptive to nicotine. One puff and the whole need cycle fires back up full force and then we have the same two choices we have always had - ingest more nicotine to further delay chemical withdrawal or deny nicotine entry to our blood and brain. Both of those are tough choices. In not too long a time if you keep your promise to NTAP keeping clean of nicotine will be the easiest way to go through life. I guarantee.
