Quitting Smoking And Common Side Effects



By 

The side effects of quitting smoking, also known as withdrawal symptoms, are typically both physical and emotional. Physical withdrawal symptoms may include headaches, coughing and sore throats. After about three days the nicotine is washed away from the body's system. After one week, the physical side effects usually subside. At the most, the side effects will not usually last more than one week.

Emotional side effects of quitting smoking often include feelings of nervousness, restlessness or anxiety. You might complain of feeling stressed out or have a difficult time sleeping. These emotional effects might linger a month or longer. It can be helpful to recognize that the healing process commonly includes these feelings. It helps to realize that these feelings are typical during the healing process. They are temporary and hopefully will soon be gone.

It may feel like a yo-yo or roller coaster, feeling energetic one day and feeling angry or stressed the next. You have broken your usual routine of turning to smoking in order to relieve stress or boredom. The easiest way to handle the stress seemed to be to take a cigarette break. You might worry about gaining weight. You are used to having something in your hand and may substitute food for the cigarette.

The key to dealing with the emotional highs and lows is to break the routine. An excellent way to do this is to use self hypnosis to quit smoking. Hypnosis is proven to be a successful way to help people to give up cigarettes, though people often get the wrong impression. You will not become a zombie. Hypnosis can help you to quit. Hypnosis helps to change the way you thinkg about smoking and gives you the control you need to stop.

During self hypnosis (all hypnosis is really self hypnosis) you can remove the need and desiredesire and need to smoke. When you don't have the desire to smoke, there is no feeling of deprivation. Your desire to become a non-smoker is supported during hypnosis when your subconscious mind is open to accepting suggestions. Programmming and habits are changed very quickly through this process. You learned the habit of smoking and you can now learn a new one. After all you were not born a smoker.

You may have been telling yourself that it is really tough to quit smoking. You believed it up until now. All this negative self talk reinforced your failure to quit. Using self hypnosis, you can be open to hearing constructive suggestions that will encourage you to quit. All of the side effects of quitting smoking
