WITHDRAWAL ~

from nicotine can be a very unpleasant experience for the person who is trying to quit the habit.

A person can suffer many withdrawal symptoms which most often include: irritability, depression, mood swings, weepiness, light headedness and headaches, "pins and needles" in the legs, tiredness, insomnia, difficulty in thinking, gastro-intestinal upsets, increased hunger or cravings, constipation, various aches and pains, chest pains and coughing.

I've been smoke free for 37 weeks now and I still experience some of these symptoms. I really can't understand why my anxiety wont go away ... But I can say it's not near what it was last July.

I watched this 'train wreck' of a show, SOBER HOUSE, the other day and watched some of these minor 'celebs' struggle with all kind of withdrawals ... but they all got to smoke cigarettes!!!
Actually, though, you might think that that would make me want to smoke .... it really didn't. There was so much smoke swirling around the house it kind of made me 'virtually' choke ...
but there are other times I still wish I could have one.
