What types of withdrawal symptoms if any have you experienced? I am feeling so very irritable lately with no valid reason. I am wondering if it is a form of "addiction withdrawal"????
Hi Resolve, with any type of addiction recovery there are most definitely symptoms that follow. If you are in the process of recovering from a gambling addiction, then you will be experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
So I have been smoking over 40 years. I have never smoked more than a pack a day but mostly it's like 3 packs a week. I still have a nicotine addiction. I recently quit using Nicatron puffers. I don't like them and just discovered I should use them because like it or not I am going thu withdrawal's. I'm mentally and emotionally fine. I now have a stuffed up nose, coughing all the time, stay up later at nigt, want a cigeratte all the time. I keep thinking I'll go buy a pack then I think it's not a good idea. So today I read up on quitting and withdrawals. I quit pretty fast so if your thinking about quitting do it slowly and don't throw your whole body system into shock. I'm a strong willed person and I'm still having a hard time. In 15 years I'll be 72 and my body will be like someone that never smoked. 40 years of smoking and 15 years to heal my insides. I think I'm suppose to be hitting off the inhalers for the nicotine but it doesn't make since to put it in my system when I am trying to remove it? I don't know, it's all crazy. At this point I'll either quit or smoke. I do not want to die of a heart attack which is what will happen if I continue to smoke. So if it takes 9 months to stop coughing and feeling like crap it's worth it. Wish me luck, this is the hardest thing I'll ever have to do. I'm sticking to my guns unless I do insane than I'll just have to have a smoke. It sounds crazy and the experts will say one leads to another but it's not true for everyone. I know this for a fact. Good luck to others with addictions
jstoy, I got a really big kick out of reading your post & gotta thank you for that & your advice as I'm a smoker & know when I'm ready to quit it'll have to be slow & easy & a little bit at a time.
Again thank you for the smile friend.
All my strengths.

Hi April, Thank you. I will tell you that only you knows when your ready. I quit 2 months ago for 1 and 1/2 weeks, was doing great , had no withdrawals at all. Life was great then I went and bought a pack of butts, why I have no idea. By the time I opened them (hours later) that was it for me. I just kept buying them. This time around I think my tired of smoking body just said “STOP IT” and I did. Yes take it slow, you’ll say I’m gonna quit smoking blah blah well when you say that start slowing down. I want to go buy a pack right now, I only want one cigeratte!! Then I think about that 16 month old grandson I just tucked in and he’s more important to me then smoking. I feel back for people with serious addictions like pills and drugs, geesh I’d need to be in rehab for that one. Quitting smoking is tough for sure. I will never get depressed like they say can happen, I’d smoke first!! This is something that can be controlled, imagine drugs or pills OMG I know people with those problems and I feel bad for those who try to quit, it’s not easy. You need a reason to live I guess, and I have plenty of reasons. Take care April, you’ll know when your ready and a support group is great but with this kind of addiction people need help. If someone on the other side of a computer was telling me "You can do it, blah blah blah, it would not be enough for me. This is going to be a hard road for me and I already know I’ll smoke here and there but I also know thats how have to do it. I’m done smoking full time! Thats all I got for now 
Take Care
Yes I want to be around for my 1yr. old grandson & sick of coughing & I know I've used that line "You can do it" while I was smoking UGH :)
Thanks for the kick in the *** though, I like your style.
