Great Progress
(It is important that you do not take these tablets without a prescription as they can cause
addiction
and need to be monitored through regular check-ups with your GP).

It is weird
I would much prefer doing morning and evening every day. it is really like an
addiction
isn't it? The fresh air, the peace, being aware of your body, the wanting to get there, to prove yourself you can do it...... It is weird.

Former Anorexic Still Recovering after 25 years.
It was like an
addiction
on to it's self. Thinking the number and estimating how much it is going to be and how small can it go. I was 78 pounds at my worst and I am 5'5". But I mostly hovered In around 82 to 83 pounds at the time. It was 25 years ago.

Lots of people "Beat themselves up" for being greedy but could it be, that genetically you're more susceptible to
addiction
and are struggling against what are essentially primeval urges.

Reset to Zero Monky
Just like previous occasions where I relapsed, I was long past the nicotine
addiction
& I wasn't "craving" a cigarette. I only wanted something/anything that would calm the turbulence I was feeling.

New Pathways Part 3
now some will build those pathways on food or alcohol or perhaps other drugs, but those of you who have read my posts before would be aware that I have deliberately avoided substituting one
addiction
for another, which has left a gaping hole with nothing but that 6 lane expressway to fill it.

New Pathways Part 7
If it were ALL about nicotine
addiction
, we would all have gotten by with no more need than 5-6 cigarettes a day to satisfy our dwindling nicotine reserves, so why 20+ per day. 3.

Is Vaping just you still smoking kind of?
I understand stopping the nicotine
addiction
is hard and opting to still have nicotine in your system by inhaling it threw vaper seems like a healthier option but nicotine is a poision and isn't ment to be in a humans system, so I say your still smoking and putting yourself at risk when your vaping,

4 MONTHS/124 DAYS SMOKE FREE
I was brainwashed by
addiction
to believe smoking was the answer to stress but I have come to find out it was actually a MAJOR cause of it. After that first month, my stress and anxiety levels were at the lowest I could ever remember them being.

Help comes in many forms.
This is, largely, nonsense, as the
addiction
portion of the drug is used up in the body to lessen the pain and assist in calming the mind. It is now a widely accepted fact that when the pain is controlled then the sources that caused the pain in the first place is able to be cured much faster.

Liver cirrhosis
Rather than a
addiction
I think it was a lifestyle. Although I now have diabetes, nerve damage to my feet and short term memory loss due to oxygen deficiency.

My final stop
I am so glad to be smoke free and when I start to romance that ciggie and think of all the good times I always go back to that image the one when I am standing outside freezing smoking stinking not enjoying that cig one bit but my
addiction
to nicotine made me do that and I never want to have that feeling

Plain Packaging approved by House of Lords!
Smoking is an
addiction
and it is largely taken up in childhood and adolescence. "The choice to smoke is not like other choices and is often not made as an adult decision.

WHAT DO I DO
Now, with all that weight off, it has become an
addiction
. I feel so much better, mentally and physically, without the dairy and wheat. I never had any desire to lose those 30 lbs, but now I'm terribly afraid of gaining them back.

The stages go something like this: As a child: You grow up in a stressful parenting environment (abuse,
addiction
, poverty, etc.)

Getting triggered at work
Beating myself up from " acting out" in a
addiction
yesterday again. I am mad at myself in looking back . The stress disorder was building up in me yesterday and rather than use new tools I had learned in emtional frredom tech I failed to use those tools and gave into cruising for lust again.
