3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months - The Icky 3's.....
3 Weeks
Psychological Withdrawal
At three weeks, we've gotten through the shock of physical withdrawal and we're just beginning to tackle the mental side of
nicotine
addiction
. This turn of events triggers cravings to smoke anew for a lot of us.

First time ever experiencing anxiety while quitting smoking...
Hi I just quit smoking 2 weeks ago & have been having bad anxiety attacks at night, during the day I feel fine, but as soon as I start to doze off I awake with a flushing sensation, racing heart (anxiety?). At first I thought it was from nicotine patches, tried sleeping without but kept happening. A

Tolerable pain, horrible brain
Hi all, this is my second post. I think this forum is amazing, not only for people with diagnosed conditions but also undiagnosed worriers like me. I recognise my worries pale in comparison to those with confirmed problems and my heart goes out to those coping with liver conditions. I have been in

Is sugar the world’s most popular drug?It eases pain, seems to be addictive and shows every sign of causing long-term health problems.
Sugar does induce the same responses in the region of the brain known as the “reward centre” as
nicotine
, cocaine, heroin and alcohol.

Hope for slowing or halting PD: 5 repurposed drugs that are in clinical trials that show very strong promise
There are 5 Repurposed drugs currently being trialed and 2 (Israpidine and Inosine) are in Phase III. Those involved in a trial, or involved outside of a trial, can offer valuable feedback- Israpidine, used to control high blood pressure with a calcium channel blocker, can cross the blood brain barrier

Almost a month
Hi all. I can't believe I hit the one month mark here on Saturday. Who would have ever thought I would have done it? I certainty didn't. How do you change a habit of twelve years? A lot easier than I thought. Once I got past the initial couple of weeks the rest seemed to fall Into place. I still have

Over a year now without cracking.
However, the Royal College of Physicians’ 2000 report on
nicotine
addiction
states that 'Cigarettes are highly efficient
nicotine
delivery devices and are as addictive as drugs such as heroin or cocaine.' I've seen heroin addicts in city streets. I've watched documentaries on the TV about them.

Nicotine patches
Have anyone heard about therapy by nicotine patches ? The protocol was invented like 10 years ago by a French neurologist, Dr Gabriel Villafane, working in a university hospital near Paris. Numerous patients are extremely happy with it, say it's remarkably efficient, but the other neurologists in

Nicotine - 'Premier League' of addictions
I got me thinking about how
nicotine
addiction
compares to others and wanted to share mine. I wont go into details, but over the years I have dealt with a number of other addictions of 'harder' substances. For me personally, quitting nicotine has been the hardest by a mile.

Sense of loss
It was only for a few moments before I started thinking normally again, but it just goes to illustrate just how powerful
nicotine
addiction
is that its sudden absence can have that kind of effect - I literally conflated giving up smoking with loss and grief! Anyway, 4 day mark; still winning.
