I stopped smoking today after 8 years of smoking. will that hurt my body? -
i been a heavy smoker for 8 years. today i decided to quit, its been a hard day. everytime i wanted to smoke i made a push up exercise and that kinda helped me. but i-m worried about the sudden withdrawal of nicotin from my body. is it bad to suddenly stop smokig? will there be any permanent effect.Hi there and well done..I just stopped one day it was hard but I am so glad I did it. I am sure it does no harm at all. Your health will only improve from today. I am sending this link hope it helps. I used to suck a mint when I wanted to smoke and also I reminded myself that if I smoked now I would only want another in a few minutes....the craving Does get less. The benefits are really worth it. Good luck.http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/afterqui…
I had to quit smoking due to a facial paralysis. I understand that smokers never healed and got their face back, so this was the ultimate motivation.
So I quit cold turkey. It was kind of hard at first, but it was pretty amazing how fast I started to get over it, when I mentally pictured it like a toxin that ruins my body-s ability to heal itself.
It was like I conditioned myself. My perception of the stuff completely changed. Soon after I know longer needed a smoke during work. Soon after that I could be around other-s smoking, and be able to fight the urge (took a little willpower for that one), then I learned to fight the urge when I would be in a nervous situation (like a club, I get anxious in a dance club), then finally I was able to say no while drinking relaxed at a bar with a friend who had cigarretes.
Change your mental perception of the stuff...its poisonous crap. Once in a while I-ll relapse, and it really makes you feel like it weakens your body. Now I don-t crave one at all...its been 6 months. My energy levels are much higher now as well.
Good luck.
Absolutely not, there will be no permanent damage in fact quite the reverse, it-s all good from here on. You have stopped insulting your body with all those poisons so your body will thank you for it. You may experience a little weight gain if you substitute food for smoking so keep up the exercise also you might be a bit irritable at times but that passes. Well done youwell...depends on your definition of -hurt-...you-ll probably feel some negative side effects of quitting, especially right at the beginning like this, but i have a feeling it will get better, and the positive effects of quitting smoking far outweigh the negatives. stay strong!Sorry to deflate your balloon, but day one is nothing. Enjoy your cigarettes tomorrow. I believe even if you quit, you will still feel like a cig 5 years later.
