Question for those well read in this quitting process.....
OK, last night, after the 2nd margarita (Yes, I knew better) I started feeling so God awful with withdrawals. My questions regarding drinking and nicotine are:1) As I am on the 14 mg patch right now, my alcoholic laided, acid urine pulled all the nicotine out of my system. I assume this was the problem?2) Once off the patch, with no nicotine in my system, this problem should stop then,quit smoking now, right?3) If it's true that drinking pulls the nicotine out of our systems via our acid urine, then wouldn't we want to drink during the first three days when going cold turkey? Get the nic out quicker... sort of like the water bit does?4) Nicotine isn't what's addicted. It's our blood, our organs, and systems that are addicted to the nicotine... otherwise,smoking cessation, after those 72 hours and the nic out of our system, we would be cured.... but we're not.It's our systems that have to get in balance, back to basic, back to life without the nicotine. Right? So WHY then do we put so much focus on that "Oh, 3 days, 72 little hours, and all the nicotine is out of your system!" Like at that point, we are cured???? Obviously, we're not, so why so much focus on that? Yeah, it's good to know that the poison is out of our body. How's about "Great, the nicotine is now gone from your body and your system can now begin to get into the balance it should be in. We can then maybe start looking at the "withdrawals" as symptoms of our bodies getting back to "basics"; healing - like a scab itches. This might change our thinking in so many ways - NOT a withdrawal, a healing. NOT life forever withdrawling and wanting a cigarette... everyone knows that bodies in most cases, eventually heal.Your thoughts and articles, please?
