One thing I have noticed is that those of us that are already in a vulerable position for brain chemical imbalance (for instance, in perimenopause or menopause) seem to have a harder time with the depression and anxiety. I really think that the withdrawl confuses your brain chemistry.

Absolutely Shevie, being mindful of our emotions is just part - as you said somewhere else, we also need to rebuild our healthy reward pathways and as others have said we need to replace smoking memories with non-smoking memories. Rereading this it sounds like I do nothing but focus on this quit process. lol. Not at all. But I find that it does nicely fill in the time that I used to spend smoking! Plus I'm really fascinated.

Thanks Josie, I'm really interested in how the mind interprets physical imbalances. I find, for myself, that it's better to look at the depression/sadness etc that comes with quitting as a function of physical changes, rather than feeling trapped and helpless. And I'm only talking about the quit emotions - not anything else that someone might have going on for them. I am reading that it pays to be as clear as possible when posting here. :confuse: Thanks Mama, I was interested to read that, I've also read that the success of women quitters can (depending upon the individual) depend upon where they are in their hormone cycle when they start their quit. I don't think that we are stuck with these chemicals for life. Our bodies are amazing in their regenerative powers. My point for starting this thread was to encourage people to tackle their quit emotions more umm (clinically might be the right word) rather than responding to painful emotions with panic or despair or sadness. I have experienced getting bogged down in emotions that have a root cause in the physical. And it is very important to note that the main causes for depression are helplessness and hopelessness. Please try NOT to feel helpless or hopeless about the crazy quit emotions. That will only add to the problem. Try to take a step back and observe from a distance what is going on. Easier said than done, I know. But give it a go. cheers :) Alison Kick the Herb to the Kerb [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/16/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 36 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,103 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $450 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Hello fellow travellers! These are some thoughts about cravings that I am going to add into the mix! I�ve had education in this area, but I�m by no means an expert, so please take my thoughts with a grain of salt. If my ideas are meaningful for you, that�s great. And please bear with me as I haven�t articulated these thoughts yet and I�m just feeling my way through them. It is a matter of record that some people on this site have reported cravings at the one month mark, at the one year mark and at other different milestones. Other people state that they haven�t noticed anything of the sort. Viva la difference! All people are both wildly and subtly different in their physiological and psychological make up and the connections between the two. And your innate individual starting point is further altered by experiences, exposure to different chemicals and habituation to situations. As a part of these differences, it follows logically that the interactions between mind/brain and body are also different for different people. What started me thinking about this mind/body linkage is the fact that over the last few days (one month into my quit) I�ve experienced some very powerful, physical detoxification symptoms. I won�t go into details! I guess that the first rush of chemicals was out of my body in the first couple of weeks, and maybe I�m going through the second wave of a slightly different range of cigarette chemicals. Noxious #@%#ng stuff! Now, here�s my thought. Depending upon your individual makeup, could mental/emotional cravings be created by a physical detox from cigarette chemicals? Your body experiences a certain level of distress with any detoxification, and your body is not stupid. It knows that the original imbalance is caused by cigarettes, it got it�s �fix� from cigarettes every time it felt unbalanced (craving) when you were a smoker. Now that a natural, healthy balance is being slowly restored the body has moments of distress (perhaps especially during a detoxification process) and craves the poison to get it back to it�s habitual unhealthy balance. After reading all the posts and experiencing my own, as yet, short quit, I believe that we will have to detox from these chemicals for some time to come. The crests of detoxing (Eg one month, thr

You are definitly on to something here, Alison. This indeed might even be one of those X-Files! I have seen people go back to smokeing after 10 years knowing full well that there is no good reason to do so. I was thinking along the same lines only a few days ago, as a matter of fact! Why, if araenic remains in your hair and nails forever, lead, once it is in your body...........has been proven to have an accumulative toxic effect, repeated exposure to asbestos, coal dust and now possibly microwaves and all of the other "waves" we are now exposed to could be cummulative and possibly toxic, does aluminum in our toothpaste contribute to Alzheimer's?...............is it so far fetched to think that this demon as we call "it", could possibly be a certain chemical which will remain with us forever. Only by behavior modification can we realistically keep "it" in check? Many interesting theories , Allison.......would love to hear more. So, many new dicoveries , everyday about our DNA and what might possibly be etched there. Good News is that the mind is still a powerful intrument and we do have control over what our body does...............IF ONLY IT WOULD LISTEN!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US AS WE SOLDIER ON IN SEARCH OF FREEDOM!

Great thread, Alison. [quote]My point for starting this thread was to encourage people to tackle their quit emotions more umm (clinically might be the right word) rather than responding to painful emotions with panic or despair or sadness.[/quote] That was the very reason I became interested in the neurochemical aspects of addiction. It helped to know that what I was feeling was based in brain chemistry and its response to the absence of nicotine. It also helped to know that there was something proactive (rewards) that I could do to aid in my recovery instead of just waiting in an agony that had no apparent end. This is quite interesting. I'm looking forward to others' inputs, too.
