Will We Ever Stop Lighting Up? Community Group
A place for people to come and share their stories of how they have quit smoking or how they are trying to quit and the struggles they face each day OR for smokers who just dont want to quit andor not yet ready. Both are welcome here. A non-judgemental place for smokers and non-smokers alike. Please feel free to discuss any topic you wish that pertains to smoking. Smokers...
The idea that smoking reduces stress is a myth. Smoking actually causes stress, physical stress to the body. It is also an addiction - nicotine is the most addictive drug there is. Nicotine deprivation causes psychological stress that adds to life's normal day-to-day stress. If you were to smoke, you'd only be reducing the nicotine stress; nothing would happen with the life stress. Plus, you would reactivate the addictive process and undo all the repair and healing that has occurred since you quit.
There is a community here at DS called Smoking Addiction and Recovery. There are a lot of successful quitters there who would love to support you. Won't you please join us there?
