"And it's throwing up nicotine withdrawal booby traps. It has spies burrowing into your brain, saying, "You like smoking don't you, you need me."
Well of course you like smoking, that's why many smokers say, "I don't want to quit, I ENJOY smoking." And they do indeed, because they are addicted, and there is a great deal of pleasurable satisfaction in relieving an addiction by topping it up with a fix, and conversely to deny yourself that fix is painful.
On the other side, there's you, your mind telling you, No No NO — I want to be rid of all this, I don't want to be a smoker... but help!
So who's going to win? Who is going to be left? If you lose out to your chemical craving body, you will be taken prisoner again, and whoever heard of a free and happy prisoner?"
Great information continues at the website this quote was taken from The Ultimate Quit Smoking Guide: Nicotine Withdrawal at http://www.quitguide.com/nicotine-withdrawal.html.
I'm still reading through different parts of the website, but it helps to have a good understanding as to why it feels the way it does to quit and that it's NOT all in my mind. There are biological reasons for it.
