The Law of Addiction



  
    
    &quot;Administration of a drug to an addict will cause
    
    re-establishment of chemical dependence
    
    upon the addictive substance.&quot;
  






  Smokers are often furious with me because they believe I caused them to go back to smoking.  Why do they think this?  Well, I have this
  nasty habit of making a really big deal any time a clinic participant takes one puff or maybe just a few... ]]>

Rosy:
<br>
 I agree. The way whyquit and FFN is layed out it makes it pretty clear that one needs to quit. I guess I milled aroung whyquit.com for about 3 days reading
till I made the sudden decision to give them up. I have been trying to quit and thinking about quiting for sometime. The way that it lays out the raw truth is
an eye opener. I think that people need to be shown the reality of smokeing and what it does to ones body. It jerked me right into reality that I may very well
die... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Just doing some revision on the Law of Addiction - some prep for the weekend.
<br>
I have a university degree but have always been wary of the value of this thing called getting  &quot;an education&quot;.
<br>
I have always had a huge respect for knowledge tho.
<br>
But the true Power of Knowledge has only really hit home when I found &amp; explored this site  - and then amazingly,  quit smoking!!!!!!!!

With Love &amp; Gratitude

			<description><![CDATA[ I really do believe this.  I finally get it.  I can not even think about just cutting back or maybe do smoking when I am with smokers.  I can not cheat myself
and take one little puff.  My addictive mind thoughts would have me going through withdrawl all over again and again.  I have made it through 8 days and 1 hour
plus 23 min.  Thanks to the first 72 hours that I counted down as each hour passed.  I know I am going to love being a non smoker.  Love to all, Robin ]]></description>

You&#39;re the boss now and you call the <img alt="image" src="http://whyquit.com/freedom/ImageLibrary/Recovery/r102.jpg" align="right">shots.  So long as zero nicotine enters your bloodstream you get to continue living

We may think that we can get away with just one, just once but

within 8 to 10 seconds of that first puff up to 50% of the brain&#39;s

a4b2-type nicotinic receptors will become occupied by nicotine,

part of me as far as I will always be an addict but I know I can&#39;t take not one puff or I&#39;ll destroy all I&#39;ve worked for and accomplished. Besides
it&#39;s a stupid thing to do to my body. I used to think I deserved a cig now I know I don&#39;t deserve a cig and/or nicotene in any form. It has no positive
effects or outcomes... ]]></description>

I&#39;m also into a long time quit and wouldn&#39;t consider the ridiculous notion of putting burning material to my mouth or any addictive chemical into my
body.  The thought is soooo stupid it pales all others.

However I still faithfully obey the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Law of Addiction</span> by never ingesting nicotine. Though happy as a former smoker I know better than to get too complacent.
