Addiction

Another reason people become addicted to smoking is it actually makes the smoker alkaline for a very brief moment while they're smoking. This may be shocking to learn, but it's a truth that has yet to be uncovered by science. As the tobacco in a cigarette turns from fresh tobacco to burnt tobacco, a chemical compound develops. Once the chemical ignites, it goes straight to the brain and gives you a brief alkaline hit that's far more addictive than the nicotine found in cigarettes. Unfortunately, following this short wave of alkalinity, your body becomes incredibly acidic. As a result, you're likely to crave another cigarette soon after in order to receive an additional alkalizing hit.

the Cigarette Pack Trick

This trick includes high-quality chocolate, which isn't always the best food choice but may come in handy for people who are working to quit smoking. Take two packs of cigarettes, empty one pack entirely, and fill the second pack with a smaller amount of cigarettes than you normally smoke. Break apart a high-quality chocolate bar, and fill the emptied pack with small pieces of chocolate. Whenever you'd take your usual cigarette break and you feel an adrenaline rush coming on as you ready yourself for a smoke, take a piece of chocolate out of the empty pack and pop one or two small pieces into your mouth. Don't chew or swallow them right away, instead leave them in your mouth until they melt completely. Because nicotine is aromatic, if you've put the chocolate pieces in the cigarette box ahead of time, the chocolate will have soaked up some of the nicotine.

During your next break, you can have a cigarette from your box of fewer cigarettes. Keep both packs on you throughout the day, and continue to cut down on cigarettes at a pace that feels manageable.

Walking Off Your Smoking Habit

A second trick for quitting is to smoke only when you're walking outside. Because you're walking, you'll likely take fewer drags of your cigarette, so you won't be getting as many addictive hits of nicotine. You'll take in more oxygen because you're walking, and you may even experience greater calm due to the gentle movement. The adrenaline flooding your body from the cigarette will also be better used when you're walking as opposed to when you stand and smoke. Also, because it's a little more challenging to walk and smoke versus stand or sit and smoke, you may be less inclined to pick up a cigarette as frequently.

In sum, use these tips to quit smoking:

The Spiritual Side of Addictions

Negative spiritual energy can play a role in addiction. While you're fighting to overcome an addiction, it can be invaluable to call on some of the angels for guidance and support.

There are physical causes behind addiction that medical research and science are unaware of. For one, a deficiency of glycogen and mineral salts in the brain from a lack of glucose entering the brain (from fruits, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squashes, raw honey, coconut water), partly due to years of high-fat/high-protein diet, and a lack of mineral salts from sources such as celery juice and leafy greens in the diet to feed neurotransmitters. Also, an elevated levels of toxic heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, and copper inside the brain can contribute to or cause addiction on their own. Emotional duress can amplify or further deplete someone, triggering addictive impulses.

From these root issues stem countless possible addictions, including to alcohol, drugs, sex, food, diet soda, extreme sports, and more. When glucose levels in our body and brain are depleted, we open the door to a multitude of addictions, such as processed sugar addiction and alcohol addiction, and we set ourselves up for adrenaline addiction.

If no glucose is available, our adrenals begin pumping adrenaline into the body so we can function and get through the day. This adrenaline surge is commonly known as a “rush”. But these days, most of us are running on adrenaline all the time and we might not even recognize what's happening. Adrenaline is not only highly addictive, but it's also destructive in our bodies. It's not meant to be something our bodies rely on day in and day out. The stress and pressures of life, poor eating choices, and environmental toxins can all play a role in daily adrenaline surges.

Becoming hooked on the feeling of adrenaline (usually unconsciously) contributes to almost every addictive pattern, whether it's to drugs, extreme sports, anger, coffee, or anything else.
