Effect of nicotine

The brain makes substantial progress in reversing tolerance-induced de-sensitivities within 72 hours of ending all nicotine use. Withdrawal anxieties will peak, begin to diminish and the worst will be behind you. But although the brain gradually restores natural sensitivities, somehow tolerance’s wiring paths become permanently etched into our brains.

Although we can arrest our chemical dependency, we cannot cure, permanently eliminate or destroy it. We each remain wired for relapse for life. It’s why nicotine dependency recovery is an all or nothing proposition. Just one powerful puff, dip or chew of nicotine and we will find our brain again begging for more. While this may seem like a curse it gradually becomes our biggest peace of mind. Once confident of victory, we know exactly what it takes to stay free.
