Answer: As the body tries to adjust to the lack of a stimulant substance (including alcohol), within anywhere from six to seventy-two hours, it begins to exhibit several nasty symptoms. The severity of them can be affected by the degree of addiction and the type of abused substance. General reactions can include, but are not limited to, the following: * restlessness * muscle pain * bone pain * insomnia * diarrhea * vomiting * cold flashes * goose bumps * involuntary leg movements * watery eyes * runny nose * loss of appetite * irritability * panic * nausea * chills * sweating or rapid pulse Each drug can carry with it specific symptoms, but the ones listed above are pretty universal. Below are some examples of how symptoms can vary: Withdrawal from alcohol can also cause: * Sweating or Rapid Pulse * Increased Hand Tremor * Physical Agitation * Anxiety * Transient Visual, Tactile or Auditory Hallucinations or * Illusions * Grand Mal Seizures Cocaine withdrawal can cause these symptoms as well as: * agitation * depression * intense craving for the drug * extreme fatigue * anxiety * angry outbursts * lack of motivation * irritability * muscle pain * disturbed sleep Withdrawal should include a tapering off, so the body and brain can adjust to less and less of the drug. This can lessen the severity of the withdrawal symptoms. According to addictionwithdrawal.com, "Drug withdrawal should take place at an inpatient drug rehabilitation center. There the individual will be removed from the immediate access to drugs or alcohol. Drug withdrawal done at an inpatient drug rehab also provides the safety of medical supervision by trained professionals who are better able to monitor the Drug withdrawal process."

You don't suddenly stop the addiction. The addiction takes weeks. You can suddenly stop the nicotine, in which case you will probably experience headaches, jitters, ill-temper and a number of other unpleasant effects. We suggest using nicotine replacement -- preferably the patch -- to help you taper off to nothing over a period of a couple of months.
People who try to quit cold turkey are rarely successful, and you can't taper off on cigarettes. You need a supply that is controlled by something other than your impulses. The addiction itself will remain active until some weeks after the nicotine is all gone, and will be reactivated by the first few exposures to nicotine (if you're that stupid).

What moons helps you stop smoking?
The moon has nothing to do with smoking. Smoking is an addiction that happens because your brain is changed by nicotine so that it needs it in order for you to feel comfortable. You stop by removing the nicotine and allowing your brain to heal. There are a number of medications and methods to help (we like the patch system), but the phase of the moon is not an issue.
What are some common criticisms of the Stop Smoking Shot?
The Stop Smoking Shot is an injection that supposedly acts as a vaccine or cure for smoking and nicotine addiction. One concern for the Stop Smoking Shot is that it may cure nicotine addiction, but breed a dependency on the followup medication or the shot itself. The reason behind this is because the Stop Smoking Shot and followup medication block nicotine receptors in the brain, causing the user to not feel the physical need or craving to smoke. However, when the medication wears off, the receptors are open again and users may experience an urge for more nicotine or medication.
