Life Quitting Smoking - Page 33

Frazod · 08-15-2005, 05:49 PM

Both the wife and I need to quit, and since we've tried to quit at the same time before, and THAT REALLY SUCKED, I took the plunge first.

Haven't had a cigarette since last night. I've quit several times in the past, sometimes for up to three months - quitting ain't the problem - it's staying quit that kicks my ass.

Any advice on non-smoking methods/products or encouragement would be appreciated.

Get a Dr to write you a script for Chantix- That is the be all end all of smokes if you really want to quit. It blocks the receptors in your brain that give you the enjoyment of a cig and gives you a headache. It also makes the cig taste like crap you can try to smoke on these pills but you will find that you dont want the taste or the pain that much.

Nicotine is a hell of a drug.

day 1 virtually in the bag, wasn't too bad

ate a shit ton of candy but it really wasn't that difficult, seemed like the worst part is when I would do something and in the past that would usually signal the beginning of the smoke break

I fought through it, and nobody was injured today

**ShortRoundChief** · 02-09-2008, 12:03 AM

1 week done

piece of gravy

another plug for chantix - all the smokers in my work area have quit by using this stuff. It apparently works great.

Bump · 02-09-2008, 09:59 AM

Read this, maybe it will help.

Bryan Lee Curtis died in April 1999 at the age of 34. His story, however, continues to save lives. Curtis, a mechanic, roofer and construction worker, smoked two packs of Marlboro cigarettes a day for nearly 20 years. He died of lung cancer just nine weeks after experiencing pains in his side, the first symptoms of a virulent form of the disease. He left a wife, a nine-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son.
