one of my coworkers is having good luck with Chantix

12/30/2007 11:53:22 PM

Need to quit, it's causing me some really bad problems lately.

Tried the patch, burnt a hole in my skin for some reason. The irritation just got too severe.

No cash for any fancy stuff though. >.<

12/30/2007 11:54:12 PM

I had great success with the "stop sucking on fags you fucking fag!" program.

12/30/2007 11:55:56 PM

Yeah, it's either smoking or sucking on penises.

I'd go for the latter of they were available.

AHEM.

LOL...You do know that you are not supposed to light the patch right?

12/30/2007 11:57:01 PM

I don't wanna quit. That being said, my options are limited so pick a day and we'll fire up the last one.

12 posts and no one has suggested that someone else, other than themselves quit smoking?

wow, I'm impressed



I fully support everyone's efforts to voluntarily quit smoking, should they want to

however, the second you say "you should quit too", I hope you fail and die of cancer

you are welcome to think "you should quit too" to yourself

or if someone directly asks you "hey should I quit?" you may answer honestly

but the controversy surrounding the allegations of public health socialist nanny-state bullshit

makes the disrespectful anti-smoking agenda fail, not to mention backfire



the audience of this thread isn't your spouse, child, or parent, so let's try to keep it free of anti-smoking nazism



that said, I would also like to remind smokers that it's possible to smoke without being addicted

perhaps not everyone is capable of this (we are not created equal, sorry)

but I only smoke 1-10 cigarettes per MONTH -- without ANY cravings

that breaks down to 0-3 cigs per week, or about 3-4 packs PER YEAR

which begs the question, "am I a smoker?"

I contend that I'm not, although I can certainly see how some may consider me to be one



for what it's worth, here's my advice (trust me, this is really good advice)

1) give up brand loyalty. (this is tough, but so is quitting altogether; it's all about "baby steps")

2) make a mental log of your smoking (1 in the car ride to work, 1 before and after dinner, 1 after sex, etc.)

3) do not tell your friends and family, "hey, I'm gonna quit!!!" It's none of their business. It's your personal issue

4) IMPORTANT: do not use [nicotine] gum, pills, patches, or drugs. some herbs are ok, if helpful, and hypnosis is fine

5) do not discontinue or reduce the time you spend at bars, with friends that smoke, or other alleged "temptations"

6) carry an unopened pack on your person (with matches) at all times. (see #5)

7) IMPORTANT: do not become discouraged if you don't completely quit right away; it takes time

8) OPTIONAL: consume entheogens in a controlled and safe environment, and envision yourself not smoking

9) do not hold an opinion that people (perhaps other than your family) shouldn't smoke. that's not your concern

10) don't set the goal of quitting completely until you are as "unaddicted" as I am, as described above (< 1/2 pack/month)




good luck!!!

^ troof

Confirmed cigarette junkies won't preach that other ppl should quit. That's a job for the militant type of non smoker

12/31/2007 6:57:02 AM

I have 2 cartons in my truck...when they are gone thats it.

Troop...that gives you about 4 days to get right.

12/31/2007 9:32:37 AM

BTW Callaway, I didn't light the patch. I had some type of reaction to the chemical.

12/31/2007 9:44:50 AM

good luck with that, here's to you no longer being weak

12/31/2007 10:43:35 AM

dude, just stop buying cigarettes. you'll feel like an ass for bumming them after a couple days and you'll quit on your own.

12/31/2007 10:49:15 AM

this time last year, i promised myself i would quit. I actually went over 5 months without a single cigarette, just cold turkey, then had one on my birthday while wasted. its been downhill ever since

im not sure i can do that again though

12/31/2007 10:56:48 AM

^hahah no shit??!?! you smoke cigs?

12/31/2007 11:29:43 AM

^I saw you eyeing my cig at the ale house on saturday afternoon (if that was you)

12/31/2007 11:37:00 AM

I used the Silk Quit meter, it's tough at first but gets easier. It helped me actually seeing progress, life saved, and money saved.

Chantix for 15 dollar bucks. Prescription is now in. Last carton is currently in use. Bring on the weight!

1/2/2008 12:02:13 PM

I have a tournament to shoot in this Saturday. I'm pretty sure I will smoke that day. Other than that I guess I'm ready as I'll ever be.

1/2/2008 3:50:44 PM

Crap... just looked at the calendar. My tournament is not this Saturday. It on the 12th. That may cause a problem. SOB

1/2/2008 3:54:32 PM

just quit now...it'll help with that double posting too.

1/2/2008 3:56:19 PM

want to quit? go for a run, and see how your body likes your habit.

1/2/2008 3:56:59 PM

Run??? LAWL!!!.......I don't run....cep't maybe if a bear was chasing me. And that better be one big mother fucking bear!

1/2/2008 4:02:42 PM

smoking is the least sexy thing ever. eww

1/2/2008 4:05:07 PM

I'm quitting so I can fuck better

I go days without one

but I still sneak a few on days that I'm working/studying
its that adderall script that gets me having a nic fit

1/2/2008 4:06:16 PM

i quit to have more money to spend on stuff like clothes and also to hopefully get more vagina

1/2/2008 4:10:32 PM

day 2. no cigs.

1/2/2008 5:07:21 PM

Ok...Other than the nausea and constant longing for a cig this Chantix stuff works really well

1/22/2008 2:40:49 PM

1/22/2008 2:43:51 PM

AHEM

1/22/2008 2:45:58 PM

OK, so four days after "quit time", I notice that my job is a huge hindrance in my goal. Driving long distances, at night, leaves very little other to do. At home, it's not nearly as much of a problem. Chantix seems to be woth it so far, considering how many cigs I put away prior to the 19th.

No nausea so far but there is still a craving...tho not completely overwhelming
