New quiting smoking thread Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I'm putting these SOBs down. It might not be today, but I'm doing it, and I'm not starting them up again. Anyone else want to quit with me and have a little support group thread?

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

As many of you know I'm going through a divorce. My wife's (soon to be exwife) boyfriend threatened me yesterday. Still I feel stronger than ever because I asked my wife if she could see his dick when he didn't have his cloths on or is he too fat. Hehe.

quit smoking

It's been 10 months since I started quiting, 8 months since my last cig.

I feel much better... except for today, I thinking I'm getting a cold.

Perhaps Winston will join you, he's always up to try and quit smoking

Thanx Dracon. I'm thinking about making a go for it tomorrow. I've already smoked two today. I still have to relax a bit from yesterday. I know cigs don't help you relax though. In fact they make it worse.

The cigs stop the cravings which give a ton of stress. So even though they are a stimulant, yes, they satisfy your addiction and so make things easier, less stressful. Only when you break the addiction will cigs add stress.

If that makes any sense.

Every cell in your body will rebel. Your mind will try to convince you that everything is going to hell and the particular circumstances are exceptional enough to require you to have a fix. Quitting is hell, be ready.

Yeah I know. I've quit a few times already and started back because of stress. This time it's going to be harder than ever. I can feel it. Maybe I'm not ready, but I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow.

I think this time it's a thing with my fingers. After I'm done with my cig I mess around with my fingers. I don't think I'm addicted to nicotine that bad. I've just restarted smoking again 4 months ago.

I'm always trying to quit. I want to quit this year. 2006 will be no-cigs year for me. That's the plan.

But a couple of nights ago I forgot to buy me cigs when I came home from work. I'm used to smoke a cig before I go to sleep. As a consequence, there I was at midnight driving to a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes.

When you feel the craving for a cigarette, smoke pot instead. It'll satisfy the need to smoke, you'll get high, and pot isn't addictive so it's easy to quit when you want to.

Also: lollipops, toothpicks, anything to play with and suck/chew on/move around your mouth.

I was on the patch for a while. The first stage was a patch that released twice the nicotine I got from the cigs that I was smoking

They kept me from smoking for a while, but when I went out drinking I started smoking again... so I was getting three times the nicotine I once did

Patches give you very very weird and vivid dreams.... like real life and incredibly lucid. I was dreaming that I was telepathically watching the cricket in the loungeroom from my bedroom, whilst telepathically conversing with my flatmate, who was in his bedroom, about the cricket. VERY weird. Another one was when I answered the front door from my bedroom in the middle of the night and the lady at the door introduced herself as an easter egg saleswoman. At that point I was filled with a sensation of such abject terror that I woke suddenly with a jolt in my heart as powerful as if I'd been revived by a defibrulator (sp?). I don't know why my subconscious found the idea of lady selling easter eggs so terrifying... but I certainly had trouble getting back to sleep.

My friend tried an interesting method. He smoked oregano and basil. It didn't work.

Don't take ajbera's advice - you'll be smoking 20+ reefers a day if you try and substitute them for cigarettes... which can't be good.

If you're like me you will just start up again when stress returns. I'm going to deal with my stress in healthier ways now.

Marijuana is a drug. It's addicting.
