ORIGINAL: HatesParisHilton SF, up til Oct1 2008, I smoked a minimum of 25 fulls strength a day. I was happiest smoking between 50-60 (on New Years or Halloween I'ddo that, 2-3 packs in under 24 hours). I tried 7 times with various methods to quit, patches, gum, inhaler, wellbutrin (don't get me started), Indian Powders/Homeopathics, you name it, even a crappy ass Psych Hypno whom should have her liscence pulled. I have had only three cigs since then, 2 at the public hospital wre I was being tested then cut up a bit. I don't mond since some of the anti-smoking nazi double-standard whores that make people like you feel guilty were sneaking FIVE cigs under the surgical rehab wing. A pile of butts was three feet wide and one feet tall wehere they thought I and others could not see them. Hypocritical FUCKTARDS. Anyway, the only way I've had only three since Oct 1 is cold turkey. The recitivism rate for cold turkey is far less than with the nicotine replacement which is just a way for the same plantation owning Ticks (as in Lymes Disease) to suck $$ blood from you. They provide the nicotine for the patches and gums, and not for free. I think you are smart enough, strong enough and big hearted enough to make it without giving those bloodsucking invertebrate pieces of shit any more $$ for the crap they knowingly addicted us to, for life. And I love it when I can find a nice person like you on a board like this, and smoker to smoker, possibly help, by saying that, and meaning it, with no bullshit, nothing for me to gain, nothing to lose. Unlike the nic-replacement companies. Best to you, SavageFaerie, and I am sure you can make without helping the cockless, titless, clitless parasites. Thank you Hating, I had decided last year to quit on national quit smoking day, had alternative ways to help besides nico replacements. That very day my friend called a siad I had to come to her that she was having a mini breakdown and needed me there to walk her down off it, with the stress that blew that plan. I have cinnimon toothpicks for the keeping the mouth busy. I was ona nicotine patch in the hospital but they had me on the big dose which was more than I normally intake, I can say I didnt have cravings but coming out without being able to afford an alternative its been worse and my smoking has increased. Like I said before I can get down to 3 and Im working on that, a friend told me that the losenge is handy as you can just use it till the craving is over and wrap it back up until the next time, I do skip craving that take my mind off it so I can skip some. I hardly ever smoke a full one, and one can get me through 2-3 need to smoke periods, sometimes it just take 4-5 puff and im done. I am on 300mg of Wellbrutrin but that for my depression and it has been effective in reducing my cravings and done well for its intended use to help with my depression.. But to rely on it to quit entirely not going to happen. I have the stress of my b/d coming up and am planning to make an attempt after that, I have severe anxiety and that really inhibits those stress triggers and sends me off to smoke. One dr told me that with that condition quitting smoking will be a major undertaking. All I can do is try and since I dont need a full cigarette Im think the losenge will quickly make that fad along with the other things I learned would be helpful. One of the main things that helps to quit is I hae decided I DO want to quit, not so much for health reasons,, although my dad died of many conditions that were smoking related. To date, expecially after all the tests done at the hospital, with the exception of the pneumonia bout, at 50 (okay a couple of week from being that) they told me I was very healthy despite the smoking and I would like to keep that. I seem to have no inherited all the common medical problems that seem to be genetic. Its just so hard, and anxiety and panic attacks have been my down fall. Right now Im pretty stress free or will be after the evil day is over and hope that its enough with the help of my anxiety meds to get past that too. I love it when BP makes an effort to come in my room in the mornings when he is in down for morning snuggles and it just totally make my day. After 12 year of swearing of any attachment my need for touch is finally being met. Have I mentioned lately that I love poens cooking!!!! OMG she is amazing.
