Me to!!!! I am still sitting here with the free patches and the script for Chantix and doing nothing. I am proud of you, I need to follow but I am (insert shitty excuse) scared. How sad is that?

For most people, Chantix really should help with the physical addiction A LOT. You'll just have to worry about figuring out what to do with your hands and the leftover oral fixation... Might I suggest some trident gum and a pencil?


Do not be scared... sure, you'll have to learn more healthy coping mechanisms but in the long run, I think you'll be happy that you decided to become a more well-adjusted individual.

So as of today, I've decided to quit drinking, possibly for good. I wonder if there's any meds for that. Ha!

Ah, nevermind.

You're dirty. I've GOT to start having perverts screen my posts before they get to you guys

Bah. You're not even trying. In 6 days, I could not smoke hundreds of cigarettes.

I don't.

ActionSatisfaction, I am very proud of you.

It is the truth my friends!! Read my blog on myspace if you're a friend of mine. It explains everything.

I think that is friggin' great! I'm very proud of you! I haven't consumed any alcohol for over 7 years now. You can do it! It is much easier than you think, and you will be very happy with the results.

PCE - your new avatar disturbs me greatly.

AS - Go make your own angst ridden "I'm quitting" thread.

No serious, if you feel you need to quit, all the luck and will power in the world to you. *hugs*

Posted by Opheliaism PCE - your new avatar disturbs me greatly.

LOL!

Now Ophie, you know that I fully support your quiting smoking. I'm betting that you are starting to feel better already.

Haha first and foremost, I have to agree that new Avatar is awesome porky.


And yeah, I've completely made up my mind to do this... I've been drinking way too much for way too long and I just think it's time to stop. I can drink in moderation just fine, but I think I just want to completely stop to get it out of my system. Anyway, thanks for the kind words!

I'll just photoshop an old, drunk guy over the top of you regardless.

I think you should continue to do that anyway. I think highly of you because of it.

Posted by Opheliaism Well, not wanting one as soon as I wake up is a first but I am still continuing to crave them throughout the day. I am still hibernating as to not give into going to buy some.

good for you for keeping with this! i know how hard it is.

i quit smoking mid-june this year, after several failed attempts over the past four years or so (i was quitting for others then, mostly, not for myself, and failed).
my advice is stay around positive people, preferably non-smokers so that you don't have any unnecessary added temptation, whenever possible.
for me, i still really want a smoke some days, especially when i'm stressed, because i too thoroughly enjoy smoking. but when i think of those things that you've listed (money, longer life, ciggies not smoked), it really makes me feel better that i quit. while i don't know the exact number of cigarettes not smoked or how much i've elongated my life, i do know this - i've saved hundreds of dollars so far.
i also take a lot of comfort in knowing that when i kiss my boyfriend he's not tasting gross ashtray-esque breath.

if you're really having trouble with it, and you feel you need something other than pure willpower, i do not suggest nicorette or the patch - nicorette made me feel gross when i tried it a couple years ago - i was on the lowest dose, but still got bad headaches from it, and after a few days (despite getting the mint flavour) it tasted like i was chewing cigarette butts. the patch, cut into quarters, so that they wouldn't be so intense, still made my friend have severe dizzy spells.
the best bet, from what i've heard, is the smoking-cessation drug, zyban. it is actually made of bupropion, an antidepressant used in the depression pill wellbutrin, that makes you not crave the smokes nearly as much - i know a few people who've had success this way.

either way, best of luck to you, and keep up the good work! *applauds you*
