Hi everyone,I didnt mean to get everyone riled,I posted this about Chantix before I went to work so I couldnt join in.The reason Im trying Chantix is because unlike (I think) most of you I also smoke.Can you imagine trying give up both of them?Ive tried everything,patches,gum,fake chew,candy,gum,if I could just find something that would take the edge off,patches didnt do it,Im aware of the horror stories about Chantix but im desperate,I lost a brother in law and a superviser to lung cancer,and another ex coworker who chewed has throat cancer,I feel now I have to get drastic and more than ready to take a chance with this stuff,not every one has the bad side effects with it so im hoping im lucky,glad i found this group.
I'm not a professional...but I am a quitter. Whatever the vets on this site tell me to do, I follow it.
They told me to quit cold turkey and sweat it out. Prepared me for suffering and supported me through it.
I post roll every day and I have numbers and chat.
My personality is on or off. Hot or cold.
To me, weening is like kissing your little sister....what's the point of it?
So my perspective you either get a nic fix or quit.
You have all the reasons to quit and all the excuses to fail. So I think two things.
First, You will only quit when you really want to. Right now it is logical to quit. Quitting isn't about logic, it is driven by emotion. You and only you must want it.
Second, smoking and chewing, you are an addict. Emotionally you have to break up with something you live with and love. It is hard but weekend visits only makes breaking up harder. Flush it and say goodbye. The addicted mind will play games. Nicotine was my private pleasure. It was my me time.
After being clean and sober 50 days....
I despise nicotine! I spent a lot of time reading up on the harlot of lies in a can. She is a terrorist organization killing 3million people annually (worldwide). That is roughly the size of Houston tx!
My habit adds up to 42,000.00 spent on that shit. I caused me to lie and go back on my word. It is down right evil. It sickens me how they target 6th to 9th graders to replace those that quit or died.
I hate that I still crave but posting roll keeps my quit protected.
When I flushed poison on March 14th. I knew that was my real quit. First time it was me that desired to be done and break up with the nic bitch!
So let's stop talking about the ways to quit. Let's start at the beginning...
If you were all alone in this world. Would you still want to quit? If no, you don't want to quit for you. If yes? Why do you want to quit?
