Good luck to ya!
Good for you dude, and good luck!...I think the important thing here is that you've made the decision to quit, whether it be with help aids or not, and ultimately when you do kick the habbit for good, what does it matter how you did it? As long as you did it.
...i should be following my own advice
oookay, does every fucking thread have to have an argument in it?!? andrew is quitting. that's all that counts. who cares *how* he is doing it...the fact of the matter is that he is quitting. There's nothing wrong with having a bit of help (such as the patch...or even moral support from friends). it sure as hell makes things easier. SO BE NICE AND STOP MAKING FUCKING MEANINGLESS ARGUMENTS!!!!!!! *muah* <3 
*runs and hides*
This is one of the very RARE times I'll actually agree with d!abolic, at least his first post (I didn't read the rest). Grow a pair, and quit like a man, not like a sissy girl needing "assistance" with everything. You started smoking with the knowledge that you'll eventually have to quit, and now you wanna take the easiest way out? Quitting was never meant to be easy, in fact, I'd recommend making it as hard for yourself as possible to remind yourself not to start again. The only way to wake up and realise how bad smoking is for you is to go through the hell of quitting, because once you actually quit, everytime you get the urge to pick up the cigarette, you'll remember the hell you went through to quit, and you'll put that cig down.
The human mind is a powerful thing. It can make the body overcome even the greatest of impossibilities. If you believe you can quit, you can quit.
P.S. I do not smoke, so my opinion is pretty much worthless. I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night though.

holy fuck totally missed out on this thread.
Anyway, I'll stick to what I posted.
Laser treatment.
I am not a smoker, so I do not have first hand personal experience.
I did know someone who did go through the treatment has not touched a cigarette ever since 20th Jan up till now [last i spoke to him].
It doesn't cost more than $100 and here is some information I randomly googled.

Andrew I wish you all the best with this
It isn't an easy thing. I am going through it myself right now. I have been smoking since I was a kid and honestly had many previous attempts at it and failed with all of them. But in all honesty, I can't stand smoking and it is really more of a habit or something to do when I am bored and with a little bit of pressure from a friend of mine I decided to quit finally (moreso my choice though of course). It has only been since May 1st, but I have gone without a smoke and at times it really bothers me more than others but so far so good.
And since I have gotten this far I don't want to give in to going back to it now even when I crave it the most or need it the most, only cuz I don't want to put myself through everything I have already gone through to not smoke.
So whether or not you are getting another form of help to kick the habit or not it doesn't matter.. as long as you have your mind set on doing this 110% you will succeed

| Originally posted by d!abolic It's not a battle. Put down the fucking cigarette. There. Now, move on with your life. Everyone i know who has quit (myself included), quit in this manner. This is the only way to do it. By using the patch, etc, you convince yourself that you're too weak to do it on your own. As a result, you either won't quit at all, or if you do quit, you'll start smoking again the moment a major crisis hits you. And it will. If you quit on your own, you will never go back because you'll have the: "i'm strong enough" conviction. If you don't, you'll go back to smoking, because instead of "i'm strong enough," you'll be thinking "i wasn't strong enough to quit on my own then, and i'm not strong enough to stay away from it now. I needed the patch to help me deal with quitting smoking, and now i need smoking to help me deal with this crisis. Just one smoke, i swear. I won't buy a pack. Well, maybe just one." So yea: cut the shit. Put down the cig. Move on. |
Holy cow drama! I love it.
ANother friend just decided he wanted to quit on the weekend, and actually just gave away his pack he had on sunday to another friend.
I think he can do it and will. that he gave away the pack is a very positive start if you ask me (i hope)!
All the best Andrew!! you can do it...
i know i have the will to quit, i just don't want to LOL

Only instead of shutting the fuck up, listening and LEARNING something, you're running around and screaming your ass off to keep yourself from thinking about how scared you are. Like i said, enjoy smoking. You're not gonna quit until you smarten the fuck up, kid. |

It's true about the withdrawal
You may feel pretty bad for a while when you first give up smoking because your body is 'with drawing' from it's addiction to nicotine. When the body is used to having high levels of chemicals in the blood and these are suddenly removed, the body sets up a whole load of physical symptoms, demanding that the chemicals be replaced.
The few times I tried to quit smoking, I had major hot flashed when I went to bed.
I am looking into the patch or some other form of quiting.
Okay.. I am not a doctor and I can only speak from personal experience...
I quit cold turkey January 11, 2004.
Part of the reason I wanted to quit was to save money.. so I tried the cheapest option first.. if it had not worked I would have opted to try any number of aid on the market..
Withdrawal was hell.. I hear it is worse for some than others.. but for me it was HELL. I actually thought it would be a good idea to video tape the first week and turn it into an after school special for high school kids. Show the cold sweats, the shakes, the random outbursts, fits of anger so on and so on...
Now comes the hard part.. mind over matter. This is truly a battle with yourself. Your body wants one thing and your head and ideally heart want another. You know you want the cigarette but you also want to be a non-smoker. The physical urge for a cigarette is very intense and it will be at its worst by day 3 and 4. If you can get through those it is up hill from there.. not easy but up hill.
You must have the will and want to be a non-smoker. If you don't have this nothing will work for you. The patch, Zyban, gum and any other aid may help you.. but in the end it is your will power that will make you successful.
It took me almost a year to feel better.. your body is fighting an addiction and trying to correct itself, give it time.. It took me 10 years to build up that addiction and I am thankful it only took a year to get over it.
This is something they fail to tell you in all the "quit smoking" literature. I thought I was suffering from serious problems and went to a specialist who advised me - it takes your body a good 12-18 months to truly get over the physical addiction.
The mind games are crazy at times.. but they do go away. I found doing things for the first time "smoke free" were hard... There are certain things I associated with smoking. However, once you do it for the first time, you know it can be done and it makes the second and third time that much easier..
After almost 2 and a half years.. I rarely think about lighting up and when I do.. I remember how awful quitting was and remember that I never want to go through it again..
