Smasharoo 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Which is why I'm playing .25/.50 and not posting any project threads. I'm just killing time while the nicotine leaves my system. If it seems in chat like I'd like to hit someone in the head with an aluminum baseball bat, I'm pretty sure it's the withdrawl talking. Link to post Share on other sites
wrto4556 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Good luck.I've done it before. Quit for 5 months! So it can be done...er... Link to post Share on other sites

jonnyhockey 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 You been trying to quit since Dec. 22? Seriously though, good luck with that. My dad who's now 55, had been smoking for 40 years, and quit three months ago, and hasn't had one since. He read a book, honestly, that claims to have a success rate somewhere near 60%. Who knows, may be BS, but it worked for him.mp Link to post Share on other sites

akishore 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 good luck smash. my dad had been smoking since 18 and unsuccessfully quit twice (first time for a few weeks, second time for seven months or so), but finally quit around five years ago (when he was about 40) and hasn't touched a cigarette once.i remember when i was a kid, i used to take his packs and flush them down the toilet in order to "encourage" him to quit smoking, haha. his sincere regret of smoking is also the reason i've never touched a cigarette. so sincerely, good luck quitting. use the patch or the gum if it helps, i think my dad used the patch on the final attempt.aseem Link to post Share on other sites

wrto4556 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 ahhhhh.I hated the gum. I'd chew the hell out of it and go to sleep with a sore jaw. Atleast the patch just made me itch. I guess you have to try them both... Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyhockey 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 reducing the nicotine isn't the answer. gotta get it out of your system. your body will react the same way once it's gone, whether it was a large amout or small.'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking' by Allen Carr.

poguemahone68 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I've been on the patch since the beginning of the year. I started with the nicoderm CQ, but a friend of mine had me try the walgreens brand and it's soooo much better. Just moved down in milligrams and am sweatin it a bit, but I'm 36 and started smoking when I was 11, so it's definitely time to quit!It also helped my poker game, as I no longer run outside for a smoke after the blinds pass me, I can actually play late position now! lolGood luck smash!

aneurysm 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Sure you can. Most places have it.Seriously, if it's this or smoking choose this. As long as you have a willingness to brush your teeth a bit more than usual you will find no adverse affects. Though, it is unlikely you are concerned about health problems given you are a smoker.
