Ok, today is the first day of the rest of my life... blah blah blah. :|

I quit my nicotine habit 5 days ago and am about to kill or maim something. I need HELP! Seriously, if it hadn't been for the whole Minister of Boobies thing I might be in jail by now. I am calling upon you to help me stay the course and free myself from this monkey on my back. HELP ME!!:Q:frown:

 

[Hammer]

I would speak to the Surgeon General about this

 

[BigJohnKC]

Ever seen "Clerks"? Think of the cancerous lung at the beginning of the movie if you have any inclination to continue smoking. Would've worked for me if I had the habit....

 

[TuffGirl]

Have you considered getting a prescription for Zyban or Wellbutrin? I read they do wonders for cutting down the cravings or as in your case the urge to hurt small animals.

 

[aphex]

How may i be of assistance?

 

[fatalbert]

my recommemendation is to start drinking heavily

 

[Electric Amish]

Buck up, wussy!

Get yourself a pack of "Chewlies!"

 

[Azraele]

Try going out for a jog or a bike ride. Exercise releases endorphines, which produce a natural high. If that's not your thing, try going for a drive or engrossing yourself in a game.

GEEZ, this sucks... I really don't want to continue this bad habit anymore, but man, I really am tired of feeling like this!

Actually, just watched that again on DVD... it was part of what prompted my quitting.

See jfrag's sig

 

[Time2Kill]

<< What is MoB? >>



Ministries of Boobies as mentioned above...but I have no idea what it is

What you're feeling is temporary, it will get better. Hang in there!

 

[Fausto]

AphexII as surgeon general?!?! I'm the CDC employee, dammit! (no offense AII)

JFrag: you gotta look at the big picture. I used to work at the VA hospital here in ATL and watching these poor old guys wheel themselves outside and alternately drag on a cig and take a puff of oxygen reinforced my decision to never, ever smoke. I know someone will tell you about their great uncle who smoked and lived to be 98, blah, blah, blah but odds are if you smoke, it will bite you in the ass eventually.

And yeah, look into getting scripted for Zyban or something...no reason to suffer any more than you have to. Best of luck to you.

haha....well in that case...i would agree that drinking is the only way out.

 

[Hammer]

a nicotine patch might work.

 

[Yeeny]

I quit over a year ago, partly due to the support I received here. I made a thread, and people posted in it every day for over a month, cheering me on. And to be honest, I was too scared to come back and admit I failed, so I did it. Just remember, that no matter how bad the nicotine withdrawal is, dying from cancer will always be worse. Some cheery words to egg you on.

You can do it, just chew gum, avoid caffeine which increases nicotine desires, and avoid your normal smoking routine as much as possible. For instance, if you usually have one with a cup of coffee in the morning, don't drink coffee. Instead grab a glass of OJ and go sit outside to drink it. Good luck!
