I think I'm the most weak-willed person on the planet.

This worked like a fuging champ for me after 18 years and 2 packs a day.

  • Go buy a box of patches.
  • Pick a day to quit.  Say next Saturday.
  • Get up Sat Morning and have your regular smoke.
  • Go take a shower and slap a patch on.
  • Don't smoke that day. I used McD straws cut in half to satisfy the oral fixation.
  • Take the patch off before bed. (they give you VERY vivid dreams)
  • Get up Sunday and have your morning smoke
  • Take a shower and slap a patch on
  • Rinse and repeat until the pack you have is gone.
  • Then use the patch until you don't need the crutch.

I quit on one box of patches and have been quit more than 10 years now.

Chantix?

Tried that and it gave me horrible nightmares...bad enough that it would wake me up 2 or 3 times a night...and I already have sleeping problems as it is.

The thing that gets me every time is that it literally l feels like I lost a loved one.  I know that sounds stupid but it depresses me somehow when I go without for a day or two.

I'm really not very qualified to speak on this, but have you tried not buying them?

I would think not having them around would be easiest for me. But what the hell do I know?

Best of luck quitting.  I am in the Operating Room everyday and see very sick people as a result of smoking. It is so bad for your body, and you will have to deal with miserable life threatening diseases for the rest of your life.

I wish you the best of luck!  Stay strong!

Here's what I did. Buy one last pack of smokes, hard pack. Open them and pull them out halfway. Take a small piss and dunk the filters in the toilet. Put them back in the pack and keep that pack with you. The small piss keeps the stink off them. 

I could stay away from buying another pack and since the only pack available to me had piss on them, I couldn't get past that mental block. Took a few weeks of breaking the routine, but my cravings were gone in a week.

I tried stopping many times and finally quit for good the day my wife and I found out we were having a kid. Smoked for 10+ years and that was 3 years ago. Now I despise it and the smell. I've gone on weekend bachelor parties and drinking binges and never even thought about it..which was my kyrptonite when I quit before. I had a reason to quit though...what is yours? I also thought of myself as a nonsmoker as quitting was an easy excuse to start back up. I leveraged some gum to take the edge off in the AM, post meals, and while driving.

Now I need to take the same approach to my weight and just fugging do it.

LOL that's something I've never heard before.  I may get desperate enough to do that but I'll probably just end up with piss on my lips.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
