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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      Well if we are being realistic doesn't what you just lined out already tell us where we are at? If the rookie UDFA kicker was the savior more often than not and we had a bottom 5 offense despite us having a #1 pick behind center who was billed predraft as a mini Payton Manning is that just going to magically change trajectory overnight with a tougher schedule added in? If we are going to repeat as division champions then it will be with the defense doing the heavy lifting. So keep adding to it.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Everyone keeps arguing all these teams have great TE's that made them successful. THATS BS! What makes those teams great is QB play and we don't have that. So again even getting a NON-INLINE TE who can run a fast 40 time isnt going to get us anywhere without competent QB play consistently. Which we don't have by a long shot. So honestly all these great teams have a TE argument doesnt hold water to me.  Mahomes would be nasty without Kelce, Lamar would blow you away without Andrews, does it help? of course any weapon will help but only if you have someone making those correct reads week to week. When we have that then I'd be all in on a game breaking TE but unfortunately we are stuck with one of the most inconsistent starting QB's currently in the NFL.  Not to mention all the TE's mentioned are COMPLETE TE's not just a receiving threat with drop issues which Sadiq does. Argue all you want but nothing will change that fact other than getting a consistent QB week to week in a Panthers uniform which doesnt seem to be happing anytime soon.

      They don't have guidelines for hand size for the backup QB.
