Ok so usually im bored and just sit around and smoke. I typically smoke like a pack a day max.
So i got that nicoderm patch, that you wear on your arm.
I didnt think it would work at all, but i have to say that after 5 mins of wearing it, i didnt want to smoke at all.

Then today i woke up, and felt like shit. I was dizzy, stomach hurting, fat headache, and my eyes werent working correctly.
I did some research, and apparently nicotine withdrawls are pretty bad. But then i put another patch on, and it went away.

It is really weird how good it feels to not smoke, i dont feel tired all the time, and i can actually think straight. I never figured that smoking cigs had those effects on people.


Weird huh?

so the patch works? i was thinking about it, but its expensive...one patch is supposed to be equivelent to 7 cigarettes...yeah, recently i cut back on caffeine and nicotine...feel like shit, snap at people, have headaches, and cannot wake up in the morning...maybe i should look into the gum or patch...

Stick with it man! Damn it sucks so bad quitting, but once its done life gets better. For me the withdralws where eaiser to deal with than life two weeks later. Then I realised that I needed to adjust my lifestyle. I stuck with my old smoker schedule and found that I had an extra 10 minutes before and after everything I did. That was when the serious mental cravings kicked in.

Thanks guys.

Its super weird i walk outside, and go into the garage, and i dont even think about lighting a cig.


I would strongly recomend the patch over the gum, from the research i have done it is easier with the patch.

good for you, smoking is bad. i never started and im glad i didnt
some of my friends, after not having a cig for a day look depressed as hell
i dont wanan be like that and plus it saved a shitload of money
money you can now spend on your car, that is when you stop buying those patches

ya man, I tried quitting, then went to Europe. And came back and my lungs hurt like hell right now. So I am in the process of quitting again! DAMNIT! Im good not smoking at all for a while, and then I have a drink or 2, and then BAM! A fucken cig teleports into my mouth somehow..

Quitting smoking out of a regular days schedule isnt the hard part, its quitting smoking when your drinking!!!!

Good luck to you guys that quit, and also pray for me too =/

so its a bill for a month program, how long are you suppose to use it before the cravings stop? that would explain me yellin at people, not wanting to wake up and falling asleep in class, i just blamed it on the boring as lectures, guess not

blu808
03-21-2006, 10:54 PM
Yea. it decreases the amount of nic supplied over the weeks. should take a month or less.


Or you could just go to jail for a few months.
That seemed to work for me back in the day.

But jail isnt as fun.

Andrew Bohan

at a pack a day, cigs are $150 for a month program.

OdessaS13
03-21-2006, 11:05 PM
hmm, so i read insturction on their site
10 cigs or less start with step 2 week 1-6 = 3 boxes = 120$
then step 3 weeks 7-8 = 40$
total 160, soo yeah i think imma head over to costco this week
it was one of my new years res's but didnt really hold to it :-/

how does the patch work exactly

Your body absorbs the nicotine in the patch through the skin. It keeps the drug withdrawals at bay while you work on breaking the physical and mental habit of smoking.
For me that was the hard part. I went cold turkey and it sucked, but the activity of smoking is what was so hard for me to get over.

I quit almost 6 years ago and I still want to smoke. Especially when I drink liquor!

i need to quit, i stink from smoking, my wife hates it, and i spend a lot of money on ciggs. Some things just go hand in hand with smoking like working on cars or drinking, so it's hard. I quite once during boot camp but i really didn't have a choice. I think you just inspired me to quit. Thanx and good luck

DrtyRat
03-22-2006, 09:40 AM
I quit smoking for about 3-4 yrs once(I don't smoke any more) and I realized the one thing I missed more than anything was the relaxing feeling of holding that cig in my fingers, taking in a deep breath of smoke, slowly releasing it, and then flicking the cig. I missed the regimine of smoking, and to this day if I see someone smoking I still want one. The most important thing to remember is that once you are addicted to something you are always addicted to it. Your body will always want the nicotine so don't ever think you got it beat....Good Luck!

man, its so hard...i was approaching the office today and theres a back way which goes straight to the elevators...then the main entrance which passes by the ashtrays...i was in a moral dilema with myself! it must have looked so queer cuz i was walking towards the back way then all of a sudden i would head to the smoke spot and back and forth and back and forth...finally found myself puffin on a mild... =( its so hard...

i read an interesting study where scientists and psychologists made some discoveries about DNA and brain chemistry...basically rationalizing for smokers, crackheads, alcoholics, the obese, etc...they made the conclusion that some people are more prone to be addicted to an external substance...and when you are addicted, its basically over...like its programmed in your DNA and brain to be an addict...and we all know that cigarettes alter your brain chemistry dramatically...so if your a "natural addict" added with the addiction that cigarettes cause, i guess youre fucked...sounds a lot like me...hence, some people saying quittings easy and others impossible...

gawd dammit, okay, im done...props to anyone that can or has quit...i just wish someday i can too...keep on truckin' luke...

RBS14
03-22-2006, 03:56 PM
The interesting thing about cigarettes (the nicotine at least) is that they are not chemically addictive. Nicotine is actually a toxin to our bodies. The only addiction people have to cigarettes is mental. Not to say it's not a valid addiction, they can be more powerful than many chemical addictions. The Nicotine from cigarettes is flushed out by your body within 3 days of quitting. This is contrary to popular belief, but it's true. Real chemical addictions are to substances like opiates. If you've ever seen someone trying to quit heroin, you know what I mean.

Keep it up Luke. I smoked in Highschool, but I'm glad I quit. The only time I smoke anymore, is a cigar while I golf. There's just something extra relaxing about smoking a good cigar while I'm on the course. I hope to never go back to cigarettes though. I can handle cigars because I don't smoke them very often. I only get to golf every couple of weeks or so.

a thread I can actually chime in on..

Good shit blu808.. Keep up the good work

I quit smoking sometime in mid Jan. I tried to quit on New Years, but I was too drunk and I still had half a carton left. I've been smoking off and on since 1998. Some years I smoked more than others. I remember once I smoked about 3 packs in one day. Crazy..

Anyhow.. smoke-free. feelin' good.

blu808

blu808
03-24-2006, 03:18 AM
They say if you have any added nicotine it will kill you. They say it will give you a heart attack.

So yea if each pack is equal to 8 cigs then it prob would.

status report folks?

As for me, still smoke-free and feeling good. I had a few close calls but I managed to overcome 'em. I realize there are a few things in life I love and when I smoked, it was something I loved. Theres nothing like the smoothe rich flavor of a cigarette while on break from taking bullshit from retarded customers.

Anyhow, I found something more satisfying than smoking. It may sound a bit crazy, but I run 21 miles a week.

I quit smoking in mid-Jan and started running in Feb. It was grueling and painful to say the least. My lungs were fried and my muscles were as flabby as wet noodles. Pushed through Feb, March, April, and I'm crusing through May and I'm going to turn it up in June. So far so good.

Maybe next year I'll run a marathon.

It was great with me for a few years. But once your body starts to fail, things start to suck real fast.

i quit once for a whole six months about a year and a half ago (i was smoking bit over a pack a day and it was obviously not doing anything good for me).

Just to see what it would be like, and at the end of the six months i was supposed to reevaluate if i was to continue nicotine free or start again.

that shit was fucking ridiculous.

needless to say i started again at the end of the six months.

Ah, good for you man. EVERYONE I hang out with smokes, besides my girlfriend, which sucks because I have asthma. I always end up smelling like doo doo every friday and saturday nights. I should just sneak a patch on all those fools.

Keep it up man. Posi rep for keeping it up this long!

Tried quittin with the gum a few monthes ago, it failed to the max, so im smoking again, ill give the patch a try.

But what sucks is the friends around me tend to chain smoke voraciously, i probably need to disassociate.

Thanks guys.

Its super weird i walk outside, and go into the garage, and i dont even think about lighting a cig.


I would strongly recomend the patch over the gum, from the research i have done it is easier with the patch.

Yes but you will be on the fucking CHIP with nicoderm. That stuff will get you riled up!

Yea. it decreases the amount of nic supplied over the weeks. should take a month or less.


Or you could just go to jail for a few months.
That seemed to work for me back in the day.

But jail isnt as fun.

Hahaha...I always manage to smoke in jail :D

and get drunk off prune.

I know this thread is hella old.

but congrats man...I used to smoke like 2 packs a week. and quit.

Took the gum.

amoking sucks so very much. ive been smoking for years now, and I really do want to quit. I tried cold turkey, almost killed myself and a few other people. I tried the gum. Too expensive. So now im just cutting back, seeing how long I can go without trying to shove a prybar into a coworkers face after Im told for the 20th god damn time in a day to run to the warehouse.

Cutting back slowly works man, at least it worked for me. When I when cold turkey, I didn't have mood swing or any of the withdrawal symptoms. This is without gums, patches, or any medications. Good luck.

I go through like a pack a month, lol.

Used to be a lot more back in college, but now it's just once in awhile. It's definitely improvement, as I no longer feel like shit all the time anymore even though I remain pretty seriously out of shape, at least from a cardio standpoint.


Honestly that's really what made me give up smoking on the regular, was that it just made me feel like shit all....the.....time.
