Cigarettes

I'm getting real close to being done with these fuckin' things. I just hate being ruled by nicotine. There are many things that my smoking is fucking with:

1) My exercise routine
2).My endurance/stamina
3) My complexion
4) My desire to get involved with martial arts
5) My pride
6) My desire to pursue the sXe lifestyle

I just need to choose a doctor for my Medical Assistance and get a prescription for Chantix. I was thinking of trying the Patch first. It worked before but I certainly would like that magic bullet that Chantix seems to be. The easier it is to quit, the better.

I do know that I can't beat myself up over these damn cigarettes and that I gotta handle conquering my addictions one at a time.

Soon enough I'll be healthier and free from cigarettes. I just gotta be patient and determined.

 

Best of luck with quitting. It took me a few tries before I finally quit for good, I always went cold turkey though. I still will have one very very occasionally when someone around me is smoking. But it's been over 3 years now since I've officially quit!

 

I'm in that same boat man, all I need to quit now are the cigs. Good luck, let me know if you try out the Chantix. I been wondering how that works.

 

I grew impatient and just went with the patch. Popped it on last night so I wouldn't wake up with cravings. I still may look into the Chantix

 

I look forward to the victory stories so you can give me advice.I want to quit this winter sometime- just not right yet.........gotta get in a better place for it I think.....
LOTS of Luck!

 

I caved already. I was feeling VERY mean and nasty and wanted to punch someone/anyone. Not worth it. Maybe some other day

 

Yeah I tried to quit tobacco when I hit about 4 months and did the patchs, gum, and became addicted to those. So I went back to the tobacco. Not happy about it and I am giving it another go soon.

Procrastination is messing me up from forming a workout regimen, my body is outta wack.

Peace,
Seedless

 

You are not being ruled by nicotine. In fact, if you had nicotine by itself, you would still feel a craving for smoking cigarettes.

Cigarette smoke contains a few chemicals with mild MAOI properties. MAOI properties, coupled with nicotine, are why cigarettes are so addictive, but nicotine by itself is not nearly as addictive.

Good luck on quitting though!
