SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

Starbuck · 11-05-2011, 10:19 PM

Hello all, Starbuck here. I just quit 4 days ago, the first two were cold turkey. But I've since adopted nicotine patches, and let me say how excited I am that they work for me! Now if I could kick the weed habit too, I'd be all good.

Go you Starbuck. One addiction at a time huh. Get yourself a bong or nice pipe for smoking weed without tobacco for the time being.

I'm glad the patches work for you. You'll still need plenty of willpower though.

Just remember there are no reasons to start smoking again, just excuses.

Holler if you need support.

When I gave up I found it helpful to post about it pretty much daily (on another website), it was useful to write about it and what worked for me, what didn't and how I felt.

Good Luck Starbuck. Dig those heels in!

How you doing Starbuck? Keep the quitting faith!

I'm gritting my teeth because I want a cigarette right now. It's not time to change my patch yet but maybe that would help, weed didn't

Fuckin' go you...dig it in...you can crack the tobacco.

Lots of your weed intake is dependent on your nicotine intake for another day or so....get a pipe!

Course!

For a few days/weeks the weed won't work like it used to. Half of the high was to do with tobacco and it's other poisons.

Yanno, I really craved a joint today...I'm not gonna do it but I always aknowledge when I want to. No point denying the craving. Acknowledge and move on!!

You can do it!..dig 'em in!!

Dude, I will get through this. I just know it is the best thing I can do for me. Just one a at a time

I've relapsed in a big way. I've at least switched to lightes from regulars...not much but it's a start. I knew better than to take the offer of just "two" at the bar...that turned into half a pack! Ugh...now I'm in high gear.

I've talked to my doctor about getting onto Wellbutrin and Chantix, but he doesnt want want to switch me from my current antidepressant. I'm thinking, "well shit! What does he want me to do, keep smoking??"
