  Just wanted to share with you all in case there is someone in the same boat that I was in. I've smoked for 30 years and am comfortable enough now to finally say I am smoke free!! And it's all thanks to a little pill called Champix! I call it a miracle drug because that's exactly what it was for me! You still need the desire to want to quit and if you have that desire and want a little assistance...check out Champix. It's bloody incredible!!  It gives ya weird dreams and dry mouth but that was the worst of it for me.

 

 

   Now I say...bring on the food  LOL!!  Hope there's a pill for that too cause I may need that one in the near future haha

WTG bro!!!!   i am a little over a year quit myself using Champix.... it is a fucking wonder drug i tell you. I hated smoking, hated the taste, hated the smell, hated the fact that i lit up within 2 minutes of waking up, but tried multiple times to quit using patches, and will power none of which worked for me. Then along came the miracle drug Champix... made Quitting seem like the most natural thing to do. I didnt get any side effects except for a bit of a dry mouth. a few of my friends have tried it, 1 or 2 quit successfully, a few said the pill made them almost crazy with weird dreams.

 

Watch out for the "Bring on the food"   i put on 40 lbs since i quit that i havnt been able to get off LOL

Congrats Newf, I also quit about 6 years ago and its the greatest feeling knowing you have finally kicked the habit. You feel better, you have more money in your pocket. Just remember dont even have one ever, it only takes one puff to get you hooked again. So dont waste all this time and energy you have put into this just to throw it all away.

 Thanks alot guys!!  I know not to have even one puff Rugger. I quit once before for 14 months and thought I could have that 1 puff and found out REAL soon after that , it was a HUGE mistake. Took me 6 or 7 years before I was ready to give it up again. Only differnce this time is I've learned from my past mistakes when I quit so I know for sure the habit is gone and couldn't be happier about it.

  Congrats Newf...I'm proud of you mate.  Drugs like champix do seem to work better on "nut jobs" like yourself...seeing that it's an anti-psychotic drug.  It really fucks up "us" normals so I went "cold turkey".  Except for the 3 murders and 2 assults, everythings fine 14 months later still smoke free.

 

  P.S.  You still suck!!!!!!!!!!!

instead of eating try gum? since it is a chewing factor and has flavor.... maybe that will help?

 

Never smoked a cig in my life but had family all around me who have smoked.... left their home when i was 19, 35 goin on 36 in a few days. I have asthma too... thank god i am free from them smokers!!!

Shit that is great.... Feel good about hat as it is a good things.The drug you are taking or taken is a psych drug reason for the dreams. It help rewire your nurve endings to curve the addiction. Most people it helps but like you said. you have to want to. I had another habit once and Tegratal fices it. I have never looked back but a few times. lol

 

For cigs... the money part is not a problem because I roll my own sokes (everyone thinks i am rolling pot but i dont look the type). $14 a LB and 100 papers are 1.75. Plus i helps descize the weed smell and I can care less about a smoke till i toke.

 

I quit for 2 years and my best friend came to town and we play a game (game last 8 hour minimum) from high school called stock market (better than monoploy) and we had a blast.... and I smoked half his back. That is all she wrote.

 

Point is don't give in to the temptations.... not for beer or a piece of pussy.. ok maybe pussy but nothing else. Dont get complacent as that will allow the triggers to make you smoke.

 

You can do it so do it.

go a head and toot your horn brother!!!!!! I have been smoking for 35 years, and it is killing me slowly. the doctor told me to quit of die. Dont think I have much of a choice now, I got Chantix now and have to give it a go. I have had to heart attack already and really dont want to die just yet. so please keep me in your thoughts and pray that I make it. I am proud of all who have quit.

Congrats !!!  I quit 4 years ago (Cold Turkey) and I can say, I dont even get the urge to smoke.  After the 1st month of quitting the "urge" was gone for me.  But I was a less than a pack a day smoker.   I quit because I had just had my 6th neck surgery and wasnt allowed to drive and my wife would not get me any !!!!!  She was my "Cold Turkey" !!!!!!!  Still Is !!!!!!!  :)

Good job Newf.I quit myself about 5 years now.I smoked for 30 plus years.I've quit twice before once for 1 year then once for 2 years.Both times i started to smoke after just one or two cigs.So whatever you do if you want to stop you cannot have another smoke or I'm telling you you will start up again.All times I did it cold turkey.My wife still smokes and so do a few of my buddies but it doesen't seem to bother me.But I still like my weed daily but at least it's not 25 joints a day.LOL GOOD LUCK
