Greetings fellow T-Netters,
This may be a dumb idea, I don't know guess we'll see. I want to dedicate this thread to people who smoke and would like to QUIT smoking. This can be a 'stop smoking support thread' for those of us who may need some extra support to make it a success. Many of us here at T-Net are just as close as we are to our own families, and maybe someone could get a good use out of this. I recently viewed a thread which talked about cigarette contents, and boy did it really get me thinking. If you used to be a smoker and were successful at quitting, please chime in and let us know how you did it and what worked for you.
I started smoking when I was 18, gave into the peer pressure of the college influence I guess. I currently smoke about 3/4 of a pack/day and have tried to quit a few times, but nothing successful. When I was younger, it didn't seem to bother me as I was still very active in different sports. 14yrs later, and I wake up feeling like crap every single day. There are so many reasons I want to quit, but for some reason this addiction has over-taken my will power. I was prescribed Wellbutrin last year to help me quit, and while it did allow me to smoke less I never truly quit. Quitting cold turkey makes me have a very short fuse and get a bit looney after 3 days. I'm thinking of the Chantix (sp?) and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it, and what to expect as far as any side effects.
Anyway, my hopes are that this thread will be helpful to at least one person and hopefully many more. Let's hear what you have to say, and maybe we can all find success in quitting.
