Quitting smoking? check in here

My doctor gave me this high blood pressure patch in 1990. The name on the patch was Catapress TTR. When individuals who wore this patch to help thier high blood pressure smoked they became very nauseous and would throw up if they smoked or stayed in area of heavey smokers for just a few minutes. I put it on after dinner at the station one night and went back out by the desk. Had to be four people there smoking. Ten minutes later I was sick as a dog from the smoke. Never had another butt. Four packs a day. There was a study on this and it never became a common treatment. Worked for me. Oh yah, no alcohol until your sure you kicked it.

I smoked for over 25 years. At the end I was smoking 3 packs a day. If I can quit, 15 years now, anyone can. But it isn't easy. I used Nicorette, gum and Altoids. You gotta get mad at the butts, product of an international drug cartel. They monkey with the tobacco to make it more addictive so you remain "loyal". I think the reason that Nicorette helped is that it was a "cleaner" source of Nicotine. Sorta tapering off the high octane additives. Then less and less until finally done. Then Altoids. Good luck you can do it!

Look at your watch , 1 second . 1 puff . 1 second of weakness . or 1 F it moment . I'll just have 1 . Your all done . Your mind will play tricks on you . You'll be smoking in your dreams . You'lll gain weight . You'll be a grouchy bastard.. and its all worth ,, Best thing I ever did for myself was quitting a 3 pack a day habit 20 yrs. ago . Its also the hardest thing I ever did by far . The physical part isn't as hard as the Mental . Its great not to be a slave to the tobbacco industry. Wait until your off the butts a while and a heavy smoker is in close quarters . Dammm , Did I stink like that smelly guy ? Yes you did ... If I can do it, you all can .. Just don't give in .. take it very personal .. Your in a fight for your life .. Good luck all ,, I'm pulling for you ..

Good luck guys I know you will need it, no mater how long I quit for I always end up smoking again, stress and life's problems is always my down fall.

You have a higher power ask him or her to remover the addiction and be thankful for what you have, Don't stress over the things you can't change.
