- Thread starter EZmoney
- Start date
I quit without patches or pills....No withdrawls, no weight gain..no problem.. don't ya just hate people like me?
.. BUT booze is another story
.. BUT booze is another storyYes you really do require the desire to quit. If its something someone else just harps on you about and that's why you're trying it probably won't work.
And yeah the Chantix does have some really scary side effects and even when taking the stuff I kept reading enough horror stories that almost made me stop. All of us who took the drug here never even finished out the script. Only the first month was needed, hell I even tossed away the last weeks worth cause I didn't need them. Always read up on anything you're going to take doctors are idiots too Oh and just start reading up on the side effects of smoking..... or go do some hillclimbs in your running shoes like you're a kid....... then you can compare which side effect scares ya more

I quit a couple of years ago. You really have to have the incentive and want to quit or it will probably be unsuccessful. I had quit a few times before, but always started back up. When I successfully quit I used the pill, Wellbutrin. It is the generic version of Zyban. It worked great, and gave me that extra help to kick the habit.
To be honest, I could light up a Marlboro today and there is no doubt in my mind that it would be so good.
I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss smoking, but my family is way more important so I stay off the smokes.

Well I quit smoking about 5 years ago but have chewed for all but 3 years of the last 15.(Yeah redneck I know) I had quit chewing about 4 years ago and started again about 1 year ago. I'm in after my next can is gone. I guess it's time to go to Sam's and stock up on chewing gum.

i went from 2-3 packs aday to -0- four years ago, my x-mas preasant to my wife and new born daughter. if you want to quit you will. i took a look at the patch, gum and all the other stuff, it would have been cheaper to keep smoking. so i just quit.
i do however like a good cigar every now and then.
