Tobacco is almost more insidious, because there are so many triggers...

 

Morgan, I sooooo feel for you. You keep venting in here man. Don't succumb to the siren song.

 

... and the availability and acceptance (though that is declining)

 

Thanks Chaz, I'm good to go today. I'm bigger than nicotine, and it's comforting to know the empowering choice is to not smoke. The sad-sack, loser chioce is to light up. easy.

 

Go for it Morgan! You have our support.

 

Thanks!

Quit Smoking?

I LOVE to quit smoking. Hell, I've done it 4 or 5 times throught my life. In fact, I usually start smoking again just so I can quit!



Good luck!

 

Thanks man...it didn't feel courageous....It was like, "I choose life". The choice was easy. The withdrawal was hard...(this is all circa, 1987)...My user buddy ended up in re-hab for eight weeks. I went to a Doctor who specialized in addiction treatment. He prescribed five (5) tablets of Percoset, and a blood pressure reducing medication. A week later I was OK. It's not like the movies...it wasn't like The Man with the Golden Arm or anything...

 

Corey,

R U talkin' about how you quit every night and then start again the next mornin'

If so . . . . I quit drinkin' again.

Seriously, Morgan I wish you the best. I know that running helps me quit. I always start again in the fall and winter and quit in the summer.

I think exercise may really help. It seems to trigger some of the same chemical responses (by your body) that smoking does. At least it seems to to me.

SO FAR, SO GOOD
