Billy Butcher - Cold turkey works. Two months clean and never felt better.

Watch out for the 70 day "blah's". It will pass quickly but for those few days, if you don't know expect it, you may falsely think that you'll never conquer the cravings.

http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp

"Days 70 - 90 - Late term craves, the doldrums, the blahs, the blues. Some people end up feeling like they are right back at day 1. The fog, the haze, the craves. It can be a tough time. You need to let people in your group know this is happening. Time to circle the wagons to get through it. It usually only lasts a few days."

Before I quit cold turkey, I had quit for about 3 weeks using the patches. I had to stop using them because they made me have really fucked up dreams. One night I dreamed that my daughter died and instead of burying her we decided to eat her. For some reason, I was eating her face and she was talking to me the whole time, crying and begging for me to stop while her mom and sister were chewing on her intestines. I would rather die of lung cancer than to ever have a dream like that again.

Anyone else have nightmares from using the patch?

Shanks V3.1 - Congrats...you know, I quit habitually smoking years ago, but I will still smoke a few when I drink heavily...which is probably a couple times a month, sometimes more or less depending...

I never feel like I'm gonna slip back into the habit, no matter how many I smoke during those drunken escapades. I'm just not a smoker anymore...I'm a guy who occasionally partakes while drinking.

Yikes! My creepiest dream to date was during pregnancy, and it was nothing compared to that! Phone Post

Interesting thread. Don't know about the 'smokers are cowards' post, but my Dad, who I think is still alive, will be 90 in January (oh! this month).

He smoked unfiltered Winstons from age 20 to 60, switched to filtered Pall Malls (I could have that backwards), and at 85 quit cold turkey. He said he just 'decided'. (I think it was costing too much).

For him it was a 'stimulus barrier' being married to a shrew (who meant well but drove us all nuts).

He never had any lung problems, no Ca, xrays always good. I mean he would literally chain smoke and did all through the 60s these unfiltered things, and save the insides and re-roll them into second-hand double tar smokes.

When he gave me his work car, a beat up old Chevy Malibu, I was cleaning it out and took out the ashtray and to my astonishment, a half-bucket (a quart?) of ashes fell out. The tray was packed and the ash was up inside the dashboard. Whoa.

I smoked a Kool Menthol once back in 1965, and a couple Pall Malls (like 4-5) in 1970. Didn't like it. Pretty weak. But glad I never smoked.

Great job on the OP - LakerGirl.

My ex smokes. Quit for 20 years and started back up just before we divorced. Bad move. She's still trying to get off them. She said even 15 years clean she felt this thing like a black hole of desire for a smoke. Nicotine is one of the most addicting substances known. (Consumer Reports, Licit and Illicit Drugs).

Yeah, that's awful. I used to have pretty sweet dreams when I was taking it. They were extremely vivid, but nothing horrific like that. A few nightmares, but once you wake up and realize its a dream, it's no big deal. Kind of cool. Phone Post

Gunt - Great job, OP.

People who never try tobacco are cowards.

People who become addicted to using tobacco are weaklings.

People who break their addictions, cold turkey, are honorable.

People who start up, again, after they quit, are bigger cowards.

There's no winning when you use addictive drugs like tobacco and alcohol for recreational purposes. But the world puts the shit out there and makes it look like candy, so it's understandable how people get involved with tobaccos and alcohol -terrible, terrible drugs that most people excuse as acceptable because they are legal and available.

If only there was a natural substance that wasn't addictive, didn't cause health problems and was something that anyone could make for themselves.....if only......

Going out on a limb here and saying marijuana Phone Post
