| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | The patch does work. Try it if you can. For the oral fixation part of smoking chew on a coffee stirrer. Do not drink. It weakens your will power and also there have been studies that show that booze and nicotine create cravings for each other. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | Like Barch said, it does get easier, unless you hang around in a group of friends in which most of them smoke, then it won't be as easy.quote: LOL ok as much as I sometimes can't stand you DIG, that was pretty funny to me.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | In the past two years I have tried quitting 3 times. The third time was a charm. I was smoking 2 packs a day for 10 years. I can finally say, that I have not smoked in 6 months. I tried the patch every time. Here is my advice: - You have to want to quit, don't do it if your forced, it will never work. - Don't kid yourself, it will be hard - Do not go to bars, a couple of beers, cigarettes come back very easily. - Buy gum or sunflower seeds. - If you use the patch, use the full program, Nicoderm CQ. I think it is the best. It will cost you about $40 every two weeks, but compared to the price of cigarettes, thats pennies. - While on the patch, your dreams may get vivid and colorful, enjoy them. - You may have trouble sleeping at first, it will get better. - You will get irritable, your family and friends may hate you for a while, every little thing may bother you. It will not last forvever. - Like Katylina said, exercise. Your metabolism is affected by nicotine. It will slow down. After not smoking for a week or so, take a deep breath, you will be able to smell everything better, as well as taste everything you eat. This can also be a bad thing, depending on what your eating. Good Luck, its worth it and you'll have money in your pocket.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | so far gum's helping. whenever i have nic fits i just sit there and think of something else that's bothering me at that point and focus on that, like the heat, traffic, or complete boredom. i'm trying to do this without it costing too much money, i have no intent on going out and getting the patch or nicorette or any of that. so far after roughly 48 hours i've been doing good, haven't had a cig. A coworker of mine today decided he needed to blow smoke in my face, i was about to punch his face off untli my friend stepped between us. anyhow, i've been trying all the other suggestions and they seem to be working out for me so far, thanx for the help peeps :) | ||||
