NRT's reinject nicotine in my system.....


for 19 år siden 0 547 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
All it took for me was the decision to quit. I didn't prepare at all. I just did it. Done. Over with. NRT? I knew those things exited but I didn't feel like going out to get one. I think I actually had some fear that THAT would be addictve too! Apparently some of those products actually DO work. But only from what I have heard. I've read and learned that WHEN you are determined to quit AND determined to stay quit, you WILL use the method that you feel best to use and really work it. The SSC and my desire to NOT smoke overriding my desire to smoke was all I needed. Now I am staying quit and will keep staying quit. I have 1 day back so far, I want to get them ALL back. I agree that you need to do whatever works for you to stay quit, but if you add the other components of 'desirng to not smoke being more powerful than the desire to smoke' and 'making THE decision to quit AND stay quit', you've got an equation that equals a successful quit.

I believe it does not matter how a person quits. Whatever a person needs to be quit, then be it. We are all here for the same reason. No person is "stronger" or "weaker" for the method they chose. If I would have prepared for my quit, I would have chosen a NRT. However, I quit because my hubby wanted to give it a try. I never truely thought it would stick...... But here I am. And going strong, might I add. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 46 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,403 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $150.42 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 14

I have used both patches and gums in my previous attempt to quit, but never made it past 3 days. This time I quit "cold turkey" and it worked for me. I think that the different this time is that I truly don't want to be a smoker any more. My whish to be a non-smoker is much stronger than the cravings for a cigarette. I know that if I just smoked 1 cig, I will be back smoking fulltime again. It has not been easy and I still have some really bad days, but I'm so happy that I made this decision!

Hi Bubba, Thank you so much for this post, I knew that I didn't have a choice when it came to quitting. I had tried cold turkey and I could not do it. I admire the one's that can do it. I used the patch for 10 weeks just as the directions said. And the money wasen't an issue with me. In the long run you are saving money. And you didn't miss a thing they did.

Bubba, At the end of this day, I will be smokefree for 60 days. That is the longest I've gone since 1991 when I quit for 21 months. Since that time I've tried to quit countless times both with nrt and without. This time round ... and I feel like I'm just getting started ... I did a very deliberate step down off the nicotine. One full week of step one, one full week of step two and one full week of step three. I'm not saying this as a recommendation to anyone it was just the way I did it. Something is really working for me this time. Mostly I think its just acceptance that I am a nicotine addict and that if I put that substance back in my body again I WILL be screwed! Sorry about the language but I need to keep it that blunt. :) I've also been poking around here on and off for the last few years and I recognised your name from way back. Then I looked at your stats. WOW!!!!! I want me some of that!! Congratulations at a life changed! You're an inspiration BIG TIME!

Bubba, I've heard that one a lot on this site. Frankly, I think it's just another junkie lie. A junkie will say ANYTHING to keep their addiction going. And truly, I think what the person means is "I can't afford patches AND cigarettes when I go back to smoking because I know that I will." In all honesty, THAT right there is the truth, whether the person will admit it or not. However, as we all know all too well, nobody will quit when they're not ready to. Until then, a person will come up with as many excuses as needed to keep going in their addictions... I know I did. I personally was a cold turkey quitter and I'm proud of that. I had patches... in fact, I've still got some that I never used, just in case I felt like I needed one. After a few days, I knew that the nicotine was out of my system, so there was no point in putting a patch on, so I just bit the bullet and dealt with the withdrawals nicotine free. That's not to say that I'm against NRT... I'm not. I think that anything that helps a person quit and do it successfully is a great method in my book. Thank you for this thought-provoking post. I agree that people who say that they cannot afford patches, but CAN afford cigarettes are just lying to themselves... but I think every single one of us on this site did that for many years. The quit will happen when we're ready for it. Crave the Quit!

Any quit is a good quit. Some people have surgery and need very little pain medication. Others have the same surgery and require lots of pain medication. Both surgeries are successful. The fact that one person needed more help than the other has little or no bearing on the final outcome of the surgery. Nobody would fault a person for needing pain meds after surgery..... It's the same thing with NRT's. Some people can go cold turkey, I did it once for 13 weeks. Others can't. My 13 week quit was a nightmare. Endless anger and dealing with cravings etc.... This quit I am working with a doctor and using NRT's. No nightmare. It's been pretty easy. It's been almost 50 days sisnce I had a smoke in my hands and I'm not missing them that badly. I say - WHATEVER WORKS! Any quit is a good quit!

So...nicotine does not hurt us. It is the tar and the other 4,000 chemicals that kill you. You smoked for 40-50 years and now do not want to use patches, gum, etc. for a few weeks as an aid. Studies make it clear as a bell...NRT's improve odds in quitting by 200%. There is nothing macho about quitting cold turkey. I am and was a warm chicken and am proud of it. Have you heard the one yet where the person is spending $40-50 weekly on smoked and can not see how in the world they could afford patches. Honestly, I had that put on me recently. When I questions that strange logic, they said - 'Well, I just can't seem to lay my hands on enough for the patches for a week.' Did I miss something there or what? Go figure.

Obviously some need a crutch and others don't; whatever works, that's the important thing. BTW, nice round number 200%! Penitent d703
