My gods it's increasing. I'm sure someone posted recently about it being 3 days of utter badness but now it's 10 days of misery or potentially 100 days of HELLLLLLL!!!!!!!

I don't do badness/misery/hell well. Oh well if it gets too much for me at least I'll be able to lean back on the booze to make life easier. Wait a minute...oh shit, even that's no longer an option.

I'm seriously considering hypnotherapy for the ciggies (I would prefer to call them fags but apparently that term upsets some of you Yanks).

julia ross rocks!

Wayheyyy! Great news about the 5-HTP; I'm so glad he's getting some help. Heavy shit about the chickens. You get BEARS where you are? Holy crap! I thought you only got that sort of thing in the odd, backwards parts of America. Thank the gods we killed all our bears off in the 17th century

How can you people live in that gods-awful country? You have bears, venomous snakes, poisonous spiders, Mountain Lions and gay-rapist hill billies round every corner (I've seen Deliverance and it scarred me for life!) AND the weather is atrocious (either too hot or too cold). At least in Britain the weather is always moderate and we don't have any dangerous animals to worry about. Having said that, a seagull did shit on my head recently and I swear the bastard did it deliberately.

Murph, I KNOW you can handle however-many-days-of-hell if you know at the end, you will not care about smoking any more.

Let's see...in the progression of addictions.... I went from:

Smoking-->Even More AL (which is hard to believe I didn't die from)--->Shopping (increase your credit limits NOW)--->sugarcarbies.

I am currently still working on the sugarcarbies.

Good luck.

Yeah, I was expecting to experience 3 days too (per NTAP), but it was /way/ longer- which pissed me off no end.

I think it's different for drunks and, as DG mentions, if one is still drinking, AL consumption increases :-(

That said, now I have started on the L-Glut I'm nicotine free and way down on the booze too: Still not perfect, but a lot better than I was :-)

Cheers,

Paul.

And armadillos, big ass raccoons, big foot, and tumble weeds!

And don't forget George W and now Rick Perry!
Lord, I need to change the state in which I reside!

I was just thinking that it might be in your best interest to quit NOW!!! RIGHT NOW!!!! Before the misery period goes up even further.

Oh - I thought of you today. I think I found some very very good motivation for your exercise program. If you look for the "toning and fat burning" exercises here at Over 1000 FREE workouts with resistance bands | LIVEEXERCISE.COM, you will find videos with instructor Heather. Heather is very well toned and has what I can only imagine was a rather expensive boob job. And I've never seen low cut exercise tops like hers before. So...now that you are quitting smoking and will have even MORE motivation to exercise, I thought you would find this information helpful. No need to thank me.

Rudy, good luck with the hypnotherapist. You'll do fine. I didn't find it too difficult to quit. Hoping alcohol is that easy once I reach indifference. With smoking, it's like reverse labor. The pains (cravings) get further and further apart until one day you realize that it has been several days since you had a craving.

LL- You'd like New England.No armadillos, rattlesnakes or drought. Most importantly, no Rick Perry or other right wing evangelical nuts.

Murph, I have a friend who quit smoking by getting a prescription for Ambien, She basically slept for 3 days, getting up only for snacks and pee brakes. At the end of three days the cravings were pretty much gone. Just a thought. It worked for her!

I've got to say, Murph, you DID misery well for what, twenty thirty some years? Duh on a shit cake dude, you did HUNGOVER daily (right?) for much of your life. You obviously need a reminder of how horrendous it is to be hung serverly. Maybe you didn't get the fun of shitting yerself, or finding yourself in a trashcan, or under a dead dog. But maybe you did, and you should remember it (or imagine it if need be). You CAN do misery/hell well.

I don't know why everyone's sugarcoating quitting smoking. You're in for AT LEAST 400 days of pure non-stop hell Murph!

And we all already knew you love fags

Curly,

I was born in Connecticut and raised in Massachusetts until my dad got a transfer so many years ago. We use to spend a couple weekends every summer on Cape Cod. Gosh, I miss it so bad. :upset:

I can't help with the smoking. I took a puff at a 6 grade slumber party and never touched one again.
My sister quit after 35 years by using Chantix. I have no idea about contraindications or what side effects come along with it.


You can do it Murph!
By the way what were you wearing when you were meditating to thos CD'S?

Holy fun-bags, Batman! Clearly Heather's surgeon doesn't believe in half measures. I shall watch those videos later when I'm alone and maybe even join in with some exercises of my own. :H

I can't believe you forgot about the tap water.

I can see how hypnotherapy might work. Ask the hypnotist to put you to sleep for the rest of your life, and you may be in with a chance.

Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

Now that I've gotten over the panic of how close Sept 1st is, I've sussed out my plan of attack. No nicotine replacement products for me. The patch gives me a rash (sensitive skin), and it won't stay on me. I think I reject it. :H I could try duck tape, or that really sticky medical tape, but hells no. The gum gives me a tummy ache and it's loaded with aspartame. Same with the lozenges. Not that aspartame could be worse than the 400 chemicals in fags, but who knows? I think it's evil. Snuss is just plain out disgusting. I could try to use that vaporless cig, but what's the point? I'm white knuckling, cold turkeying it.

Except, I'm going to search for a hypnotist, and look into either acupuncture or acupressure.

Oh crap, yes! I entirely forgot about the tap water. Apparently American tap water is poisonous and you mustn't drink it because the authorities put shit in it. I'm not sure whether it's actual shit or just shitty chemicals, either way it'll kill you for sure. And some people, like RudyB, end up having to dig their own wells, by hand! And I don't expect the terrible American government even provide her with sewerage, so she has to crap in a bucket and throw it of her windows...I should imagine. Oh the gods, that country is just so bloody mediaeval.
