Quotes and Thoughts for the Day

[NickyKnack]

I had luck with the gum and patches!! Don't use chantix.its very dangerous. Messes with your brain.

I second that. My mom tried it and it changed her personality! Made her combative. Very scary.

Thanks Shannon!! How's your day?

It's a beautiful day!  I see there's lots of good news on here and as soon as the work day is over I'm free to enjoy the outdoors.   How are things going down there besides all of the excitement?

Glad you got some nice weather!! Overcast with a drizzling rain!! Been like this for 3 days now..

We're not due for rain again until tomorrow night through Monday morning. (I'm secretly hoping for just a little Sunday morning rain and just sun)

Quote: Every one that I know who tried hypnosis to stop smoking had great results. One friend went just to keep her friend company and ended up stopping as well.
No side affects

I hope he is improving and resting.

Jan, thank you, he is much better today. The doctor warned there may be side effects from the antibiotics, because they are quite strong, but he's fine on them. I'm so glad!

All this new medication they pushing on TV has worse side affects then the condition that your taking it for. For every sickness, cancer,cold,flu or what ever there is a natural cure for it. Big pharmacy makes to much money on the meds they pushing. They make more money treating something instead of curing it.

We won't see the sun until Tuesday/Wednesday

Re: the quitting. I've tried Zyban, gum and mouth spray

, hypnosis, cold turkey (did someone mention "personality change" and "combative"?

) and e-cigs. And failed spectacularly each time. The Zyban worked best, but it was hellish difficult and I gave in after 2 weeks. I have zero will power which doesn't help... I've read quite a bit about the side effects of Chantix and decided to try that one. It's a gamble, but hey, nothing else worked? I'll ask DH to keep an eye on me and if he notices anything alarming to let me know. I have to, got to do this.

@BuckAlorp your love is doing great with the weight loss!

My parents were both heavy smokers. My mother was able to just cut back one a week and eventually stop. My father tried everything...patches, gum, chantix, you name it. He had to stop chantix because like others have stated it was really messing with his mind and he's always been the level headed kind. After years of trying to quit my mother convinced him to try hypnosis since at this point he had nothing to lose. He has now been smoke free for a year and he was a two pack (at least) a day smoker.
