We Quit Cigarettes

[shawluvsbirds]

There is nothing wrong with taking a bath or shower. I use the soap they sell for hunters because all of the regular soaps that I have found have too much stinkum added.

I'd have to take too many showers! I sweat too much. I am in in southie hot territory ya know!
I am not taking 3 showers a day. That's too much work!

There are reasons that many of us will never be "southies" regardless of where certain people think the line should be drawn. There is nothing worse than living somewhere that you get up in the morning wetter than you were when you went to bed.

@Kiki was afraid of it too, but it worked out for her. If you've had drug reactions in the past, it's natural to worry about it. DH and I used to commiserate that if there was any possible rare and nasty drug reaction to be had, he would be the one to have it.

Then he ended up needing a bone marrow transplant. I took on the job of sorting out his multitude of meds. Wow! So many meds... so many possible side effects. He didn't ask and I didn't tell. He never had a one. I guess a past sensitivity to other drugs doesn't necessarily translate into a general susceptibility to undesirable drug reactions.

You should talk to your doctor. Addictions are super difficult to break because they often alter your brain chemistry. Substances you need in order to experience a sense of well-being, that your brain ought to provide for, are provided in great abundance by the drug. Because of this, the brain no longer produces or causes them to be produced.

Some people easily break addictions. Their brains shrug and say, "Okay, back to work, minions. No more free lunch!" For other people, the brain takes much longer to get back on track. Some do just gird up their loins and take the suffering. Others simply haven't got it in them. I'm glad I never smoked, nor drank very often, because I don't think I'm that strong. I might be. Who knows? I did manage to throw off depression--after oh, 40 years? And yes, it's possible to have an emotional addiction to maladaptive thought patterns. This, too, alters brain chemistry.

If there's help to be had, you should take it. Tobacco is a potent toxin with loads of lethal side effects. If you can't kick it, there's no shame in that, but if there's help in a temporary short-term course of Chantix or something of that kind, I urge you to consider it. Talk to your doctor.

I think worried is an understatement...I was terrified of taking the damn pills.

I am so happy that I took them.
I had absolutely nothing to be terrified about.


I would take them again in a heartbeat but lucky for me I will never need them again

Yeah I hear ya.
I mostly like people from a distance

I thought that was what the tinfoil was for? Maybe I am confusing you with someone else ...

A morning and evening shower everyday. It's been great here lately it's been around 50-55 at night and not 197 during the day. Very different than usual. Usually soaked with sweat before daylight lol
