Beerball Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 No nicotene for 90 days! I've been off patches for 90 days, and no cigs for 60 before that! Fuggin A it feels great to finally kick that filthy disgusting habit.
R. Rich Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Congrats! I'm so glad I married a non-smoker, like myself.

Alaska Darin Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I've been off patches for 90 days 141278[/snapback] How do you keep the damn things lit? Those patches taste terrible.
gantrules Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Congrats Beerball!!! I know how it feels. It'll be 3 weeks at 11PM tonight since I had a cigy. Been off the patch for 2 weeks. I only used them for a week b/c they were screwing up my sleeping patterns even with them off at night.
stuckincincy Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 We were a much more polite and tolerant society when we all smoked.

Mark VI Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I'll smoke a good Fuente cigar in your honor !
Movinon Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Congrats are in order --- as a former smoker myself you will still get the urge to light up from time to time, esp if you like to drink.
stevestojan Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I tried the patch a couple years ago. (I am only 25, but have smoked since i was 15). Anyway, the patch worked, as when I did have a cigarette on top of it, it made me VERY dizzy. Anyway, the best part about the patch was the most amazing realistic dreams I had (never once a sexual dream, DAMNIT) but they were so real, I would wake up and even a couple minutes later not know whether it was real or a dream. Anyway, after I used em for 8 weeks, I stopped, and for a whopping 2 days went without nicotine. Then, I started dipping, as 3 of my roomates did, and it was there. Then I realized that was ridiculous, and just started smoking again. I'll try again soon. Congrats, man... really impressive.
TigerJ Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I took two puffs on a cigarette in third grade. That cured me. Count me among the anti-smoking zealots in the debate over smoking. It killed my dad (emphysema- pretty terrible way to go).
gantrules Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Anyway, the best part about the patch was the most amazing realistic dreams I had (never once a sexual dream, DAMNIT) ----------- I had one bad one while on them........fuggin scared the crap out of me for hours...I couldn't fall back asleep.
BRH Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Then, I started dipping, as 3 of my roomates did, and it was there. 141306[/snapback] That is an even harder habit to break than smoking.

The next night, same thing. I told my roomate who was also on the patch (we tried quitting together, thought it would be easier - he is now almost 3 years without a smoke) and he said he found the same thing. I checked the box and it actually said that "vivid dreams" is a side effect. I might buy em again just for that!

stevestojan Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 This girl gives her experience on the weird dreams associated with the patch... http://www.ubersite.com/m/32161 honestly, it was a crazy 8 weeks for me... an no, no acid BRH - the patch is cool because all of my dreams were good, and of course, i was sleeping and couldnt do anything dumb.
AiO Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 That's great Beerball, but what do you think about "The Christmas Shoes?" Seriously, great job on quitting. I've done it before and never stayed "quit."
Beerball Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 That's great Beerball, but what do you think about "The Christmas Shoes?" Seriously, great job on quitting. I've done it before and never stayed "quit." 141364[/snapback] Thank you for bringing this LAMP back where it belongs...to me! The usual suspect tried to hijack the damn thing. Their(AW) all fuggers. After 27 years of smoking it was finally time. I had tried to quit umpteen times and always went back within a couple days, never for longer than a couple weeks. Always started back the same way...I'll just have one...then throw out the pack. Next day same thing, only this time I don't want to waste the money, so I keep the pack. Next thing you know, pack a day. Nothing different about the approach this time, I guess I was just ready. Christmas Shoes make me want to hurl!
