If he just gives me something for now I'd be happy enough. I realise I can't do this without some sort of help. I've tried the gum before and it tastes horrible and the patches just don't roll well enough to keep the tobacco in place :giggle:
If you WANT to quit you will...... I quit for 18 years then when my dad passed away I stupidly had one after a few days of not sleeping, smoked again for a few years then last November I stopped again. No Zyaban No patches no group therapy just a will and a need to stop. NOT 1 single fag in a year now and no regrets at all. No craving no nothing anymore... Ok a self gratifying post maybe but anyone wanting to stop can. The only thing you have to do is say to yourself ''I am not starting to smoke'' instead of I'm trying to quit.... The cravings do pass and jeeze you feel so much better....

Nicotine is proven more addictive than heroine! Not blowing any special trumpet for myself either... anyone can quit smoking if they want to. Seriously it all depends on how bad you want it, if you try to quit smoking for any other reason other than you want to it doomed from the start! If you start off saying I am trying or I am giving it a go then its half hearted.. and again doomed! If you mean it and really want it its simple, nothing but you as in person who is quitting picks up a ciggie and lights it that is what makes you a smoker, its not the nicotine after just 48 hours there is no nicotine in your body to cause the need as such after that its purely the habit you need to break.
Most people who say they want to stop are doing just that and fair play its thier body to do as they please, we still meet smokers we still go out and have no hang ups with those that do smoke whatsoever. I CHOOSE not to smoke so I don't. Anyone who wants the same can have it just the same.. Just don't pick one up and light it, its not hard honest! After a while the need and habit stops.... Simple!

I quit fags about 25 years ago. Not easy to do I know. But you do really need to want to quit. So good luck.
another side-effect to go along with poss weepiness, is paranoia...
>a colleague told me so<
so again, beware...
but AGAIN: Good Luck

Having had a heart attack almost 2 yrs ago you would have thought the doctor would fall over himself to give me something that would help me kick the fags wouldn't you...
Not so.................As Shireen has stated earlier in the thread he wont even think about it untill we have been to the stop smikong clinics and support groups and failed to quit...
The fact that its impossible for us to go to these clinics is besides the point...
Godd luck to ya Sassy....If you manage to get the prescription let me know who your doctor is as I feel a move coming on...
Steve, you don't need the doc as an excuse to move to beautiful Wales you know :rascal:
)and lasted about 4 days
but failed to work on a fellow group member so fair to say works for some but not all 
but hey there s loads more other treatments out there just as worthy and yes you do feel shed loads better 
) but I've only had one which is good for me.
