Quiting smoking

Is it normal to have small SMOKE fits, like you just really
whacked out for some reason? It only happens when I try to
quit smoking...

I was thinking of buying that gum stuff and the patch and
maybe Ziban too...

i dont understand what you're saying at all. You mean like
them times you feel attracted to a cigarette all of the
sudden?

Yeah like all of a sudden I get in a sort of panic. Then I
stop and think "Holy shit whats wrong why am I all up
tight?" then I realise I am craving a smoke really bad. It`s
fucked up!

It will become less frequent after time, just ride it out.

i'm just finishing the allen carr stop smoking book. his
philosophy is that once you realise you're not giving
anything up but a life of cravings and dependence, you can
convert your cravings into a super-pleasurable feeling of
joy when you realise you're free of 'the dreaded weed'. thus
he claims you can actually enjoy giving up smoking. hmmm.

i'm yet to see if his method works, as he is telling me not
to smoke my last one till i have finished the book. he keeps
repeating himself every 5 pages and it's getting real old,
but i'm putting my trust in the old bastard - i shall do as
he says. (+ i want another cig)

A guy I know quit smoking after reading that Carr book. He
was a human ashtray - I couldn't believe he actually quit. I
think his blood was about 10% nicotine by volume.

Not only that but he was in a good mood after he quit,
instead of turning into a tightly coiled ball of seething
misery and hate like I did when I quit. It turned me into
the trent reznors lol.

But anyhoo mister oxygenfad, your experience is pretty
standard. It fucks you up emotionally in a big way. You have
to keep telling yourself that it's just the withdrawal
symptoms. I wonder how many people quit their jobs, get
divorced, beat the fuck out of someone etc. etc. when
they've just quit smoking.

if you REALLY want to quite smoking, quit smoking by
quitting smoking (ie. not smoking anymore)
quite easy really
