cactu5 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I smoked for ten years. For a while I was smoking a pack a day. I decided one day that I couldn't cut down the same way other people were able to, and I was sick of being controlled by it. So I had two goes at quiting. The first time I lasted a week. Then I had the shits because I could only last a week, so I quit again. This time I went on patches for two weeks. You've got to remember to take them off at night. Every time I left one on I had nightmares, and would wake up in the middle of the night and rip it off. I was sick, my chest felt shit, but after two weeks I pretty much felt right. I wasn't going through all that again, so I stayed quit. It was really, really difficult. What kept me going was being told that one day I wont feel like one, and I'd forget all about smokes, and it's true.

Shell Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 so how long has it been since you quit cactu5? Did anybody else use patches?... i didnt (haha i'm so hardcore lol) but I figured if i needed them i could go get some, but I've been alright without them. my good news is I'm finally over the sickness thank fck for that... 5 weeks with the flu is quite enough thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/139460-i-have-quit-smoking/page/3/#findComment-2619269 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactu5 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 so how long has it been since you quit cactu5?Did anybody else use patches?... i didnt (haha i'm so hardcore lol) but I figured if i needed them i could go get some, but I've been alright without them. my good news is I'm finally over the sickness thank fck for that... 5 weeks with the flu is quite enough thanks 5 weeks! That's no good. I quit in 2001, I thought about them for a while. I tried a smoke 7 months later and put it out half way through. It's good that you've managed to quit without the patches because you have to quit the patches too. Sorry for the late reply. Are you still off them?

Shell Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Less smokes = more money to spend on car :-) lol... I started a perfume addiction with the money i was saving... it was kinda my reward to myself to help me thru cos I love perfume, and then it got out of control. Here's the collection about 6 months ago I have a few more now...
