Still smoking as of yesterday.
Today was to be d-day but I'm having second thoughts. Quiting morphine AND cigs at the same time ain't such a good idea.
Still,I'm all set up to quit and all,its ashame to stop quitting.
What are your thoughts please?

I will be the first to admit smoking is bad for your health, but I will give up my cigs when they pry them from my cold dead hands. I will be buried with a pack and a lighter. Smoking is one thing that gives me joy, and with my health as it is, I be damn if anyone is taking it away from me, because I don't really care if it does shorten my suffering, uh, life, no suffering would be the right word.  

However, I do support anyone that wants to quit, and would help them any way I could, except quit myself. I would stop smoking around them, but that's it. So if you want to, go for it, you might feel better.

Grrrr!!!! I am going through the same thing!!!  The cost alone is not worth it.  The government keep upping the price, so I pay $30 - 35 a pkt of 30s.

Tony is going to the Dr on Friday, so I thought I would ask him to get a script for patches.  (Makes them cheaper at $6.00), no script $50.00!!!  Go figure!!!

I cannot go cold turkey, as I know I would be unbearable (probably because my work is stressful, and we are renovating too)

There are tablets you can take, but I cannot take them as they make you tired, and I don't need that!!

The thing is, I love nothing more than relaxing with a coffee/wine and a cigarette, its a great de stressor!!!!

Good luck Denny.....I hear ya!!!

I hear ya robby.I feel the same way.it don't matter if all you get is a shorter life but becoming a cripple because of it,only increaseing my discomfort/pain!

If it didn't hurt I wouldn't brother either but cigs always did make me a bit Ill. I'm pretty sure I'll feel somewhat better if I quit.
Thanks Tay! Everything is going up up up on in price.
Some things gotta change.

I was more worried about the withdrawals of both things at once!

Really, cigs actually reduce my pain, and studies show that nicotine is a natural pain reliever.

Would patches work for nicotine?

Tay


Tony had patches when he was in hospital and aid he never felt like a cigarette.  Although he has one (a cigarette) when he has a beer.  Doesn't seem to bother him. 

I would have to totally give up, cos if I had one, I'd have to have 20.  So I do hope the patches work for me.


ronr

Kicking cigs and morphine at the same time might be a bit of a challenge.  I would think one at a time but keep working on it little by little, even if it's only one cig a day, it is an improvement.
Times are tough when "Happy Hour" is your nap.
My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely!

No.  It's just a list of codes to get all sorts of symbols.  For example a music note is {alt-14}.  II didn't count,  but I would say there is at least 100 codes.  I bookmarked it so I can pull it up whenever I need it.

I quit smoking because I couldn't afford them anymore. Cold turkey worked because I felt so rotten with this affliction , I didn't know the difference.

denny

I could do it but my son smokes and they are always there.
I know its stupid but there it is.

I guess I just not ready.
