and it's two in the mothafu*cking morning. I normally do not crave like this but the liquor says otherwise. F**K, I need to quit this sucks.
One word.....Chantix.
+1 Haven't had a cig for over two months now, after fifteen years of a pack a day habit. Barely have the urge anymore.
+2 Chantix is a miracle drug I'm on day 34 cold turkey
I don't think it's called cold turkey when you're taking medicine!
Not saying that your quitting is any less praiseworthy with help, just not cold turkey.
EDIT: Casual smoker being someone who does not buy cigarettes and only smokes on occation. (I'd say "only smokes when drinking" but I drink far too often)
I used to hate people like you. I live a fair ways out in the country, and people would come out over the weekend and bum my smokes because they were drinking my beer. They always said, "I only smoke when I'm drinking".
I meanwhile, was an addict and if I ran out of smokes, it was a thirty minute round trip to buy some more at the closest store. Which by the way, charged like a dollar more because they know that you are not going to drive the extra ten minutes in to town to save that dollar.
The difference is, the people are coming to my house and drinking my beer. It's the least they can do. I'm not that big of an *******.
One word.....Chantix.
everyone i know who's tried that quits taking it after 7 days because they cannot deal with the nightmares / vivid dreams it causes as a side effect.

From what I understand its because you are actually still addicted to the nicotine its just that the Chantix blocks the receptors in your brain and your body thinks you are still getting the nicotine............. true or not?
I only wish I had vivid dreams. In fact, I had no real symptoms. My friend who tried it (and worked) was sick a lot, but nothing major.everyone i know who's tried that quits taking it after 7 days because they cannot deal with the nightmares / vivid dreams it causes as a side effect.

I'm happy. Like I said, I still sorta smoke, but it beats the hell outta cigs.

I did Chantix as well.
I'm off the cigs, but I smoke hookah like a fiend. I do'nt know if that counts. I don't want a cigarette and when I do have one every few months I get all sick in the stomach and don't want another one.
Wellbutrin did the trick for me . 3 years, and now I only have a very occasional premium cigar.

This very well might be true, but I look at it like this. Smoking is two part thing, getting nicotine, and the "act" of smoking.
