I eat lot of carotts 5-6 days,like rabits, but i got diarrhoea, lot of A vitamines improved my eyes view, i could see cigarettes butts on the street for half mile away

You cannot seem to go one day without making some form of huge rookie mistake or another. Which is too bad... because there's something there.

Ease into it a bit more, maybe?

Martl"ette",,,,,sounds girlish, hes not gonna like that, JB88.
Laz2 is just another "messerschmitter", but harmless, grain of salt comes into mind.

Good that you are smoke free, same here, 1 week totally without anything, no patches, nothing.

You're at about 8 days now 88? Heck, you're past the hard part. In another week you'll be 95%. Good job, keep it up.

as they say "Not a single puff - evar!"

Might save a few car stereos and windows from being broken but that's about it.

I think the patch for cigs is like methadone. It is a dumb idea... might save us from having to smell the smoke and prevent a few fires but doubt that it was ever the reason that someone was able to quit nicotene.

When junkies go back out (as nash points out) they sometimes die from an OD because their tolerance is so much lower.... at least with smoking... all that happens is that the sissy gets a little sick from the OD of nicotene.

baby the little wuss all you want... you aint doing him any good.

When I quit cigarettes I did the patch- for bout three days, til a friend of mine asked me if the patch was a more efficient delivery system for your niccotine since it went directly into your bloodstream- I thought about it, removed the patch and quit cold turkey.

It's more what to do with your hands than anything, once you're past that you should be fine.

Just quit, it's the single best thing you can do for your health.

I saw a bum at Circle K in the middle of summer. He had his shirt off and was wandering around the parking lot with about 15 patches stuck to his chest and stomach.

Not sure how this fits into the thread .....just saying.

nash.. the big difference (and the worst) in AA is that the court system and government have discovered AA and NA.. They realize that all their expensive and "scientific" and compassionate (for you tweety) methods were total fairlures, often, having the oppossite ot the desired effect and creating more dependant people.

In it's infinite wisdom.... the system attached itself like a huge leach to AA and NA who had an allmost perfect recovery rate. They "court ordered" people into the program that was not their program to begin with... being ordered to go is exactly oppossite of what AA is all about.

I was a sectratary when these losers first started coming into the program with their neat little forms in triplicate and it was suppossedly my duty to sign them stating that these people had been there.

This is the penultimate example of tweety like inabbility to understand even the basics of AA . Did they even look at what the acronym stood for? Was I, for one to give up my anonymoty to sign the papers? For the other part.... I told the guys (and girls) that we were not allowed to say anyone was there and that they could just leave if they pleased and sign the paper themselves with a phony name... there would be no way that it could be checked up on without violating our rules.

I imaging now tho that some anal busybody is a secratatary with a stopwatch and a self important stamp and is forcing them to stay till the end of the meeting and line up quietly after so that he can give his "official" sig to their court ordered document.

what a friggin joke things become when the government get's involved.

What makes you think I don't understand AA, the history off AA, or that I didn't read that blue book about Bill?
