Roll call.... who's alive?
 

It's 4am & I'm not the least bit tired :helpme... I guess it's ok though I've been working on this new project all day long.

Who else is burning the midnight oil & what are you doing?

I'm awake due to intense pain and discomfort.. I couldn't go back to sleep for anything.

Yo, I'm here, going on 5th day without cigarettes, unable to sleep.
But I feel great, my lungs are beginning to heal.

Just woke up...East Coast here :thumbsup

nice :thumbsup


Before you break down, patch up. It works, so long as you remember the patch doles out that nicotine at an even rate over 24 hours... so when you hit a stressfull spike (while on the patch) you just gotta kick back for 10-20 mins & calm down, then you'll be all good again when the nicotine drip kicks back in :)

I've actually just started chewing nicotine gum, I tried the patch last time, it didn't really work out for me. There's no way for me to quit cold turkey, I gotta have a crutch. :)

man that gum tastes like doodoo. I feel for ya.

You probably broke down on the patch during a stress spike. The patch doesn't know when you're stressing.. it just does it's job and evenly distributes X nicotine in 24 hours. *I started rolling them because I can be lazy about things like that, so it automatically forced me to cut down (and I assume the tobbacco is cleaner to boot).

I was really determined to quit when I used the patch... and a couple months before I started smoking 'roll your owns' - those stained my smoking fingers orange & black over about a 6 weeks.. so that was a rude awakening to what my lungs might look like after the years of smoking.

The patch can work if you understand how it works... but if the gum is working for you, thats cool too :)

So you were successful then? Congrats :)
It's gonna be a tough battle, I smoke(d) 2.5 to 3 packs a day. The amount of money I'll be saving is motivation enough, but the main reason, other than my health of course, is my band....I play drums in a punk rock band, and I just can't fucking keep up anymore.

Absolutely wonderful.
