Dutch. You're Dutch YEEH, welcome you can do it. :D

Yup you should be proud :)

Hahaha COOL!!!

Really, how strange the world can be a different life :) good for you and the girl to quit

Forget i asked ;) complicated good to have you here

Cool and neat!!! Big congratulations :D

Taking ME to the toyshop :P

NOPE

Tried Chantix, think 4 or 5 years back; only inhenced the dreamy-state / dissocation during the day and when I lowered the dosise it still happened funny I believe your blood gets a certain constand level but only after a week of 4 / 5 /6 and THEN I threw the chantix outta window because I was 'sleepwalking' during the day ;) No need to mention I relapsed VERY soon after that. Got hooked on patches BIG WARNING NRT can be addictive too-- especially the spray kinda makes you wanna use it more often and higher dosis then when you start with it it's with djumbo and the elephant, I ALWAYS needed a bloody feather, once the feather was gone i fall down. Chantix / Nortrilen / Zyban are options I'd easier recommend then NRT. Especially when you're having an addictive nature, not just for smoking but in general.... i'd say cut the crap and throw all nicotine outta the window (the magic feather) and believe in your own ability and your commitment the feather expression I lovingly steal from Barney but it's true... Also true, why quit 2? Sometimes, the hard, the tough ways seem like an unclimable mountain but when you have right tools: education, support, commitment etc there's nothing holding you back. Nothing!

Haven't met you, right!!! Don't believe the six six six bull, you know the drill so go for it :) and happy your back. Are from 'the other place'? Caz I can't remember you at all... WELCOME BACK!

Uhm I haven't forgotten = I just banished the lies, excuses and addicton b*llsh*t: to replace with positivity and as mant friends here can testify :P from a very insecure ugly duck I grew a secure (bold and tough) swan. Thing is you learn so much, smoking has been weaved in all assets of life, wgich you all have to deprogramm ;) Right now, I've heard I'm getting a neighbor NEXT to me... Last 4 weeks I could breathe freely I really pray it's someone who doesn't smoke, I REALLY do!! Passive smoking slows the healing process and can get my asthma get worse :( I'm not a "banish the smokers" person, just do not make me sit in your smoke ;) Now it's still fresh, litterally fresh smoke can trigger a craving even if you don't want to... Your whole software according to smoke-related subjects, needs to be updated :D that will really take months, easily half a year ;) don't worry the further you;ll come the more proud you get and yes there will be barrieres just STAY BUSY!!! I've never had a more filled planning for a week then now :) try to pick that up, fill up spaces with fun things... maybe unrealised dreams (no not a carrabean cruise LOL) but like me with guitarlessons... as a smoker you had ONE REAL OCCUIPATTION: get your fix in time, every 10 / 20 minutes... so find out what's in your heart, grow, learn STICK HERE at least a year ;) really recommended truly (guys back me up here) and find FUN things to do, some go crazy like a hamster in a wheel about running :P or excersize.... make your own future, donot let it be defined by smokes :D

Give us an update Nita, still hanging tuff, remember don't to take a puff!!!

Yeah an oldie, where are you ??? Happy birthday

I did the weird dance on Zyban, no good combi ;) Barney you're so right :D

What's the other name of bupropion? I was prescibed Nortryptilin / Nortrilin, more of a antdepressivant... back then I made it a huge deal quiting with 'that and valerian' Valerian is in some tea's too but I used high dosises. Crappy stuff, The Nortrilen never worked for the quiting, the mindset was wrong then yet, after 5 months around september I was on the right dosis. I don't allow anyone touching my meds since the last add / change in October: I'm on a rocket now. Even with sh*t months I manage well ;) Oh quit back in 2014 around Christmas, cold turkey, you know the turkey ran outta the oven :P No, I SWAER if you have the right mindset you can quit CT, if you don't no patch vape or pill will make you quit ;)

Happy birthday :D

Yup tossed the narciss, yeah it's really called that ;) and no problem :)

Now people who read my previous post, don't gimme the silly look okay!!! Porky you're only alowed to reply with "I'm not able to reply as I'm chewing on my car since I'm hungry." :P

Agreed, tried that penny-bull (sorry to call it that way) it just makes people lie to themselves and you're still hooked on nicotine and often like the shisha-pen kids think it's cool and fun but they get hooked and go to smoking... In the Netherland there's a report that says vaing is even deadlier then smoking. Didn't read it, but for one or two years vping pens and shisha pens were able to buy for kids under 16 so NOW they're on nicotine and can't 'get the vap / shihsa' so the go to cigs or fags and asking strangers to buy them for them if they're under... let me think 19 or 21? Dunno they age things now I believe they pulled the age up to 18 for cigs and low percent alcohol and even 21 for hardcore alcohol. I know many 'Americans' get wired up about the use of alcohol of teenagers in Europe.. but if they start I shoot back, well at least they don't carry a gun. I'm all pro-education and anti-alcohol (anyway) and anti-nicotine stuff. But governments get too much effort from the products as many are aware, with taxes etc. IF we'd we able to ban acohol and smokeing / shisha-pens the governemnts would loose millions or more, which they need... two years back if you wanted to quit smoking and you'd join a programm the patches etc were free.... well as fast as it came in the security packet, the sooner it was poof gone. If there's no alcohol use and nicotine use or WAY harder to get it, guns in the USA would be less a problem, people would not only be healthier, but also ikely the society have less problem addicted related family problems.... ad so on and on. I refuse to drink, out of moral; I saw what it did to my parents (alcoholists) and how that 'affected me' I started smoking FOR REAL from a cig my mom gamme Sjeesh, the hypocrisy on all levels of society and government makes me sick, really. HERE in the Netherlands they legalised the USE of hash / weed and if you ask me HOW often I've seen schizofrenic or psychotic people in the mental health institues, CAUSED by mariujana often too often a first psychosos occurs due the use of drugs... softdrugs like this but also the hardcore stuff It's so sad... Some praise the way my government arranges it, and REALLY I am lucky to live here in this wealth and with these oppurtunities ... I know or example in France and that's in Europe the border between rich and poor, is very far away from each other...in the USA there's a small rich top, lots of democratic bull (everywhere here too) and a huge layer of poor people. This is not meant as a judgemental post btw... but in Scandinavia, things are handled really well, nobody is really poor, the medical system is high, and don't ask me why but somehow those snowman :P do something different lol then the BIG EU lands, where Netherland drifts in between I call France, Germany uhm, and you could say the Benelux: Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg Am I giving a histiry lesson here? I think I lost my calling, I should hve finished my collage as histry teacher :P Well this is another side of me kinda akward, an inteligent Evelyn ;)
