Evening Krap with Krieg

[TheHaze]

Sounds like an endveaor best left to a contractor.

Finding a reliable contractor...mmm..there's the trick.
.

Check referents and with the state broad of contractors- - - - - -

 

[Krieg]

yes, there's that. Getting the house painted is the priority.2.5 story built in 1907, the siding is Fir. So it must be scraped and sanded before painting. So a contractor for that, or contractor for parging...

 

[Krieg]

It is day 22 of not smoking.

I am currently pondering handing out peanut butter sandwiches to local schools and daycare. I likely need to change my patch instead.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I quit with the patch and the gum. It took 3 attempts, over a couple years...

The patch gave a nasty rash, the gum/lozenges are useless. I tried Chantrix until the dreams made me crazy. I think maybe I'll just die.

 

[MasterBlaster]

[Blazor]

When I quit cigs, I switched to a pinch hitter. You get to keep the habit, and get high, win win lol.

 

[Krieg]

I am using the patch.. the science is sound..transdermal nicotine release, reducing the amount of nicotine gradually. I know little of Chantrix, it's side effects, or the long term effects of said medication. I have frequent arguments with my addiction that can easily reason out with very plausible arguments as to why I should have just a little puff, here and there. No. It's expensive, it smells, and the long term pain is really not worth the short term gain.

 

[MasterBlaster]

The VA gave me Chantrix, didn't do a thing for me. When you reduce down from the 21 mg DON'T buy the 14... keep buying the 21 and trim a 1/4 inch off instead.

I am smoking regularly these days.

I hate everything about it.

Coworker did Chantrix, sats drwans are crazy, but she stopped.

I hear sleeping with the pay h on causes crazy realistic dreams too.

I have a lit of anxiety dreams, fuck having them be even more realistic than they are

Nope

Proofread much? LOL

I know and feel what you're saying, though. I need to stop smoking. Nicotine is a helluva drug. I'm wondering about vaping options and tapering off. I'm also curious about CBD products and how they might help with anxiety issues. I'd be better off if I could smoke pot everyday. Instead, I drink myself to death.

 

[Oliver Shagnasty]

Cigarettes are bad for you. I've smoked here and there but never got addicted to them but some people I know can't seem to quit and others continue to struggle. My sister in law has been smoking for 30 years and she tried to quit by taking up vaping and had a panic attack so I'm not sure that vaping is a better alternative.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Vaping IS better - PERIOD.

 

[Dageaux]

Vaping is like masturbation, it'll do in a pinch, but it just isn't as satisfying.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's not the same as smoking, but if I took away your cigarettes you'd get used to it real fast.

 

[Blazor]

Weed/CBD is the way to go ladies and gentlemen, fuck those cancer sticks.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Apples and oranges.

 

[Blazor]

Apples and oranges are still better than a water chestnut lol.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Really? I like the crunch they add!

[Krieg]

It has been 40 days since my last smoke. The diiference between now and my previous attempts is I still have tobacco in the house. a Nice full pack of cigarellos if I so wanted. "They" tell you to get rid of all nicotine so you won't be tempted. For it gives comfort that if I REALLY wanted to smoke, I have the option.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You're not home clear until 40 weeks.

 

[TheHaze]

You're not home clear until 40 weeks.

The urge is always there,it's just a mind over matter- - - - - - - - -:Stoned:

 

[MasterBlaster]

No urge if you use a patch and/or the gum. Don't waste time on that Chantix bs.

 

[Blazor]

You're not home clear until 40 weeks.

For me, the first 2 weeks was the roughest, but I was home clear after 2 months.


Good job Krieg!

 

[Krieg]

In all honesty I do not expect to be "home clear" until perhaps 3 years have passed. I am fortunate that very few of the people I know smoke, and those that do smoke cigarettes. which was not my preferred poison. I am not going to say I have quit until such time has passed.

 

[Damaged Maven]

Therapist told me that in any addiction you have to be totally clean for 18 months while your brain rewires. It's more critical if you started use before the age of 25.

 

[TheHaze]

I quit every night but start up again the next day- - - - - -:Stoned:

 

[MasterBlaster]

I just hope dying from cancer isn't too painful.

There is no sad emoji :(

Well, for my wife, she suffered more under the chemo. Eventually, her immune system got too low, and she got pneumonia. Went to the hospital, and they induced her into a coma. She had sepsis, where it had spread to her other organs, and they began shutting down. So she was in a coma for a week, but got real bad at the end of the week, that was when we found out about the sepsis. And even though she was in a coma, you could tell she was in pain. We hit the morphine button as many times as we were allowed, before her parents finally decided it was time to pull the plug.
