what medication were you on
It was sertraline, an SSRI, so basically like prozak or something

Originally posted by NewLanceWinduOh man, to be honest I can see that happening.

Good job. I've been a non-smoker for 2.5 years now. Hopefully you don't do what I did and turn to food. I ended up putting on close to 50 pounds. Still trying to get rid of that.
Either way though, it just feels good not being shackled to an addiction really!
Originally posted by KharhmahReally? How long've you been on it?
I'm on that. :3
I got prescribed it at the start of this year, I was meant to take it for six months about a week ago I realised I hadn't been keeping it up for the week before that so I just decided to leave it
Has it helped you at all? I've heard conflicting reports on it

The worst part about quitting is all mentally. Even now, I still have dreams where I pick up a pack again and I feel all is right in the world for that moment. Luckily those thoughts don't last long.
My next big goal is to either cut way back on or quit drinking soda. It's my main vice right now.
Originally posted by NewLanceWinduTotally agree, man. Self rolling them is a tough part to break for me because I'm so used to it. Waiting for a bus, make a rollie. Walking somewhere, make a rollie. Just had dinner, make a rollie. Etc.

My advice to anybody who has never smoked is just to stay well away, because sure, you can quit, but somewhere inside you there'll always be a smoker, craving away. My mum quit twenty years ago and still gets cravings every now and then.

Are you going with e-cig, patch, gum or anything? I went cold turkey.
Originally posted by NewLanceWinduFirst time I tried everything, mainly inhaltors (shitty things that predated e-cigs) and gum, but it never worked. Then I went cold turkey and it worked, so I'm basically doing the same this time. I usually have a few small joints with my dad in the evening, so they kind of keep me going, but once I get back to uni it'll be full on cold turkey, and I think I'll be ready for it by then
