Re: Quitting smoking?

I smoked for 23 years and I loooooooooved to smoke. Smoked about 2 1/2 packs a day and couldn't imagine quitting. But I had to either quit them of they were gonna "quit" me.

I finally quit when I got the "shot". One small shot behind each ear and one regular size shot in the arm. After 15 minutes I was completely wasted for about 4 or 5 hours with the worst case of cotton-mouth I've ever had.

They also give you two weeks worth of the same medicine that was in the shots. But I only took those for one week and then quit.

Anyway, once I "woke-up" from having gotten the shot, that was it! I've never wanted another one. No side effects (except the ones I just mentioned) or sickness. I did keep some suckers around to deal with that whole hand-to-mouth habit you develop when you smoke but I finally quit those, too.
