Joel gets this shit all the time. It is ridiculous.

An oncologist doesn't have to have cancer in order to help a patient

just as a psychiatrist doesn't have to be a sociopath to help a sociopath or a psychopath for that matter.

They are learned professionals, just like Mr. Spitzer.

 

Please, take what you need a leave the rest.

There is no reason to disparage a man who has committed his life to help people quit smoking and has helped so many.

  

I have an opinion and I'll voice it about quitting smoking. Go into a meeting with a serious drug addiction and tell the cocaine addict how to stop never having used. Joel isn't a DR. I dont have to accept it because you tell me. That's how his site is run, if they use NRT/relapse they cant post. I think its wrong and that's my opinion and I'll voice it. If you don't like it, i don't care

 @Sazerac Now that you mention it, I remember seeing this video. Its a great video. However, in a way, it made me doubt if I plan my quit, I will be successful. But I had to plan, at least for the juice (since the juice I wanted may have not been easily available at the local store). Besides, I like to be mentally prepared when undertaking something new. Again, what works for one person may/may not work for another. So like I said, to each his/her own.

No quit is the same, i agree. Joel has some great videos and how disappointed i was to find out recently that he never smoked. Whoever's words he's delivering are very wise and will help a person looking to quit

cold-blooded

Cubs designate Carlos Gonzalez for assignment.  It will be interesting to see if another team takes a chance on him.  Otherwise, if he clears waivers, he winds up back in the Cubs minor league system.  I hope that happens and I do hope he can make a comeback at some point in the near future.

 

Kyle Hendricks is about to come off the injured list as Cole Hamels is placed on the injured list.

 

Cubs are still in first place but this team is pretty banged up.  I'm curious as to what moves, if any, are made before the trade deadline.

Hope Cubs, Dodgers or Braves can stop the Yankees if the Astros cant. They are so Hot they may never lose again . The two games in london the pitchers didnt show up. Im not sure who could need a OF to scoop cargo, he may just go unclaimed

well i know why i jumped into coke and meth. its why i started smoking too. it felt like being part of a secret club of smokers and potheads and cokeheads and tweakers and gay girls. i know htats so stupid, being gay and getting into deadly and addictive drugs arent the same thing, but at 14, i thought they were. at 15, though, i saw drugs make me lose my first gf and stoped associating getting high with being gay

 

also, its easy to stay away from coke and meth when i dont know where to get them anymore. and its easy to stay away from weed b/c i can't go to school or work high if i want to get anything done. and it was easy to throw away my fake id to stay away from cigarettes, but now im legal and can buy them. shit.

The new series hits on this, called euphoria.

2 Months is Awesome, Congrats Moonglyn

Hi hesteralumni,

      After reading i recognize the cycle. Its self destruction, after a long quit i have blown a good 10 quits this same way. I'd go 2-3 weeks boom have a couple of ciggs get to the point of a few months do it again. I also ventured into alcohol, my mindset was way off and i was in a bad place mentally. Each time i relapsed it was F-IT with the same physical and mental feeling after . There's is a lot of people like this so dont feel alone but when we as humans get self destructive its how we deal with fear. You moved over to coke and meth and i have never used them so i have 0 experience with those drugs. I would recommend you  look into a meeting in your area, i know these forums are the easy way as some are shy and or embarrassed to go in person but you'll find support and understand why you have jumped into coke and meth. As far as the smoking, come here and when you hit that low self destructive point stop by and someone will be here for you to talk to and help you through that hurdle . The coke and meth ive seen people beg for help and they truly couldn't stop why i mention a meeting, you're very young with a lot of life ahead and we all make mistakes.

I don’t think it hurts to share different experiences and methods on how people have quit. Doesn’t harm anyone and might even give someone who’s struggling to hold their quit a new idea

It doesn't, whatever road you take... As long as it leads you to

If i can do it, you can do it. I agree use the NRT as a step down. Quite a few quitters here and each quit is different. Find the support you're comfortable with to help you over the hurdles

868 days for you Roz, i just looked at your quit date and 2/10/2010 was my orig quit date. You learn from my mistake (blown 9/24 2012)
