Here is my process for quitting addictive substances.


Skiles

Recommended Posts

  1. Contemplate quitting
  2. Time out everything so I can quit on a certain day
  3. Freak out
  4. Go back to using the substance immediately
  5. Use substance twice as much
  6. Repeat

That's how it's going with me and caffeine right now, and that's how it went with cigarettes for a couple years.

I'm on the nicotine patch right now, and it actually works. It gives me some unusually vivid dreams sometimes though.

Yeah, you're not supposed to sleep with those on. I figured that out when I had a dream where I watched a 12-foot-tall man set my childhood house on fire. :RoboIndifferent:

I'm not doing the patch now, though. Cold turkey, baby!

And by cold turkey, I mean I've had three cigarettes since April 22. <.<

I had to quit smoking for this new job.  I had ween off using Vape then went cold turkey.  I passed my nicotine test and really want to go back to smoking but I'm afraid they will retest me when I start.

What weird job do you have that requires you to test for nicotine?
