i actually lost track of how many pills i had left. woke up one morning - went to take my pill and found none left. i went a week seeing if the cravings would return but nothing. by the end the only real side effect that was noticeable was the kick ass dreams.

i'm in here going over college and nfl lines, while drinking coffee, and not smoking. I would have told you that was impossible at one time. That neutral feeling that you had, I called cloudy. I just never felt like I could wrap my mind around anything. Once that clears, it's smooth sailing.

Jack - The first week you start, and you are smoking while taking the pill, it was amazing to me how I got no pleasure from the smoke.

Good luck to both of y'all

tomorrow is the big day.

the only effects from that pill are the vivid dreams and i'm still not sure i like that.

anyway, no smokes starting tomorrow. that's it!

i know the first week is the toughest and i'm not going to drink for 4 weeks (superbowl weekend). i just hope i can hold on.

hope you're still smoke free bubba!

Yep...still smoke free here. Actually stopped taking the pills on the 22nd. Didnt want to pay the $110 for the next months supply and also wanted to see about getting out of the "neutral" state.

Everything went back to normal for me and I havent had any cravings. No more dreams....no more neutral state...and dont get irritated with the wife for no reason anymore.

GL to you Jack. Enjoy the dreams.

Holy shit, you're doing it?!!!

If I can do it, so can you. You cannot imagine how much better you will feel in 3 months! But for now....it sucks.

If you MUST, go get those no-nic cigs, helped me the first 2 weeks. They taste like shit but it helps get over the oral fixation. That, and a lot of sunflower seeds!

Throw out your old toothbrush. Wash all your clothes, 3 times, clean your car out (if you smoke in it), throw away the stinky ashtrays.

Something I did was tape a brand new pack of cigs to my dashboard and to my bathroom mirror. I stared at those fukcers everyday and kicked their ass. Been 5 years now and I still want a cig everyday, think they're addictive?

And you get to purge in preparation and pay for the privilege as well! :scared

Wouldn't it be a lot more entertaining to contribute that same money at the Bunny Ranch?! :shrug:

What is a Colonoscopy?

The term "colonoscopy" means looking inside the colon. It is a procedure performed by a gastroenterologist, a well-trained subspecialist.

The colon, or large bowel, is the last portion of your digestive or GI tract. It starts at the cecum, which attaches to the end of the small intestine, and it ends at the rectum and anus. The colon is a hollow tube, about five feet long, and its main function is to store unabsorbed food products prior to their elimination.

The main instrument that is used to look inside the colon is the colonoscope, which is a long, thin, flexible tube with a tiny video camera and a light on the end. By adjusting the various controls on the colonoscope, the gastroenterologist can carefully guide the instrument in any direction to look at the inside of the colon. The high quality picture from the colonoscope is shown on a TV monitor, and gives a clear, detailed view.

Five feet:shrug: , may as well be 30 feet:mj07:
