And you think nicotine has no effect on dopamine or serotonin?

Of course it does. But the amount of Dopamine released from say..Heroine, When compared to cigarettes...Not even in the same ball park.

If you can achieve a "high" from cigarettes then you must be dipping them in embalming fluid.

Anyways...sleep time, Goodluck to me!

Oddly enough I understand the feeling you had when you typed this. Good luck, it can be done!

I smoked for 38 years the last 10 3 packs a day of non filtered. I quit a little over a year ago and it is great. I can now take a walk w/o being winded and play with my youngest son. Do not give up. It is all about will power. If a stuborn old man like me can do it so can you.

I read somewhere that quitting nicotine is basically harder than crack or heroin.

I myself tried to get myself to start smoking back when I was 17 but could never really get a taste for it, OH WELL

Quit smoking six years ago, cold turkey - had been a pack a day smoker for 8 years. For me, it was the decision. Sounds simplistic, but I realized that after several attempts to quit (using every crutch imaginable) I had been going about it all wrong. I was attempting to quit. As soon as I realized there is a difference between going into it with a "I'm going to try to quit" attitude versus a "I'm am going to stop putting this shit into my body, forever, starting today." I was able to stop with success.

It was not easy in terms of withdrawls, as other have mentioned. EQ saved me, really, because it gave me something to do on weekends during the six months - yes SIX - that I did not go out to bars. That was a tough decision but a necessary one. Going out with friends was, for me, the worst temptation, as well as driving to work (I took the bus for awhile as an alternative) and rode my bicycle some days. It REALLY helped that Washington passed laws forbidding smoking indoors. No more smoke at bars. I went to the gym - a lot, and took up jogging (slow at first because of my shitty smokers lungs, working my way up to 3-4 miles)

The point is, the first few weeks are the worst. It gets easier. It can be done without crutches. I'd wish you luck, but really...luck has zero to do with it.
