Quitting smoking AGAIN

by bleshuComment Published at 12:5412:540 comments0 comments35 Visits35 VisitsReport

I've decided its time to quit smoking again.  I have been trying to quit for the last 5yrs and nothing has worked for me.  I tried cold turkey and ended up crying over every little thing and getting really anxious and horribly snappish.  Then I tried cutting down and I watched the clock all day.  Next was the patches and they sent me mental, I couldnt stop crying for 3 days!  It was a nightmare.  And finally, the last time I tried those anti depressants which were supposed to stop the cravings.  They actually worked the best but they kept me awake all night and made me constipated.  I did quit for 3 weeks though without the crying or the snapping everyones head off but silly me thought it would be ok to have 1 cigarette a week with my friends at beer o'clock which turned into 1 every other day then 1 a day until I was finally smoking again. 

I was hiding from my kids at the club the other day and I saw an ad on the tv for this new one.... its called Nicobrevin.  From what I can tell it works the same as the antidepressants by cutting out the cravings but without the nasty side effects.  They cost $200 but Im going to give them a shot.  for anyone thats interested, the website is www.nicobrevin.com I bought them off www.pharmacyonline.com as they were $30 cheaper.

Wish me luck!  Hopefully this time I will no better than to think I can just have 1.

More voting

by bleshuComment Published at 14:2014:202 comments2 comments16 Visits16 VisitsReport

I have to say I am pretty unimpressed with the new photo section.  I love the fact that we can share photo's of our families on here but do they really need to be voted on too? 

I just read a question by "cookclan" and she was upset by someone voting her comments down.  This is not the only time I have read an article or question about people being upset by the voting system. 

I understand that it's a neccessary part of minti as it helps you to see how many other people agreee with the advice given but do we need to vote on peoples families?  Its a bit much dont you think?  I have had people tell me in my lounge that I have cute kids isn't that enough without having to give thumbs up?
