Tonite's the night that I will hopefully become an ex-smoker. After years (and an unthinkable amount of $ spent) of gum and patches that all ultimately didn't work for me...cf-cfommunity's own Robert Bailey (who is accompanying me as well) brought this to my attention.
http://www.stopsmokingjacksonville.com In a nutshell, it's two shots...one behind each ear. supposedly kills the chemical receptors in the brain that are addicted to nicotine. they eventually grow back 'addiction-free'. tomorrow I should wake up a bit groggy...but with no more physical addiction to nicotine. It's a very weird thought. I know the psychological addiction will still be there...I'm just hoping that with my body not screaming out for a cigarette that I'll be strong enough to handle just that aspect of it (I was no match when I got double-teamed by a physchological -and- a physical addiction). I'm just shy of 37 years old...and have been at least a pack-a-day smoker since I was 15. That's a pretty significant portion of my life that I've lived with a body that has physically craved nicotine 24/7/365. I'm having a pretty hard time imagining what it's going to be like waking up tomorrow with that feeling gone. Hell, i wasn't this nervous before I got married or before either of my kids was born. I think my -biggest- fear is that I'll eventually cave in to the psychological cravings. At that point, I may just have to accept that I'll likely die earlier than I needed to because if two shots to the brain don't keep me off of cigarettes...I don't know that there's anything else out there that possibly could. anyway...just thought i'd share. thanks for listening :) -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
