TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Smoking Cessation foods, herbs?

After 20 years of being the tobacco companies' bitch, I have decided to quit the evil habit...

I'm not exactly trusting of the pharma's either, so I am looking for more natural solutions to counteract the ill effects of suddenly dropping a 20 year habit. 

Posting here helps keep my hands busy, replaces the 15 minute time-outs that smoking provides and has been a first step.

I am taking red clover for its cleansing properties as well as keeping a high garlic diet for the same purpose.

Using Valerian Root and St. John's Wort for the moody effects.

Any ideas beyond this?  The folks at the local GNC weren't much help and on-line is filled with pharma bs...

Your body is cleansed of the physical addiction in about a week, maybe 2.

The mental addiction is forever.  Well, pretty close to forever.

If there is an herbal remedy for psychological withdrawl, it hasn't made itself well-known.

Some evidence indicated Iboga aka Ibogane was useful in some tests at breaking psychological addiction. Then someone died...

Stay drunk and passed out for a year.  You'll forget you smoked!

I can tell you that wearing multiple patches and chewing the gum will lead to people thinking you are insane or on a coke binge.

It WAS NOT me who did this, it was a co-worker!  He went completely nuts!

Triple Zero

in one of my more successfull stopping attempts (lasted 6 months), i spent the first couple of days of physical withdrawal in a drunken stupor.

it worked.

it worked so brilliantly!

it worked so amazingly brilliantly because i sat at the bar, being very pissed (both pissed of alcohol and pissed off of not smoking) and there was this really annoying girl who always comes on to *every* single boy in the bar and she was talking to me, and i started dissing her, with a slurred tongue, and i didn't stop, and i completely and utterly destroyed her with my words. and i forgot nearly everything about it cause a friend of mine (who was tending the bar) told me later i did such a good job and that he was having so much fun watching a completely wasted 000 completely pwning that girl.

doesnt have much to do with quitting smoking, but they were good times.

otoh, other friends were worried that i was switching one addiction for the other. but i neatly reverted to my original drinking pattern after 3 days had passed (and on the fourth day, 000 was too hungover to smoke).

Didn't I suggest the drunken method above???  See it DOES work! :lulz:

I wish I had time to be drunk.

Not to mention my drinking bone is directly connected to my smoking bone.

The pills and anti-sucker resolve cocktail: I'm calmer than I remember being last time I quit.

Tomorrow is poker, a real test, I just need to channel the hate.
