what are some of the new years resolutions you have.mine are not to spend sooo much $$$$ on fishing gear,lose some weight ::) and going for another promotion at work.
-
I dunno if it is a resolution but my goal is to buy a house this year, I already quit my bad habits cept for drinking coffee and I won't ever be quitting that :) so I will stick with goals :)

I also dont want to spend as much money this year not just on fishing gear but everything. I will however buy a kicker and side panels for my boat but other than that nothing other than stuff I absolutley need.
I want to quit smoking for good.
Fish more still waters.
Fish more on the fly.
Meet new fishing friends and take them out on my boat.

I'm supposed to quit smoking!! I'll let you know how that works out!! ;D
-
It has been 4 weeks for me. I just could not wait till new years.
-
I need to quit too! :-\ Gonna give it a serious go this time round...

I used zyban. I tried the patch and cold turkey before but with zyban it has been easy. Even being around people that smoke has not been a problem the smoke now really stinks and makes you fell sick.
-
A friend of mine said the same about Zyban. I'm gonna try cold turkey and if that doesn't work I'll try Zyban or an herbal product called Zero Nicotine. Info can be found here http://www.quitsmoking.com/ (http://www.quitsmoking.com/)

Another one you might want to look at is, and I am not sure this is spelled right, but I think it is Wel-beutrin. That is probably the wrong spelling. But I am pretty sure that Flyguy will come on here and correct me. He was the one that told me about it. It is also covered under most medical plans. Zyban isn't. This stuff is exactly the same as Zyban, just a different name on it. :)
-
Yes both medications work the same. In fact they are the same except that wel-beautrin is the generic form of zyban. Extended plans just have not caught on to this. Zyban will run you $68 a month for three months. Small price to pay for your health. If you can get a doctor to give you a perscription for the other then do it because you will get money back from your extended medical plan.

I quit on Dec 10th 2005 I just used Nicorette gum :)
I used Zyban the first time I quit, it helped but it also made me depressed and paranoid , not the best side effects to have !
TR
-
Depressed? Zyban is a antidepressant. It sure made me happy. I call them my happy pills. When I tried to stop cold turkey my wife said that I was a complete ahole. I do know people that did stop smoking by using nicorette but they have been using nicorette for 8 years now.
-
Yeah it is an anti-depressent , I talked to my doc about it and he told me that if you aren't depressed it can have the opposite effect :o weird
-
I just keep telling my wife that zyban is just like viagra. So if she want me to quit smoking then she has to put up with it for 3 months ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D . So far she has not believed me :( :( .

my older brother ended up in the psych ward at VGH after 1 week on zyban.... he really wigged out. The Docs decided he was allergic.... he really wigged out, had no idea what was happening to him. It was really scary times for him and the family. My Doc won't perscribe it to me just in case i have the same reaction..... really sux cuz i want to quit smoking, have tried the patch, have tried the gum.... tried a herbal detox quit smoking tea.... nothin works. Oh well.... I'll figure that one out.
My new years resolutions..... I WILL hunt and harvest a 6x6 or better Elk this year, I will get my biggest bull moose to date..... and I will hunt big horn rams this year... oh... and i'm gonna get married hehehe
-
well i only have one resolution,come to think of it ,its the same one as last year :-\,that is to quit my habit of using Copenhagen ,hopefully this time around i will have the will power to succeed,oh flyguy ya your wife is right quitting cold turkey has turned you into an a hole,it seems to me that you have been quitting cold turkey for several years now,lol ;D ;)

My resolutions: quit my job, find a new career, spend less money, & catch a Steely before Scruffy! ;D ;)
