    The only people who would care about their imaginary internet points are Queers. Don't know what you were expecting.

    had a bizarre number of trans people, like 1/4 of the members were trans

    Rephrased like this it makes perfect sense:

    had a bizarre number of people who are narcissistic and unemployed, who get their rocks off by domineering online

    Ugh...Chantix, although it worked, caused me so many problems.

    I heard it gives you extremely fucked up dreams.

    what sort of problems did it cause for you?

    if it's similar to what I tried 10 years ago it functions as an anti-depressant. My dad smoked for years then started it and stopped for a few years then started again. When I took it I just felt like a zombie, no cravings though.

    Neither of us have smoked for probably close to 8? years and we're both on an e-cigarette. I'm not claiming it's good for you, I'm not claiming anything, but if you're serious about quitting and have an addictive personality just get a fucking vape and stop lying to yourself with the "this time!" and "cold turkey" nonsense. The first time I quit smoking was for 3 months and I quit cold turkey. I was out with friends one night and had constant cravings, I couldn't focus on the conversation or anything other than smoking a cigarette. This was 3 months after my last cigarette. If you think you can beat this, fair enough, but I couldn't.

    Well for starters fucked up dreams don't begin to describe it. The absolute worst was, for about 10 years after taking it, my brain LITERALLY shut off my autonomic breathing. Day after day I would notice myself gasping for air until I started realizing I hadn't slept in months, then years. Losing sleep really fucks you up but no matter what I would be doing, I would just sit there not breathing. Then out of nowhere I would gasp like I just surfaced from underwater. It eventually went away but damn that was a long 10 years. Still haven't smoked, though.

    sounds awful, hope you're healthier and doing better now.

    It was so incredibly difficult words can't describe. Think years of slow torture and you'll start to understand what sleep deprivation does to you. But thanks, I am much better now. It sort of went away on its own.

      Just get a fucking vape. It has by far the highest success rate. Pills won't stop the mental addiction. The only thing that actually works is replacing it with something less harmful.

      yeah I tried to make this point above. I had cravings that lasted nearly an hour after 3 months without a single cigarette. It never leaves you

      You don't actually stop smoking until the 2nd to 3rd week of Varenicline.
