try chantix! pfizer definitely has found a new fan with me.. oh, maybe i shouldnt have said that.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

congrats mate!

this is now day 2 without smoking; there's a set of pills you're supposed to take for the first 2 (?) weeks with weaker pills.. since they didnt have it in the pharmacy, i went straight to the hardcore-stuff.. first day was hell, felt like a zombie on extasy! chantix blocks the receptors for nicotine and adds dopamine. sounded like a cool mix to me, and so far, it seems to work quite well. of course it doesnt break the "habit", but reduces the craving considerably.. altough yesterday evening.. so i went to bed really early and got myself entertained with the "vivid dreams".. like all drugs that mess with your brain-chemistry, the list of side effects is pretty extensive, nothing i've experienced already, and much less at that as far as i can tell for now. i'm pretty happy with the results so far!

a v306 is just right for me, and, it WILL hold a 90 velo if i ever get there.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i jump a cypres2, so that one must be better! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

ssshhhhhh, its Frau *insert last name*, we may say ms. (Fräulein) only, but mrs. (Frau) would definitely go with a 2nd name; or you resort to fräulein, if you're trying to be charming.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not.

you should ask the question the other way around; you're not skydiving anywhere in europe with your USPA insurance; needs to be covered by at least 1'000'000$ in some, 3'000'000$ in other countries. thats 3rd party liability only, nobody here cares for insurance for yourself.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

you know, my doc's an old man, when i've asked him, he said i wouldnt need a prescription; as i havent really informed myself, i already knew that you would need one for both. so i looked around myself.. so, medical advice is kinda out! day three now with chantix, smoked considerably less the first two days (like from almost 40 down to 7 or so smokes), this is the first day i dont want to smoke at all. so far, i'm up to it! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

+1 reading the book was long and tiring to me.. phildo, those books are some of the most inspiring, most fantasyful writings out there. tolkien created a completely new WORLD for you, in every detail, with languages.. and you say it was "tiring"!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

dont they only taze you with 50'000 instead of 100'000 volts!? doesnt change the fact you've had the balls to step up tough!

the drug's here for a month or so now.. i think i'll get along fine with it for the time being.. now, i'm kind of experienced with drugs that mess with your mind, for both recreational and medical reasons.. i stopped the one for the better of it, the other i quit since i didnt feel the need to it anymore.. so, that chantix-stuff should be a walk in the park for me now.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

good to hear, just got back with the chantix-thingies.. no-one here except the doggie; i'll start tomorrow.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

am not really trashing theiir training, but saying "we're better than everyone else" is pretty much a bold statement.. the way from home's a good thing tough!

thanks everyone, after reading up a bit, i think i'll give the chantix/champix a go; if my "chute didnt open", you know who's to blame! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

isnt this the coffee-thread!? but hey, bring it on anyway! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

the only attempt that i'd call "successful", i quit for three months straight.. and if i've ever been cranky, gawd, i'd snap at ANYTHING! NO fun.. and i'm really getting tired of smoking, just cant seem to live without it.. so, since its available, why not go the medical way!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

nope, just thought something sounded fishy, and your rotten fish couldnt be any worse than that! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

just checked the prices from your dz: so AFF is like CHF 700.- more than everywhere else, even the paracentro is cheaper, and that really means something! and they think they're so good, that you'd have to pay extra after that if you were to jump there coming from another school!? then for your NAFF, sorry, just that name's ridicilous, that includes 20 jumps for an outrageous 1790.-? averaging to almost 90.- a pop!? wow, i really hope you have a golden parachute or something.. or an instructor holding your hand on EVERY jump! safety-wise they must be really good too, otherwise they wouldnt of lost an AFF-student just this year.. since all other schools are so substandard to them, i wonder why NONE of their jumpers landed in the ranks from last two years nationals.. that rant's not directed at you, just another observation that skydivers must be amongst groups fullest of shit.. just, WOW!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

wow, i'm just glad i did my jumps at my dz, at least they make sure you learn something.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

just dove out, noticed on the way down that if i'd fuck up, i'd land right on the "stammtisch" of the restaurant.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

waiting for the doctor to call me back for the prescription.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

nice rig! but, and i'm not trying to be an arse here, you better get those wrinkles sorted out, otherwise, they'll stay forever! i hope they're not on the reserve-container also.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i meant no as in "no, i didnt last long not smoking".. thats the name of a prescription drug to help you quit smoking; but the other may help too!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

why did i knew i could rely on you for random BS!? i dont want to know what you or your GF are playing with, but i bet its you.. no! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
