1 Week Smoke-Free!  Today is Day 8.  It's so much better this time with Chantix.  And I continue to do daily quit excercises from quitplan.com and getquit.net.  Anyone else using Chantix's program?  They call me in the am and pm.  In the am, they give me an excercise to do. In the pm they call to ask if I smoked that day,  I like it.  It keep me on top of things and accountable.

Hope everyone else is doing well.  The Mayo program was instrumental in me getting this far.

You will make it Jeanie. You are strong. There are days I could scream and say the hell with it. But, went thru so much to get this far. I am down to 1 patch and Chantix. No puffer any more. The worse for me is when I'm in the truck. That one is the hardest.

You have a good one.

HI Everyone! The movie "The Insider" is on tonite, Thur. 3/4/10 at 7pm CST on channel ENCd (Encore Drama).  This is the movie Dr. Hurt told us about.  Its about the guy who blew the whistle on the tobacco companies.  It stars Russell Crowe and Al Pacino and is really good.

I'm working my quit -- on Day 6 now.  N.O.P.E.  (Not One Puff Ever)

Hi Everyone.  Yes, I had some problems with intense urges and withdrawal symptoms.  I went on Chantix and happy to say I'm on Day 3 of quitting cigarettes.  It really helps with the urges and with. symptoms.  I think everyone in our group that started on Chantix during or before the program are still doing well.  That was another reason for me going on it.  I still take to Barb on a regular basis and so keep in touch there.  I'll write more on this group now.

I've learned a lot from other sources besides Mayo since I graduated, so I am armed with information and education. 

Today my Quit Coach said my task for today is Just Not Smoke Today and don't worry abt. the big picture.

Anyone else using the Chantix getquit.com program?

All of a sudden I have been dreaming about smokes. Last night, We were all sitting in class and Sandy come in with a smoke. Carma said to Sandy, " How was your flight"? Never said one word about the smoking. I don't know were this came from. I got to confident with myself and it bit me in the butt. Cravings went up and down. But hay, thats ok I can bit back to.

Good to hear from ya Dave. Carma stay busy. Good for a person.
