I stopped taking chantix after 17 days I am on day 30 and slipped up on day 26 can I start where I left off of Chantix? Really don't know what to do. I was happy and very content and just slipped up.
Why did you stop Chantix? Call your dr and see if you need to start at the base or can go back to where you left off. Just stop smoking. Start your count again.....that's what we do when we make a choice to start smoking. And listen to Dale above.
Why did you choose to smoke? Figure that out so you don't make the same mistake again.
I made it for 26 days and then slipped up. When I quit smoking I was at 2-6 a day. I guess I thought I did not need the chantix anymore because I was not a heavy smoker. I learned differently when I slipped up. I just want to know if I can start back where I left off?
I know I chose to smoke and I regret it. It does feel like a failure in myself.
I hope I learn that I was just as miserable with that in my hand as I was for 25 years. There was no "joy" or "relief" just hiding and smoking and letting myself down. Really this is a struggle that is not easy and I want to quit. I was a smoker for 25 years, a quitter for 26 days, a smoker for 3days and today I will be a quitter again.
I don't think I can start the chantix back up because I have had it out of my system to long.
If I am reading this correctly today is day 1. Drink lots of water and do slow deep breathing. Remember when a crave hits it only lasts a few minutes. Read,read,read and take from peoples blogs what will work for you in your quit, we are all here you !
Rather than try to answer the Chantix question yourself, you might call your pharmacist, They may be able to advise you. If not, call your doctor tomorrow. Don't give up on taking it yet if it appeared to help!
