candice, welcome! We all care!! I am also on chantix. I just thought I would let you know that a lot of my "blues" came from actually the lack of nicotine since the chantix blocks its effects. the sadness went away after a few days... whatever you choose, this is a great place to be and a lot of cool people. I use this damn computer to escape my cravings all the time. Good luck, you can do it!!

Hi Candace! I am Danielle! Welcome! This is a great opportunity for you and everyone on here to get the support we all need. I am on day 2 without smoking. I decided not to use any meds. I am using good ole fashion lollipops lol! I haven't been smoking nearly as long as you. I have been smoking for about 10 years. Either way it is hard.

If nobody cares, you still have to care. And when you care someone else will care. Its all in your power!

Hey there Candice!! You have come to the right place if you want to find people to care and to help you through it all. This place has been such a blessing to me and the people are so willing to listen and to give advice. Not only do you get feed back for all of your questions, but you get a chance to help someone else who is going through exactly what you are going through. It's almost like we are hand in hand walking down the same road... some may be farther ahead, but they always look back to see if someone needs help with keeping up. You will never be alone in this place. I think you using the patch instead of the chantix is a wise decision on your part. Some people just react differently to it and need to try something else. What ever works for you, and you may need to try several different things to know for sure. I think that the fact that you are trying to quit and are here is the most important thing in the world! Best of luck to you Candice, and God Bless.
