sean, I can't tell you how many times I have said to myself "I wish I would've quit when I was 19" - that is the age I started smoking. I HIGHLY encourage you to quit NOW.. I just learned something... Read More »

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 ... Read More »
Ok, well I fell off the wagon - a few times - but I haven't gone off the track- yet. My hubby fell off the wagon and bought smokes, so whenever he is home, I know they are there and I have had a few. ARGHHHH>>>> /the only thing I can say for myself is that I have NOT gone out and bought a pack, and when I have cheated, it has usually been ONE a day. I feel like I am really lucky I am on the chantix because I can tell the nicotine does nothing for me, they taste terrible, and I am…

OK so day 3... now i understand why people say that day 3 is the worst! I am physically, mentally, and emotionally EXHAUSTED! I am so tired of fighting! I am so tired of reminding myself that I don't smoke when the phone rings etc. No wonder people give up after 3 days. The "novelty" of quitting is gone and now I am just left with frustration. May I vent? I am doing something good, really good for my body so why can't I feel better about it? Yep, I quit but I am not happy about it!! thats not…

ok, day one is a HUGE accomplishment for me. I made it through coffee, driving, chores, dinner, everything. NOT easy, but I must say I think Chantix is the best thing I have ever done! I can tell I am not freaking out as much as the other times I have quit! I just battle with the mental. having to remind myself that I dont smoke and that I dont even get one later. Its like, wow, 12 hours!! Good job, now you can go have one... oops,, no you cant.

ITS MY BIRTHDAY AND I CAN DANCE IF I WANT TOO, DANCE IF I WANT TOO, NO SHORTNESS OF BREATHE IS HAPPENING TO ME!!!! LA LA LA LA LA!
ITS BEEN 15 YEARS SINCE I HAD A BIRTHDAY WITHOUT A PUFF.
63 DAYS SINCE MY LAST PUFF!!!!!!!
Confrontation is my, ( I shouldn't have to go there with you, you should have known) fear. I hate to say it but I think that I consider other b4 myself. But I have learned that I don't, I learned that I have to consider myself first even if it is by nature, knowing or not knowing. I smoked sometimes because it help me deal with things or people or situations or decisions and etc. that I didnot want to deal with. I know that Im not alone with not wanting to deal with unpleasent things or things that may change me when I'm not ready to change. I have accepted that smoking or overeating is not the answer and I have learned to be patient with myself and others. no matter how hard it is, because I need patience from others so badly now. I don't know how long this way of dealing with confrontation will be a notice to me, but I long for the day when it becomes like setting next to a person with a smoke in there hand doesn't bother me, just the smell from the lit smokes bother me. I want to tell people that I learned how to stop smoking and its can be done, but you the smoker got to want to realy quit and be willing to tell that urge that you have made your mind up to stop smoking. The urges are there as reminders that you still have not fullfilled your life with all that makes you complete. I thank all of you for being apart of my quit.
I just joined this group. I am on day 11 on my Chantix and have not smoked for 72 hours. My quit day is today, my birthday. So I decided to smoke tonight and write my good bye letter to the cigarettes. Right now I feel nausea because, at least for me, taking Chantix and smoking is not a good mix. On my first 5 days taking Chantix I smoked and felt terrible! 6th and 7th day I only smoked 3 cigarettes a day. Still felt terrible... The last 2 and half days I did not smoke at all and I felt great!!! I know that I will not smoke anymore. This is my time to quit. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for starting this group. I am glad to be here.
