BTW, I stopped smoking last year for 2.5 months and was so proud of myself. All of the sudden one night after a glass of wine, I asked my husband for a ciggy. Bad Move! If I hadn't had that one....well, it was a bad move. What a dumb arse I was! I wish my husband would quit :( There's no way I'm bringing home this puppy though and smoke around her. Hubby will smoke outside. I'm rootin' for ya! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: I also wanted to mention, I could tell a difference in my craving on the very first day. I'm still smoking but I lose interest in a cig about a quarter of the way through. I'm putting out more than I'm smoking. That's a good thing :D |

:cheer: :cheer: You can do this! :cheer: :cheer: I quit with Chantix too and it really does help a lot. To tell you the truth, I didn't really even want to quit- I liked smoking. I mean I did wish I didn't smole but I quit because I had always promised my daughter I would quit when I turned 35 and I turned 35 on Dec. 29th so it was time to pay the piper. I figure if I could quit almost against my will, anyone can.:D Good luck! We're here for you!:) |

I quit once for a yr and half. and last year decided to do it again. It is very very hard to do. I have to stress very very hard to do. I was a fool to pick it up again but this time I am determined to leave them alone. my husband quit the same time as i did and is back at it again. he is supposedly trying to quit again since last week. I can't tell you how disgusting it its to smell it on him. I threatened to start again if he don't give it up. when I get the urge....... I just go yell at him and I feel so much better.:D |
I'm really proud for you, and hope I can join you soon. |
Good LUCK!!!! I wish you ALL the best!!! My idea is, if you sit in front of a computer or like to write keep a notepad or word doc handy. Everytime you get a craving type or write in it. Get through the craving by keeping your hands busy! I quit once for a year and I did this and it helped so much. I typed the date and time of the craving and then started typing like a mad woman, cussing, swearing, ranting, begging, pleading, bargaining... whatever it took! When the craving passed I saved and closed the doc. Not only was it fun to read later, but I also saw how the cravings diminished where somedays I had 10 rants to somedays I had none. |

I'm glad to hear that someone quit who didn't even want to :D That would be me. I want to for the health benefits and the fact that they stink, but otherwise, I enjoy smoking. I'd like to live to see all my grandchildren and great grands! Hopefully this will help me to do that. Did you take the chantix today? |
Yes I just got My prescription in the afternoon so I took it then rather than in the morning |
I quit November 11th. Almost 4 months. I still crave smoking, but refuse to spend all that money. My advice is this. When you get nauseous, breathe deeply. I only felt sick for about 10 or 15 minutes about 10 minutes after I took the pill. I could breathe deeply and get through it. My advice is to take the medicine for 12 weeks. I only took it for 4 weeks because it was so expensive. So take it for the 3 months if you can!! Good Luck. With me, it was behavior modification, cause I would come home from work and immediately open a beer and smoke a cigarette! So I had to learn to do other things. Good Luck! You can do it!!!! |

I just realized this morning that I was supposed to take another chantix last night. On the 4th day, you take two and I didn't, so I took last night's pill this morning. I don't want to throw the whole thing off, so I'm going to read the package insert and see what it suggests to do. I probably should have skipped last night's pill after I realized I'd forgotten it and just took this mornings and added that forgotten pill at the end. Oh well... How's it going? |
oh I am happy you are making this big step . . . .it will definitely make you much healthier. . . my hubby stopped smoking the day before 9/11 but I think he has gone back (not a lot though) so am very pissed at him for being so weak :( |

I felt really sick for 4 or 5 days and then it passed. I know Lori ended up taking a half dose and that worked for her. Don't give up!:thumbup: |
Good for you!! I quit smoking 13 years ago.... My mother passed away of lung cancer when I was 18. She smoked 2 packs a day. That was back in 1983 and it was really horrible to watch her die. You would think I would've quit when she died. But at least I finally got smart and did it. I have never wished for a cigarette again either. Remember 99% in the mind - if you truly are sick of smoking and berate yourself everytime you light up that cigarette, you'll definitely kick the habit. I tried to quit a million times before, but the difference that last time was my attitude and I was quiting for myself and no one else. Good luck!! It's not easy to kick- if it was than nobody would smoke! YOU CAN BEAT THIS! |
