Quitting is easy. I've done it a thousand times.

This time has to work.Good luck suebe. Don't put unneeded pressure upon yourself. Just follow the program, and keep reminding yourself why you want to quit smoking. What it is about cigarettes you don't like. It's ok if you don't quit smoking exactly one week after you begin the program, but once you are on the full dose, cigarettes should start tasting pretty nasty, and not really doing anything for you. I had that slight panic attack of never having another cigarette, but I went with it, and the Chantix made it relatively easy.

I've told you before, but don't hesitate to tell your doctor of any, even minor side effects that you are having. There are drugs that can offset them, and luckily, none of the side effects were long lasting with me. It is different for everyone, though.

PM me for support, questions, whatever. You can do it. :)]]><![CDATA[suebe @ 4/17/2008 10:17:25 AM]]>240677

I needed something to offset the nervousness that caffeine brought on. Being awake for sometimes 36 hours at a time will make you drink a lot of coffee.

If you think smoking is nasty, try dipping snuff. It's gross.]]><![CDATA[Alton @ 4/14/2008 10:32:56 AM]]>237914

It wasn't easy, and about two weeks in I called my doctor and told him my fiancee was going to leave me if I didn't kill her first. He prescribed me Klonopin (similar to Valium), but after 2 days of feeling like a zombie, I stopped taking them. Less than a week later, the moodiness disappeared, and I was fine after that. I weened myself off the Chantix after 2 months, with withdrawal symptoms hitting me hard for about a week. Now I'm fine.

Chantix made the difference for me because it changed my whole outlook on smoking. Like others have said, you have to want to quit, but with the patch, I still wanted the cigarette. I'd cheat occasional, while still wearing the patch, and I'd usually go back to smoking within a day or so of finishing the patch.

Chantix made cigarettes disgusting to me. I remember once, about three weeks into it, I walked by a fellow worker that was smoking outside. He held up a cigarette and asked if I wanted one. I didn't say it, but it was as if he had grabbed a wet butt out of a filthy ashtray and offered it to me. I verbally declined but mentally was almost ill with the thought. No other method made me feel that way. I also quickly felt like a nonsmoker, and didn't have those lingering thoughts at the usual times, like after a meal, or when getting into my car.

I advise to have a close relationship with you doctor if you try Chantix, and alert him if you feel just a little off. It doesn't work for everyone, but if you are like me, and have tried just about every other method without being successful, Chantix may be the one.

I seriously thought I'd go through the rest of my life trying to quit. Nine months after my last cigarette, I can't see me going back. Cigarettes still repulse me, and I can't say that I've been tempted to cheat, even once.]]><![CDATA[hOOsker @ 4/14/2008 10:06:44 AM]]>237895« pocksucket : Is there ever a circumstance where that's not true?One that lands you in a Tijuana jail...the cure-all for ever ...]]>2008-04-14T10:06:44+01:002008-04-14T10:06:44+01:00« pocksucket : Is there ever a circumstance where that's not true?One that lands you in a Tijuana jail...the cure-all for ever wanting to go TJ-ing again.
