I'm about to go for it again.

The short term is not the problem....incredibly stubborn and look at the addiction as a living nemesis that I do battle with....so getting passed 2 weeks is just a cold turkey matter of will.

Around 6 months is where I seem to faulter...not completely sure why....but know that 1 of the psych factors is using cigs as a sort of "reward".(hence the smoke "break").....I'll finish my chores...then I'll have a cigarette. It's NOT a DARN reward.

For the short term "tootsie pops" work better than gum for me (has the "oral" thing...don't go there)....and the fidgety hand thing covered.

I'll be starting the Chantrix program in about 2 days. I have quit before for about 6 months, but got stressed out about my daughter having surgery and started again. I think 45 years of smoking is enough for anyone. time to quit.

U all reliz that as long as we can get other peopl 2 give up that, big cos lik pall mall will end up getiin mad and goin belly up,And like I sayed,I promised my dad b4 he passed on that I would,I did not make good on that untill now.WWe all need 2 stand 2gether and kick this problem right in the ol butt.And I am sooooo proud of thoes of u who have decided 2 at least 2 tryin 2 quit, and of u who have already quit.

chantix after christmas! have to get through the holidays first and i want to be home when i start (im a teacher so i will on christmas vacation.)

Winnie I hope that u will b able 2 beat it.I should have called this the support page.

you can do it...there will always be a reason or stress ..like I said I want one everyday...you just have to committ to not even having one......maybe we can start a support thread...lol

Careful with that Chantrix-
Heard some stuff about it.
Can cause seriousely bad dreams...ask around before using please!

Chantrix can also cause seizures in people so yea MsTeddy I agree really check into it first

Just take it 1 day at a time, it is ok if u cheet, cause lord knows I cheeted when I was workin on it,but that is 2 b expeded,all U have 2 do is try realy hard and U can do it.

A PROMISE TO A KID...................IS LIKE A VOW TO GOD...................FOR ME........................IT CAN BE DONE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,FINISH PERIOD. <<<<<<<<<<<<<

my doctor told me chantax was not a good way to go it causes elevated blood pressure. after having a massive heart attack about 3 years ago, the most important thing is to keep blood pressure down.

Still Smokeless!!!

Still Smokeless!!!

Chantix may cause high blood pressure, but so does smoking, so I chose chantix, after smoking for 45 years and being diabetic, I need this to help me quitfor good. I may even get a few more ballroom dances when I quit.

UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! I want a smoke!!!!!!!!!

lol

YOU don't want a smoke.....the nicotene receptors in your brain do.....the only way to make them stop wanting the nicotene is to deprive them until they are used to not having it. Much the same way you started in the first place.

on november 1, i am going on the patch i talked to my dr. and he said ok...i have quit before this way

Good Luck Sleepy..you can do it! I don't think quiting is that hard.....I think staying quit is the hard part.

well sadly it was eat or smoke, guess which one won?
