Good for you I hope it works for you. I did quit in may 2009 I did cold turkey. Very hard thing to do I think about the cig every day. But still struggling to smoke.
Just be strong don't let the cig control your life
Have a great day all
Happy gaming

I'm on my second year now no urge to smoke . but i do have dreams that i still smoke , and that's a little weired i think . also when i quit i really didn't want to just started taking pills to shut my doctor up , and with in , i don't know 3 or 4 wks i wasn't smoking anymore wasn't even trying to quit besides just taking them little pills . actually was so impressed by the way they worked i sometimes find myself talking to people i don't even know that i see smoking and telling them about chantix . but one thing the cost per pill is very high i think they were about $4 a pill and you had to take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening . so if no insurance or if not covered for them type of pills like i wasn't it is very hard to put out $400 month on a maybe , but it really works the program is 3 months but after i quit my Dr. and i decided be a good idea for me to be safe and do 5 months

Hi Gang:
Thanks for your interest in my quest to be a non-smoker.
It's been a rocky couple of weeks. I can't say I have not smoked a single cigarette, but considering I smoked two packs a day, a single smoke every few days is quite an accomplishemnt to me. Won't be long I'll be able to give up that last little smoke and be completely smoke free.
I see the doctor Monday and I'll explain to her that CHantix hasn't relieved my desire to smoke completely. ( I know alot of this is still up to me.) I'll take her advice word for word, and I'll update again after my doctor visit.
I wont quit quitting...

In case anyone is wondering who Sheba is:
I was babysitting for my brothers beagle, and her name is Sheba.
While I had her she got sick and had a prolapsed uterus that was literally hanging outisde her body. I was beside myself. The surgury was $1300, but the vet came thru and allowed my brother to make payments.
It was a terrible experience to say the least but I am happy to report Sheba had the surgury and is doing just fine.

I know you can do it. Deciding you are going to quit and attempting it, to me would seem to be the hardest part. My mom sent me Nicorette for my birthday after I said I would try and stop. It's been 6 months now and I haven't even opened the package. And I'm smoking twice as much. The only way I'm gonna stop is if someone cuts off my my head.

I felt that way too. I smoked so much I amazed myself at the amount I could smoke and not get sick. My body just adjusted to it each time I increased my cigarette intake.
It really got to me when I turned 41. I heard alot about family member dying young in our family, and sure enough, all the young ones that died were smokers. I don't want to die young. I love life, and it boils down to a battle in your own body. Nicotine or me. Who will win. When Chantix came out I just had to say I tried.
It's one thing to say you want to quit, but another if you never try to quit.
I struggle. I can't say that Chantix is some miracle drug for me. I have the desire to smoke each and every day. Yet each day I cut down what I smoke. Is it the medicene? Or just my overwhelming desire to quit this terrible habit.
It is a love-hate relationship. Cigarettes are my best friend. I have the urge to cry when I run out. Panic, anxiety attack. What will I do without them? How can something you love be so bad for you? How can something so enjoyable be so bad for you? They are lying to me, thats what I have come to realize.
I wont quit quitting. At 41 it is not to late to reverse the damage I have done to my lungs and body. There is always hope.
Thanks for letting me rattle.....
