Re:Smoking - 2008/10/01 09:23
...and on a “lighter” note  :
Today makes my 33rd completely smoke-free day! I guess that since it’s now been more than a month, I’ll start counting by weeks instead of days. 
I quit smoking after 5 days of taking Zyban. However, I was having such severe nighttime stomachaches and headaches that I had to quit taking the drug only 3 days after I laid down the cigarettes – it was kinda like quitting smoking twice in one week!  Luckily, I was on vacation that week so I didn’t have to deal with those pesky little stress-induced smoking triggers of work. 
For anyone who may be wondering, my child and husband are still alive and well! 
And, Robin, me too! There are moments (and I guess there always will be) when I want a smoke so bad my mouth waters! But those moments are coming much less frequently and are passing much more quickly!
Robin, I think you will do just fine when you quit taking the Chantix. By that time you will be 3 months smoke-free and more in the habit of not picking up a cigarette than picking one up!
Yea Robin and me!!!!!

This is my 6Th day taking Chantix and I really like it.I gave away a pack and a half, plus my lighter. I am supposed to quit tomorrow anyway. I do not feel stressed or anything like I did about 6 years ago when I quit for 2 months. That was using Wellbutrin. I was a nervous wreck and my boss at the time handed me his cigarettes and told me to go and smoke. That was all it took. I was hooked again. This time I no longer live with a smoker and I am more determined to stick to my guns. Thanks everyone. I will be checking back in.
Well, I am still not smoking and love it. I have to say that the last couple of days that I have wanted one, but have held fast. This is probably the best thing that I have done for myself ever. I am concerned about when I am no longer taking the Chantix. I just started my 2ND month supply and will have to take a 3rd. I go to the doctor today to check in with him on how I am doing. There are some small side effects, but not anything that I can't live with. 
we lost another one."
