Today is day #7 of not smoking...

I have had 3 really great days. No cravings, no freakin out on the family, no emotional turmoil. It's been nice. But I go back to work today & I already told ya about my inconsiderate smoking partner. I am not afraid of falling into a relapse or anything like that. I just really don't want to be bothered with negative comments...I might just have to snap on her a**. I really don't want to do that either because I don't people to think I was a nicer person when I was a smoker. Oh well. At the… Continue

It's only been 4 days of being smoke-free?!!!

What a jip! I swear it feels like at least a week. And my boyfriend is still smoking in the house, people who ask me for a ride are still smoking in my car (even though I threw away my ashtray). I don't mind my boyfriends smoke in the house because I can easily leave, but it is hard to leave a moving vehicle that YOU are driving. Oh well. All part of the challenge I suppose. My biggest trigger yesterday and so far today...boredom. I could clean the house but I really don't have the energy for it… Continue

Today was a rough one, my dear ex-ers.

Let me start by telling anyone reading this about my dogs litter of puppies. Husky-Shepard mix, very pretty very cute and loveable and very much on my last nerve. They are just over 7 weeks old, so I took them all to the vet today for shots, etc. Now here's where I went wrong...I should have just stayed my butt in bed, but I am ready for them to go to their new homes so...to the vet we all went. Me, 1 teenage girl, 2 smart-mouthed boys and 8 screaming yelping HOWLING puppies. The vet is only abo… Continue

This is my second time typing this because the last one just disappeared. Freakin awesome!!! So yest…

This is my second time typing this because the last one just disappeared. Freakin awesome!!! So yesterday I had my final exam in Anatomy & Physiology at 8:30 in the morning. Yesterday was also supposed to be my quit day. Well, I smoked half of a cigarette when I got to school, the other half after I finished my test, and then I smoked a whole one on the way home from schoool. I got home around 11 and did 'home' things, and took my pill at noon like usual. Around 1pm, I had to run to the phar… Continue

Boring couple of days on the homefront...

Today is only my second day on Chantix...and the only thing I have noticed so far...I'm nauseous from the heat. Not that that has anything to do with the pill but that's what I have felt off and on all day. Oh and hot flashes. (No I am not pregnant or menopausal.) Not alot has been happening the past couple of days (I guess I should be grateful for that) but I tend to smoke more when I am bored. Just wanted to show my face out here for a bit. It's almost time for finals so the stress from that w… Continue

The Chantix is not a magic pill. It may work for some. I quit for 10 months using it. It made me so very sick. In every way you could think of.
One needs to understand the addiction. I understand it now, and I know if I ever take another puff on a cigarette, I will becomome a full fledged smoker again. It has happend too many times in my life. I wish you luck with your quit. If you have some time please read up on the addiction on www.whyquit.com
And welcome here, it's a great place to be.

THe Chantix is the greatest I smoked for 45 plus years pack and half a day and this has been so easy it doesn't seem real I tried the patches etc in the past ... Go Chantix see your Dr. and get the meds you will be so glad you did.

Tweet I know you said you can't use nicotine replacements but have you talked to your Dr about Chantix? It has nothing to do with nicotine but is more like an anti depressant blocking the spot in your brain that gets the nictine, I just started my 3rd week on it and have been quit for almost 10 days, it feels like I never smoked before and I am having ZERO cravings. Might want to check it out!

Hello Tweetilyn! Welcome to Become an Ex.org! This is the BEST stop-smoking website! I'm 54 and this is my 4th attempt at quitting smoking, and I haven't found it necessary to smoke since July 17, 2004. Quitting is scary, but it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's a lifestyle change, and also a newfound freedom and feeling of contentment I could never imagine before. You may hate the beginning of your quit, but deal with it the best you can. You won't have to go through it alone because you have us now.
