    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I'm new! Last year I tried cold turkey for smoking cessation (my very first stop smoking effort in 30 years of smoking) and lasted 2 months. I was miserable 24/7, thought of ciggys constantly. Gained 20 lbs., too, along the way. On July 1 of this year my company initiated a policy that smoking was not allowed anywhere on site. I quit smoking at work last summer, and chewed gum all day. I started Chantix on July 23, so I’m on day 5 now. So far, so good. Tselani

      Treatments

      Chantix Working / Worked
      On day 5, and it helps. Still have cravings, but I hope these will subside now that I'm on the RX 2 times per day.
      Cold Turkey Not Working
      I lasted 2 months. That was the most miserable 2 months of my life. Thought of cigarettes 24/7, AND my blood pressure rose!
      Nicotine Gum Not Working
      Very addictive for me.
      Nicotrol Inhaler Not Working
      tried, but didn't work for me.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      Does help with the urge to smoke. Works REAL well for depression!
