Chantix was a wonderful med for me, pack a day, 30 year off and on smoker (mostly on) I took the med for one week prior to my quit date and then two weeks following the day I quit......

Breathing deep & clean 7 Months, 2 Weeks & 6 Days!!!

There is alot of info in discussions about Chantix!!!

The key to quitting is really wanting your quit!!!

Best wishes to you and welcome to DS this is a wonderful place for support!!!

I came upon DS on day 24 and owe the success of my quit to the support I've recieved and given here!!!

Hi, dorothiec. Welcome to our community and congratulations on your desire to quit smoking.

I suggest you set a quit date in the near future. When that day comes, throw away *all* your smoking materials, scrub the ashtrays and put them away if you don't want to toss them, and don't light up anymore.

And stay on the Chantix. A lot of folks here have had great success with it. The only difference is they completely quit as I described above.

You can do this, dorothiec. Go for it.

Quit May, 2005

so far chantix has worked great for me I took it for a week then I quit I took the two daily doses for two days then decided to try just the one in the morning. That has helped a bit with the nausea. I think the chantix really helps with the physical withdrawals, and this website has all kinds of advice for getting over habit part of it my first two days quit I spent hours reading old posts. Very helpful you're in the right place good luck

You should said a quit date. The way my doc explained it was after week one, I had to quit. It was scary, but it happened and it was SOOOO much easier with Chantix. It's not toal magic, you have to want it and prepare yourself, but you can do it.
I never ever thought I could quit, and so far, I'm headed strong on my path! Good luck to you!

Thank you everyone. Lucky for me, I never smoked in the house, so they isn't a lot to scub.

I am on day #6 and I used to smoke about 30 a day and because the cig taste so bad I only take a couple puffs and put them out. I smoke about 5 a day right now. I am dreading day 8 when I am supposed to give them up completely.

MY QUIT DATE WAS 12/28/06. YOU CAN DO IT. I WAS EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE. I STAYED AT ABOUT 10 FOR ALMOST A MONTH. WHILE STILL TAKING THE CHANTIX. THEN FINALLY I GOT THE COURAGE TO NOT LIGHT UP THAT FIRST ONE!!! THEY BEGAN TO TASTE REALLY BAD. AND BECAUSE THEY ARE A NICOTENE BLOCKER THEY WREN'T EVEN DOING ANYTHING FOR ME ANYMORE!!! GOOD LUCK AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK... BLESSINGS, SANDY

I went Cold Turkey and it worked Great for me. I guess in the first month once in a while I would carve one for a few seconds. But it wasn't bad at all really.
After the first month I have no cravings at all. No desire to smoke.
I have been quit for 10 Months, 5 Days, 20 hours, 51 minutes and 23 seconds (310 days).

I just quit CT, you have to do what is best for you.

Day quit 355
