Smoking Addiction & Recovery Support Group
The CDC claims that nicotine is a "very addictive drug" that can be "as addictive as heroin or cocaine." Nicotine is typically eliminated from the body within 2 to 3 days, however, physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms may last for much longer depending on the individual.

For the last 3 months I've been trying (successfully) to quit smoking and break my addiction to nicotine. I have failed many times in the past and have tried Zyban (made me crazy), Chantix (failed twice) and the patch (great for long airline flights, helped me cut down but couldn't quit). This time I used an e-cig and Chantix together and it seems to have worked. I stopped the ecig a month ago and have one Chantix pill left. I tried to refill my Chantix script but the pharmacy is out of it so I might just be done with all of it. Assuming I don't end up getting a refill (see how tomorrow goes) I think I'm ready to move on from saying "I'm trying to quit" to "non smoker". My last cigarette was 8/20/14

I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I took chantix about the same amount of time and did not feel the need for it anymore.
Find a hobby or something to keep yourself busy.....especially during an urge
Can you use the patch again until the pharmacy can refill your script?
I know stress can push most good folks over the edge during the holiday season.
Smoking is a choice.....there are healthier things to do. Get that idea into place so you can keep your quit....ok?
