I have been taking Chantix for about 3 weeks now and have been smoke free for 5 days. Thank you for the inspiring words. Scizospaz, its been 5 days for me and I get cravings to go through the motions of smoking, but it usually only lasts a few minutes. I know that this is the beginning of my new future. Good luck to you! Great post! I have been taking Chantix for about 3 weeks now and have been smoke free for 5 days. Thank you for the inspiring words.

Just said I quit and that was it, some times is was rough but I knew I was going to make it this time because, I wanted to not my wife wanted me to. Best thing I ever did.

Amazingly its very hard to see the benefis whilst we are smoking, I felt its just normal for non smokers as well. But when I quit I felt a different world. I could smell more,taste more, feel more, sense more. No more worries of having a smoke during break time or worrying about how many cigarettes left for the night... I dont need to worry about that, and after seeing the benefits I even quite drinking even the weekend drinks are over. And I feel more controlled of myself and my life. And it has boosted my confidence level. My friends are surprised because I was so addicted to smoking and drinking that due to that reason I lost many friends, because I was destroying myself. But now the same people have their occasion drinks and I have just juice. But the secret of me quitting didnt just come from some patch or counselling. It came in as a miracle when i visited a Catholic retreat centre. After staying there for 3 days everything changed and I feel more peaceful and positive about everything. Some times when our capability to give up these addictions doesnt work then leave it to higher source. And life will change for your betterment. And it wasnt only me who reaped the benefit of the retreat centre but many people of different ages came there to seek deliverance from these addictions. THis is what I wanted to share about. You can see the website address above. Or just pray to God to help you and you will see the change. FREEDOM,LIBERTY is what I felt after quitting smoking, its been 6 months now.

I quit almost one year ago (01/31/10). I can't tell you how many times I quit. I tried using the patch, but every time I went to a lower dose, I went through withdrawls again, which is the hardest part! I tried acupuncture, didn't work. So this time, I mentally prepared, I cut back to 2 cigarettes a day, and picked a quit date. I used nicotine gum which helped with the cravings. I can't tell you it's easy, because it's not. I still want a cigarette every day. But I physically feel better, mentally feel better, have more time on my hands, my clothes, car, and house don't smell like an ashtray... and many many more reasons. Don't give up. If you slip and have a cigarette, don't give up. Just don't have another one! Good Luck! I was a smoker for 35 years, at least a pack a day. I quit almost one year ago (01/31/10).

I wasn't aware how wretched some of the world smells until I quit. I guess sometimes ignorance is (nasal) bliss.
