take a deep breath and...

Welcome woube! I just started Chantix, (day 2) after reading good things about it here. I tried the patch and wellbutrin unsuccessfully, so I am determined to quit this time. Keep thinking about all the time and money and effort it has taken to smoke for all these years (42 years for me, sad to say). Good luck, keep posting and reading. I'll be looking for you! MomMom PS I also have 2 cats!

Just checking in with the 'gang'. Today I downloaded my copy of the wookbook. Been reading old posts and skimming thru the book. I have not set a quit date...but I am determined to quit. I am 51, been smoking since I was 21. Two children in their twenties. I am divorced and am owned by two cats. I work at home. I'm tired of the smell, the annoyance, the cough...the planning my life around where I can smoke. Tonite I am going to read the workbook front to back. And make my plan. I have a friend who is on the Chantrix (sp) she said it worked great but gave her stomach problems bad enough her Doctor took her off it. Only question I have right now is how do I instant message? I click the launch and since I have no 'buddies', it doesn't really do anything. Do I need to IM someone first? I'm sure after I read the book, I will have lots and lots of questions.

You also might need to disable your internet security so pop-ups will be allowed on your computer. You can prob do this temporarily, at least on my comp it works that way. Not that I'm an expert. I've figured out how to get in and send a message but I haven't received any or actively chatted with anyone yet.

Welcome and congratulations on your determination to quit! You can do this. Read everything you can, go through the program here and ask as many questions as you need. Also, talk to your doctor. There are many options out there to help you, both over the counter and prescription depending on what you feel will be best for you. Good luck with your quit!

woube - All the intructions posted here to use IM will work unless you use a Macintosh. Then you're out of the loop because it won't work. -- 2tone [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/26/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 44 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,255 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $242 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 55 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Woube and Freemom: I can't figure it out either. It's a huge computer mystery to me. If I need to disable the security, I have no idea how to go about doing that. So, I guess I'll just have to have my "discussions" this old-fashioned way on the boards, I guess. Keep posting, Woube, and let us know when your quit date will be. Keep reading here and you'll figure out that this is indeed something you can do for yourself.
