Another vote for don't give up. I too am taking chantix. I tried to quite after the suggested week and didn't make it although I kept taking the medicine. My smoking habit did become less I went from at least one pack a day to between 6 and 10. I finally quit after almost a month. I just did not give up on trying to quit. I also found this site a couple weeks into trying to quit. Great big huge help.
Still battleing the demon but feeling strong and confident I'm going to win.
Keep up the good work

Still having low grade craves but nothing I can't handle. Haven't been white knuckleing it lately. Kind of had a rougher one last night when my son came to visit. He doesn't smoke but I guess I must associate my smoking with him. Way weird but this to shall pass he is so happy, he's been working on me for at least 15yrs.
Today is my first day at my day job without smoking. Hoping it will turn out well.
Time to get busy. Have a good day everyone.

Day four and doing o.k in general. I'm working a 12 hour night shift in the hospital right now so it helps me stay busy and distracted most of the time. Not having any serious cravings at this point they just kind of come and go in waves don't even stay very long. Kind of wierd.Feeling a little light headed but firm in my resolve.
Much more optomistic about succes this time around. This site is a god send. Thanks everyone

You figured it out, yes I am a respiratory therapist. Graduated last June. Quite a few smoke but not as many as there used to be. Fortunately there is a smaller and smaller group. Unfortunately noledge of the damages it can do does not always help since like most addicts we just don't see how it may relate to us and heck we can hook up our own oxygen. Just kidding.
Doing well today no real cravings so to speak just that huge feeling that something is missing.
Stopped and got plenty of treats to get me through my shift. Going strong feeling pretty positive.
Thanks guys
