Hear, Hear, PRB!!!! Excellent advice. BTW, skip the voodoo---I tried it as well and it doesn't work! :blush:
Ky woman, I'm your neighbor here in (smoke-free) Tennessee! I also quit with Chantix after numerous failed attempts with other aids. Look at me now, baby! :)
Once, after a failed quit, someone here posted that I needed to want to quit MORE than I wanted to smoke. I often think about that phrase. That and NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) have pulled me through. Chantix is WONDERFUL, But there's no magic to that little blue pill. The magic comes from within. You will notice when the dosage increases to 1 mg that you might have a bit of an upset tummy (make sure you eat) and a lot less desire to smoke with little actual craving...mostly just thoughts. Now the trick is...don't light up (out of habit). You CAN do it! I WAS a 3 pack a day smoker for 34 years.
Savoir-faire, PRB---you must be a "repeat offender" like me! Those 5 days look AWESOME!!!!
