Started today

[Red Devil]

Been contemplating quitting smoking for sometime now. Started my regimine of Chantix today and going to try to do my damnest to kick this nasty habit!!

[Tightline11]

The first two weeks were the hardest. I started smoking when I was 14 and just quite one day cold turkey when i 37 and haven't smoked since. I was a two pack a day smoker. You have to want to quite. that has been five years ago and it feels awesome.

I agree it's all in your head you have to want it....I smoked a pack to a pack and a half for 10 years. Quit almost 2 years ago cold turkey feel great and save alot of money

[DUCKGOGETTER]

I really want to stop, cause i pretty much smoke only when i'm at work or drinking.

Thanks guys!!!!

Good Luck!
It took a pulmonary embolism and a week in the hospital for me to quit permanently, but I did quit once before that for two years. My best advice is to figure out a new way to deal with stress and break all your old habits like smoking after a meal, smoke breaks with friends, etc.
Think about all the money you will save and no more stinky clothes! Oh and also no longer feeling like a heroin addict and worrying if you have enough cigs with you.

Good luck ole boy! Let me know if it works for you.

Good luck Jay. You can do it. I have faith in you

Congrats Jay, I tried Chantix a few years ago and it worked for me. Unfortunately I started again about a year later, I just quit again and went cold this time. Been holding strong for 3 weeks now hopefully I can keep it up.

I read on the internet that a nicotine craving only truly lasts 3 minutes at a time, so everytime I have one I try to focus on somethign else for the 3 minutes, suprisingly it has worked everytime. It has been getting easier everyday...Good luck you can do it.

U got this!! I haven't somed since last lent . This time I tried the gum but still wanted to smoke so I said to hell with all that stuff n quit cold turkey, I was a total jerk for about a month . Now when some one who smokes walks in a room it makes me wanna because of the smell. You can't do it dude! Also I kept telling myself I work to hard to earn a good living and ill be dammed if I'm not gonna live to be a old grumpy man so I can enjoy it!! Lol

Good luck bro... I have not smoked a cigarette since new years eve (smoked a pack a day for last 15 yrs). First 2 weeks were the hardest, but getting easier. Like everyone else said, its a mind thing...

You got that! I have faith. I'll say a lil prayer for you to stay true. Nothing good comes out of smoking.

Hang in there dude. I used Chantix one time to quit dipping. That lasted a few years with success until I was making a big hunting trip with a bunch of friends who all dipped....I decided I would get some for our big weekend of hunting......wrong!!

A few years after that I just decided that I wasn't going to let a little can of tobacco run my life. Threw it out the window driving down the road (yes, I'm guilty of littering), and have never looked back. That's been 8 years or so.....

You can do it dude.

Hey guys, I'm on the wagon Tryin to knock the can.. I haven't had a dip since dec 21 so I'm at a month and a few days. I see a lot of y'all have quit dippin so I was thinking y'all might have experienced this, but I have been sick pretty much since I have quit, coughing, sinus infection and stuff. Wondering if its flu season junk or if anyone else had this kind of stuff. I'm usually a pretty healthy guy might get a cold or sinus infection once a year, but never like this.

[specktator]

I'm going to try and give them up for Lent. If I don't have a reason to, I'm not gonna quit. Good luck.

I'm no MD but I think you just caught a cold/crud/flu.

I never had any symptoms like this when I quit.
