I’m still taking the Chantix. I’m up to 2mg a day. Sometimes I feel like I want a cigarette so I go have one but after the first or second puff I don’t want it anymore. Really the only time that I feel I really want one is after I eat but, like I said before, if I wait a little while the feeling passes.

Yesterday was the big test, though. I was with my best friend. I’ve always smoked more than her but for some reason I turn into more of a chimney with her. I think it’s all the talking and having a good time. Anyway, I only had half of a cigarette. I’ve noticed that if I try to smoke more than a couple puffs I may smoke half the cigarette. I can’t even handle a whole one anymore. Even about after the 3rd puff I’m thinking “this is disgusting. I don’t want this anymore”.

I had my doubts about Chantix before but it seems I was wrong. It does work. I doubted whether it would work for me but I see it clearly does work. I’ve practically gone from a pack a day to barely able to stand half of one cigarette in a whole day. From what I’ve been told you’re supposed to stay on Chantix for 3 months but the way things are going for me I’m wondering if I should even bother with the next 2 months. Maybe, I should, just so I don’t relapse. I don’t know.
