Quit Smoking

I’m on day 7 of my Chantix. It’s definately helping – I want one less often and when I do smoke, I don’t smoke all of the cig.! Tomorrow I’m going to try to go all day without one.

I gave in…I made it 1 week and now I’m smoking again. I just have to try again…

I smoked for 8 yrs. (close to 1 1/2 packs a day) and I quit cold turkey. I decided that I was done with it…for me smoking was almost a part of my personality…an accessory. I didn’t have too many cravings, mainly on the first day, but I did feel like I was breaking up with a boyfriend…it was weird and emotional, but I did it.

The hardest thing is telling yourself “No” when you want “just one more”.

I have now made it 4 days without smoking. After 3 days all of the nicotine is out of your system. I found that drinking water whenever I craved really helped. If they got too bad, then I would take a walk.
