I wish you the best Haley!!! It will be 2 years in August that I quit those awful things. My husband did it using the Chantix, I tried using them, but they made me very sick to my stomach. So I had some Equate patches left from another time I tried to quit and used two of them and I was done.

You will need to change how you do things and that will help. For instance...I used to put makeup on at my makeup table...I changed to putting it on in the bathroom. Now I'm back at the table, but don't feel the need for a smoke. If you were used to smoking right after a meal...go for a walk. Just change your 'smoking' routine. It really will help. I also keep the white Tic Tacs on hand.

Even after all this time...I still feel that urge once in a great while...but I just go do something else. It leaves my mind as quick as it came. I'll never smoke again. I hope you are able to stick with it....I promise you won't ever regret it.

Thanks Janet, yep my insurance will pay for the Chantix, so i'm going to take advantage of that one while i still have my insurance, i just don't like the side effect, but that is a good one making my stomach sick, i'm not going to eat as much..

i gained alot of weight the last time i quit and i'm not going to do it this time, even if i have to get diet pills i will!!!!

ps, one good thing is we don't smoke in the house cause of Micah, but i'm allowed to smoke at work, everyone smokes here, that is going to be hard coming to work and not smoking, but i will get use to it, i'll just keep thinking that were saving 5,000 a year on cig.s

Janet did your husband have an side effects, like nightmares, sick stomach, loss of sleep???

Shada · 03-30-2009, 03:07 PM

I quit this past January.
Company I work for took a dollar an hour away from us... got the email stating that, and I was on my last pack. Had 5 to go and decided that quick I was done.

Good luck to you and Mike!!! Hard to do but so worth it.

Good news Haley! I will pray for all of you.

I was so proud of myself when I quit. It really helped my self-esteem shoot up, and actually was a life changing event.

My mother died from emphysema. I still have not forgiven her for that.

He told me he was a little oozy in the tummy, but that was it. Me....I was so sick I wanted to vomit...so I quit taking them and used the patch. I just couldn't stand being that sick to my tummy all the time.

I been hearing bad stories about the Chantix, the nightmares they say are so real, i'm really worried about that cause i sleep with Micah, i don't want to hurt him while i'm sleeping, i'm going to talk to more people today from our company that took Chantix if the nightmares are that bad, i will go on the patch, i have to call my insurance company again to see if they cover that... hopefully... i'll let you know..

i'm going to run to wal-marts lunch time , and stock up on sugarless gum, hard candy, fuit, etc. at least the weather is breaking here, i'll be able to power walk with micah at night, i'm getting so nervous, was thinking this morning about how i'm going to change my morning routine, that first smoke with coffee i have to get out of my head. that's going to be the hardest for me....
