Welcome Liz, I am also on Chantix. It has been a bg help, but your attitude is the biggest part. Before I always said I will "TRY" this time i said I WILL QUIT. yOU have seen.. N O P E (not one puff ever). It is True... not even one puff. I m on day 23 now.. totally amazing for me.. and it is a joy to see the meters..... Stay close, come post before you puff. If you can't tell yourself well if I still want one in 5 or 10 minutes.... the crave will be gone by then... and keep a bottle of water with you EVERYWHERE.

Hello, Liz! You've cleared the nicotine out of your system in four days and this is your fifth day without a smoke.. Big, I mean, Huge Congratulations to you and welcome in here to the SSC. I'll repeat it for you tho' I know you've read it a hundred times in the members' posts --- Drink lots of iced water, and talk loudly to yourself in your head when you get a smoke-thought or a craving, avoid the usual triggers you have when you used to smoke (coffee, post prandial, alcohol etc), stick close to the site and cry out for help before you take a drag on a cigarette, and wait for a while for support from the members here. Not even a puff ... Not even one. It will disappoint you and set you back to the slavery of the tobacco companies.. Not One Puff Ever = N.O.P.E.
