Hi Dave, 
 
Welcome to SSC!  Congrats on taking the steps to quit smoking.  You will find this site incredibly helpful along the way.  You can rely on members for advice, tips and support if you find you are ever stuck or feel an overwhelming urge to smoke.  Take the time to look through the information provided on this site. 
Post often to let us know how you are doing and begin the day by telling yourself:  N.O.P.E:
Not One Puff Ever. 
 
 
What did you find most challenging in the past?  What were your worst triggers?

Hello David Congrats on making the decision to pack it in ( no pun intended). I still remember day 3 as it hit me like a ton of bricks. Hope the chantix is helping you. If a day semes too long try not smoking an hour at a time or five minutes at a time. Drink ice water for the craves. I drank so much ice water I used to slosh when I walked. Remember that other people have suceeded at stopping smoking and if you want to you will to. Excellent for you. breather

Hi all, Name's David, Dave, or any derivative thereof...
 
I am a new quitter, well not really new to attempting to quit, as I have done numerous times in the past, but definitely new to actually quitting.
 
I was a pack and a half to two packs a day smoker for the past 20 years. I am now on Day 13 of Chantix, and smoke-free for 3 of them. I never would have believed I could make it this far, and I know for a fact, based on the past three days experiences, that I can definitely quit for good this time!!!
 
I found this site through posts on Topix.com in the "Has anyone ever heard of Pfizer's Chantix" thread. Seems a lot of folks over there used to or maybe even still do visit here regularly.
 
I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone here, and posting my own quit experiences so that maybe others can take some solace and know that they can make it as well...If I can, than anyone can!!
