Good Luck Kathleen, you're have a positive attitude!
When you feel the urge to smoke, go stand next to a smoker ;) You will not want to light up!

Hi SusieJD,
Congrats on your quit! I'm curious about what your side effects were because I'm on Chantix. Please share

I am officially a non smoker as of this morning and I feel great (so far) I am on Chantix and my withdrawals are pretty mild. I expected to be a raging lunatic but so far that hasn't happened. I feel prepared - lots of sugar free candy and pretzels to munch plus, I cut my coffee intake in half.
I am positive that I can do this and thank you all for your words of encouragement! I have been logging on everyday and reading the many posts about your struggles and success and I'm certain you have all contributed to my decision to kick the nicodemon out of my life for good!

I have been smoke free for almost 9 days and I feel wonderful! I have more energy at the gym and my endurance is increasing. I don't seem to get the afternoon slump anymore either, it's really amazing because I didn't think I would like being an ex-smoker :) I guess I was too scared to try but I'm glad I took the plunge.

Delayette,
in a couple of days you will be laughing at your nic fits. I had such a bad day about 4 days ago I had to leave work because I was terrible to everyone and I was SO embarrassed. Luckily my co-workers understand what I'm going through, they're all ex-smokers.
This will pass, just give yourself some time and be patient

Just remember that you aren't alone, we're all in this together
