Hi, I'm new here and I went through the tutorial, every single word. I'm 45, have smoked since age 15, smoke(d) 30 cigarettes daily, I'm female, married to a smoker who is also quitting with me and have a child that is 4. We started Chantix on December 17, 2006. I smoked as directed for week 1, felt sick, got sick, then adjusted to the medicine. I was supposed to have a quit date of December 24. From December 24 to January 3, I have had a total of 20 cigarettes. In 11 days, there were a couple of days where I took only a drag and then a day like today where I had 3.5 cigarettes.
I'm dismayed at my inability to stick with the program as planned on December 24, but I'm not kicking myself to death because I have reduced my cigarettes from 330 in this period to 20. That has to count for something (I so need support). My husband had a shaky start but he's all gung ho now. He had the cigarettes and I haven't purchased a pack of my own brand since December 24th. There are 3 cigarettes left (horrible that I know all off this to the exact figures).
I'm going to search your site, look for your tips. There is nothing more in the world that I want right now than to be smoke free. I am sick and tired of the addiction and I'm killing myself and those around me. This site is so impessive. The applicaton alone is just astounding. I hope I make some friends here who can help me when I can't get past that craving FOR GOOD.
Thank you for listening and I'm sorry this is so long, I just had to get it all out.
