Glad you are joining us, PRB. I am also in that 1% of highly addicted after smoking 1+ packs (usually closer to 2) per day for 40+ years. The Chantix is the best thing I have ever tried, and I have tried them all. I'll let you know what happens after the 3 mo. Rx runs out.

Thanks for your support. I started taking the Chantix last week and took the first full strength dose last night. I am glad to hear that Chantix has been helpful to you all and so far the first 24 hours have been okay. I know however, that there aren't any magic bullets just a long journey as Casey said. Thanks Again. Taking things 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day at a time.

Hello. I am new to the site, I stopped smoking this morning. I have made several attempts over the last few years to quit. A couple were serious efforts and I made it 3 to 4 months each time but the others were short lived. I have smoked for over 40 years. So it might be said I am running out of time to quit :) I am very addicted to nicotine and according to the SSC dependancy test I am in the top 1% ! That surprised me. I smoke a pack to a pack and half a day which seems to be pretty average but I guess it is not just how much but when and why you smoke. At my Dr's recommendation I am taking a new medication, Chantix, to assist with my quit. Considering my heavy addiction this shoud be a good test to see if it helps. I will keep everyone informed as to how it is working. All that said I do know that it all boils down to getting through the next 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, at a time. I appreciate all of your support and assistance in advance and look forward to helping anyone else that I can help beat this awful addiction.

Welcome PRB, Sounds like you know exactly what you are up against. Prepare yourself by reading lots of posts here, ask questions when something doesn't sound or feel right and work the program here on the SSC. I quit using Chantix and have had a very positive experience. I am now finished with the medication and am enjoying every smoke-free day of my life! Chantix does help but you've still got to do the dirty work! :) Just like you said, 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day at a time we will beat this addiction. Glad to have you on the journey!

PRB - Glad you've decided to join us! I'm also using Chantix and it's been very very helpful for me. Did you start the Chantix last week? I knew how bad my addiction was and I honestly never thought I'd be able to quit. So, you can do it too!
