Chantix here too.
Like Audrey said, it is only an aid. The first day with no smokes is tough, the second day maybe even a little tougher, and the first week isn't called Hell week for nothin'!
After the nicotine leaves the body, you are left with all of the habitual cravings to deal with, and the psycho-babble stuff which can be easier, challenging, tough, or enlightening depending upon your outlook.
I am coming to the end of my Chantix days, more quickly than I had planned (because I keep forgetting to leave them in my purse) so I am pretty much on one pill per day. I've read that others "wean" themselves from them, so I guess that is what I am doing. Just some sleepiness occasionally, so I am sleeping more than usual.
For those who can take the Chantix, I haven't heard a single negative thing about the med. I had very few (if any) side effects, and would not hesitate to recommend it.
Good luck, you have the tools and the support, so the rest is up to you.
