Hey Minx
Congratulations on your decision! What a great birthday present to yourself!
I'm a chantix user, had smoked for 36 years, and was smoking 2 or more packs a day too. I had tried many other methods of quitting, and this time it is working..chantix + ssc...a winning combination. The unfortunate thing for you, and many of us, is that this site is going to be down Wednesday for 8-10 hours.
I didn't find this site until day 2 or 3 of my quit, but it sure did help me get through those early days (still does). I was glued to it. It's great that you're using the Quit Tools to the left. I never saw the workbook until a few weeks ago....I think my brain was too addled at first to notice it....lol I planned my quit so I didn't have to do much the first 3-4 days, and was hoping to sleep through much of it, but that didn't happen. But what did happen was I breathed deeply..a lot...drank tons of water and juice, had lowfat snacks around to put in my mouth when I just had to have SOMETHING, read and posted here, and now I've got over 50 days smoke-free, am much more active than I have been during the past few years, am much more pleasant to be around nose-wise, and have faith that I will never smoke again.
There are so many people and stories here that can inspire and encourage and inform you. We'll see you Wednesday night or Thursday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
