Jason,
Have you worked through the online program to the left of the screen? If not, it will be a tremendous help to you. It has you document your reasons for quitting, coping strategies, and so on.
I feel your pain Jason. During my first week quit, if I had encountered cigarettes, I'm certain I would have smoked. I threw away all of our ash trays and got rid of all smoking materials. I made it through the first two weeks because I created a smoke free zone around myself. I knew I wasn't strong enough to have it around me. For some people, that's not possible. My husband quit with me and he was exposed to people smoking at work (outside, of course).
My husband and I are also taking Chantix Jason. Hubby has had 4-5 slips. The first time he slipped, he came inside the house and said that it su**ed. Did you feel the same way after you smoked? The Chantix kept him from feeling the usual pleasure felt from smoking. I encouraged him to throw the cigs away, but he didn't. Four to five times since then, he smoked one after I went to bed. The other day, he told me that he decided to throw the pack away and that smoking didn't give him pleasure. That is the beauty of Chantix Jason. It won't give you the willpower required, but it won't allow you to have the normal gratification.
If you do want to quit Jason, I would encourage you to destroy those smokes and keep taking the Chantix. If possible, try to keep a smoke free zone around yourself. This will help you. If these strategies won't work for you, I'm sure others will chime in with more ideas.
