Hi! I am new here :)

Hi AlphabetJ Good to see you here with us. Quitting is well worth it. I just passed my craving a little while ago and I'm sailing smoothly again. It comes in waves and you have to prepare yourself for them. I was on Chantix but it made me sleep 24 hours a day. Couldn't handle it...so I'm on the patch now and I'm doing ok with it. Still have those cravings but they're not as severe as before. It's getting easier. It will get easier for you too. Good luck on the Chantix.

Cigarettes Not Smoked

AJ- How could we be so dumb to let ourselves start smoking again? I don't know about you, but I was doing great...."I'll just smoke this one while I'm out drinking with the boys". Well. I'm back and going to quit forever. We'll do this deal together!

Cigarettes Not Smoked

Welcome, You have a positive attitude. I've been here long enough to know that more than the method used.....is the attitude one has. Keep telling yourself... "I don't "got" to quit....I "get" to quit.

AJ, Welcome back...nice to meet you. Sounds like you have the right attitude and are preparing. A very good combination. I'm a chantix quitter,too, and it sure helped. That and this site were my main strategies. Let us know how we can help, okay?

Hey AJ, I have been where you are, also quit with chantix, and I know what you mean about those cigs. Pretty soon you will just say screw it and not even bother, and you won't miss it either. be ready though with something else to do to pass the time and to help you cope when a crave hits, get some cold water, mints, fruit, jelly bellies, and I recommend exercise too. Also keep your quit reasons close, tell your co-workers to help keep you honest, and also note the positives of your quit, how you can smell now, taste etc...it is all good and so worth it. if you get in trouble post here, HELP and wait for replies before you act. Read read read here, it helps, you are not alone, this is the best support site on the net, the people here ROCK and are the best. Check out the workbook to your left, it truly helps also. Rewards are essential!! Reward yourself daily, I still do!! See you at the bonfire tomorrow!!! I am glad you are here :D nobody smokes anymore!!

THIS quit I am going to use SSC and ALL of it's tools INCLUDING being an active, participating member of this support group. My last quit in September I would hang out here and read but I never posted and got to know anyone :( I am taking Chantix and today is day 5. I am already smoking much less than before, and I have not experienced any actual "craving" since I began the pills - what I have noticed is that I just make a decision to have each cigarette that I have smoked, for NO PARTICULAR REASON at all. It feels stupid to say, but that's the best way I can explain it. I hope it makes sense. If I have no reason to smoke, then WHY do I still do it??!! It's because I'm an addict, and I am listening to the disease or demon (I have read some of you referring to the demon) Anyway, very glad to be here! Thanks for reading :) Alphabet J [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/7/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] -1 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] -15 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $-3.38 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] -2454
