Terry,
I'm going to be a little more direct with you. When you first came here you sounded like you really wanted to quit and had picked a date. I understand that a pretty stressful event has happened since then. But, unless I am reading things wrong, that event was expected, and you had picked your date anyway. Now, it seems that you have backed off on your desire and determination to quit. That, of course, is well within your right to do. And maybe that is even the best thing to do right now. Only you can answer that question. However, this site is about helping each other quit.
Even though you have begun taking a stop smoking aid, chantix, you don't sound like you want to quit. Yes, chantix can cause some nausea, but you can reduce that by eating with it and drinking water. Many of us put up with that minor side effect because we had made up our minds to quit. This was a big, big goal for us. It can help you, too, if you really want to quit. If you don't really want to quit, chantix, and every other aid in the world, will not help you. You will get as much support and chat as you could ever want when and if you decide to take this quitting business seriously. But until you do, accept that quitting does include some uncomfortableness, and get on with it, I think that you will find that those of us who are busy actively working on and protecting our quits will gradually fade away from this thread.
I sincerely wish you the best and hope that you soon realize that you can walk away from this awful addiction, especially now that you have chantix to help. I hope that you don't waste that expensive medication. When you decide that "enough is enough" I will support you fully.
