We sticks never get upset if we lose the counting game.

So true!!! I was thinking the same thing the other day when I patted my cat then she immediately licked the spot when my hand would have been - lol.

Nope to everything today!

Sticks used to win all the time but unfortunately it got to a point where they couldn't make a bigger trophy anymore so most of the sticks left 🤷‍♂️ Pic of the last sticks trophy!

"I really don't want to smoke again" That's great @Orion! Now that you've made that commitment to yourself, keep it uppermost in your mind, particularly when cravings come calling. Also, keeping a positive attitude throughout your quit helps a lot as well. Look for positive things you're gaining as you quit develops. There'll be great things ahead as your quit matures. Things you don't even realize early on. You could start with ... how much $$ have you saved so far? Also very important as well in the early days of your quit, make sure there are no cigs handy. Destroy all of them and get rid of lighters, ashtrays etc. You can't smoke what you don't have; right? We're all here to cheer you on and help you when & where we can. Let's get this done!!

Welcome to Quit Train @Orion! Can't say I have any experience myself with the drug you're taking (formerly Champix). I've only hear many mixed reviews about Champix from those who've tried it. Some have said it was fabulous and made quitting fairly easy for them and others have had issues with it than caused them to abandon taking it and try other quit aids. Seems it really depends on the person. The one thing I can tell you is that quitting is hard, no matter how you approach it and in the end, whatever mathod you choose to quit by it will always boil down to desire & commitment. I found that those are the two things that I had to rely on during heavy cravings in the early part of my own quit. Basically just had to grit my teeth and ride out the storm. It doesn't last forever and ya know what? It didn't kill me either! Right or wrong, I firmly believe that ultimately those two mental qualities (desire & commitment) are what will get you through. And, no matter how you do it, yes things will get better and yes, you'll get back to normal and even better that you're old normal Life is too precious to snuff it out by smoking.

Nope!
