QuittingGirl

NOPE!!

Well, @shy you and I lead very similar lives, with regard to quitting, and quitting with Chantix, in addition to having a mother who smokes, we both live with our Moms, well sort of! My mom and I own a two family house. She lives downstairs and my family and I live upstairs. But, you get the picture, and to make a long story short, I can smell her smoke in the common hallway because smoke rises. So, it hasn't been easy, but I have gotten through it, and YOU WILL TOO!!!! 👍 As I said a couple times earlier, VISIT THIS SITE EVERY SINGLE DAY, (SEVERAL DAYS, AT LEAST!) DO IT, YOU CERTAINLY CAN!!!👍

Very sorry to hear that you went back, but it's very good that you came back on here! This is my 2nd, and last time quitting! I certainly don't want to go through those horrible withdrawal symptoms again! NO WAY!!! Just the thought of that really upsets me because it was just terrible!😬 The first time I quit, I didn't have this forum, but I believe if I did, I would not have gone back to smoking. The members of QuitTrain are amazing!😃 They have helped me so much since the day I came on here, and we will help you too! You just have to stick around! I really mean it, support will really help you to quit. We are addicts, just like drug addicts, gambling addicts, and any type of addict needs support. I remember when I used to go to Weight Watchers, they said that you really have to attend the meetings for it to work, and it's true. Addicts need support because quitting any addiction is really really difficult, but it can be done, and when you have support, it makes it so much easier because you aren't alone. We were all newbies at one time, some were able to quit only once and others like you, myself and many others are on their hopefully FINAL time! Hey I can't go back to smoking because my dear friend and co-moderator @Doreensfree would woop my A$$....LOL!!!🤣❤️ YOU CAN DO THIS SHY!!!💪👍 I want to add another tip, if you haven't done it yet. Get rid of any smoking paraphenalia that is in your living quarters. No packs of cigarettes, ashtrays, matches lighters, anything related to smoking!

Hi @JoJo Welcome!😃 I was on Chantix the first time I quit and at that time it was a wonder drug for me. I did get the vivid dreams but they didn't bother me. The side effect that really got to me was the nausea which I had in the very beginning of taking it. Do you get the nausea? Unfortunately I went back to smoking after 6 years but I didn't know about this site back then. I truly believe if I was on here, I wouldn't have started smoking again. This 2nd and last time, I started with the weaning method and then when that didn't work, I just went cold turkey. Chantix will help you a lot but you still have to come on here every day and do the daily NOPE pledge. I really believe that is what has gotten me though this for the past 3 years, it keeps me focused. We are all here to support you which will really help! You can do this!💪👍 Stay strong!!

You are doing really great @GonSo, keep doing what you are doing. Your kittens are so adorable!!😻

Have a wonderful time Stew!! 😁 Looking forward to seeing your pictures of that beautiful scenery of the Pacific Coast. How far down do you go? Do you go into Oregon? Enjoy the time with your family! I know you will do well with not smoking because you will be busy with your family! 😃

It can and does happen unfortunately @Pilgrim . I got them too in the beginning months and even now I sometimes get them, but it's not a physical urge more of a mental urge but it passes in a few seconds. We are always an addict and the temptation is there, but as @Cbdave said, acknowledge them and wait and then the cravings are gone. The longer you stay quit, the less they will become. I am so happy you didn't give in to them!😁 You are doing really well so keep up the good work!!!💪

The longer you stay quit @SD2026, the easier it becomes and not smoking will be your new normal.👍
