Susan, Nope and Cazza,

Thank you for the words of encouragement! I hope you are right! I know the Chantix is out of my system after 2 weeks, so previously the cravings came back almost immediately, of course I was never on it this long ..... and am empowered by the knowledge of what nicotine does to us from this site! 
 

I am SO GRATEFUL for this site and am armed with knowledge now! 
 

Thanx again 

Eve 1/30/2020

Congratulations!  
 

Way to Go Eve - you are in the 1/2 Way House! Nice Job of NOPING every single day! I still remember the battle and struggles of that first year. Be very very proud of your monumental acheivment as you definitely are no sissy and you are showing that nicotine monster that you are in control not him. Keep using your intellect to outwit those gnawing craves that come out of nowhere. Let all those nicotine re extorts shut down and carry on doing other worthwhile things. You will never ever regret putting cigarettes in the past where they belong. Cigarettes are poisonous and your brain, heart, lungs and body will heal with time. Take note of all the great things quitting has given you. I look forward to reading your 1 year milestone post six months from now. Happy NOPING!

"Quitting isn't for Sissies!" I quit poisoning myself Sept. 27, 2013

Congratulations Eve,

Yes I made the mistake of not tapering off Chantix and paid the price, please let us know how you go, I would be very interested

Kind regards

Anthony

I definitely will. That’s why keeping this journal so others may benefit or know what not to do! Lol. Hopefully benefit!

My longest current quit(18 months now) has been using Chantix.  I think if you have the right mindset and determination you will be fine!

So I stayed on the 1/2 pill every other day for 6 weeks, why? Because was told it takes 2 weeks for your body to adjust to the dosage, then felt I better stay on it at that dosage because was having cravings again. 
 

Tomorrow I am starting 1/2 pill every other day in morning, opposite of the night pill. May do this for another 6 weeks. 
 

In the past I have been on Chantix, and just stopped it like your supposed to, and went right back to smoking. I definitely DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN! Nor go back at all. 
 

Will update in 6 weeks!

yes I have been extremely tired again. Is it quit related? Covid? Or other medical issues? I don’t know! 

Take your time weaning off it. You are doing so so well Eve!

Are you eating well and not too much sugar? I found sugar zaps me. Maybe more water too? More trips to WaWa? 
Do you see doc for check up? 
Maybe just change of seasons. I think the body notices the changes in light a lot. Plus you are back at work too. And you get up at a god awful hour! Man you are Noping when we are all sawing logs! 

Thanx for the incite Lor, could be the season’s, not sure.

Well, just keep it a separate thing and stay focused on the quit. Bob and weave, bob and weave!

Did I get that right?? Lol! Been a while for that one!
