Day 29 Still not smoking

Hi Everyone! How are the quits coming?
With only one drag in over 4 weeks, I'd say "So far, So Good". I never thought this would happen, never did I think I could go 4 weeks without smoking without hurting another human being ;). The anxiety I felt the one time I tried to quit was enough to never try again but that was before Chantix. I sure am happy that I wasn't one of the people that experienced the worst side effects that could happen with this drug.

When I look at my quit meter, I'm shocked at how many cigarettes I would have smoked (those numbers are on 20 cigarettes a day), it's no wonder I was coughing all the time and smelled like a dirty ashtray. ICK!!!!
Those days are behind me now and there are better days on the horizon.

To all of my quit buddies - thank you so much for being there, for your encouragement and companionship - Thank You!!!!

I am an addict, I understand I will always be one cigarette away from my pack a day habit.
I vow not to smoke today.

Way to go MamaFlo! I was standing in line at the deli yesterday and the guy behind me REEKED of smoke. I remember thinking - "that's what I used to smell like!". You don't notice it when you're smoking, but people sure notice now - my friends all tell me I smell better! Keep quit! :-)

I agree that the Chantix really, really made all the difference. And I LOVE not being stinky.
