I have a couple thoughts running through this empty head of mine..........
FIRST - I've found a new way to dismiss the tuggings (we live in a military community) and everywhere we go I see a service member without a limb or one that has been badly burned.......my God, if they can endure that, I can certainly endure the psychological effects of quitting smoking.
SECOND - I have quit taking Chantix - Yipppeee!!! Not that I was having side effects (since I was down to half a tablet a day) but because I don't have to spend that money on the Chantix or the Cigarettes every month (my insurance didn't pay a penny of the Chantix).
THIRD - I can't even imagine smoking the 2,500+ cigarettes my ticker says I've done without since I quit, it's just so depressing to think that I was so controlled by a thing.
I'm really happy that I've given myself this tremendous gift of Quit.
I hope all of you contine to give Quit to yourself.

MamaFlo,
I cannot believe that you had to pay for the Chantix yourself! Now thats dedication! I would have paid too if my insurence did not cover it. I mean, I was spending about $4.50 a day to smoke cigarettes! I want a ticker too. Where did you get it?
Peace,
Diva
Congratulations - I knew you would make it!
Great news, MamaFlo! I'm thrilled for you being off the Chantix, and I love your attitude. I know there were bumps along your path, but you continue to keep going, and that's what makes it more special that you are sounding so great.
I've got less than three weeks left of my Chantix and am trying to figure out how to taper off. Quite often I forget to take it and don't notice any more tuggings than usual. The nausea is back because I've been so busy that when I do remember to take my Chantix, it's not at a good time meal wise. Any suggestions?
