Ten Weeks Three Days

It's still a day by day thing. Cravings occur on a daily basis. At this point they may be purely psychological, I may be done with the physical addiction. I'm not sure. It's work, hard work still, but I'm piling up the days. I wish I could be free of the addictive thoughts. I know the day is coming soon when I will be free of them on a daily basis, but I'm guessing that for the rest of my life there will be moments, hopefully rare, but still there, that the demon raises it's ugly head. I can be free of nicotine but I will probably never be free of the addiction. It's a depressing thought - but it is what it is. The important thing is that I have quit. Mary

Congrats on your quit!!!!
How was it getting off the zyban? I am approaching one month of my quit on zyban. My dr. wants me on for another month, just wondering your suggestions or advice.

I would follow the doctors advice - your quit so far has been hard won so why take chances. I had to stop early because I was having extreme difficulty with insomnia and thought the Zyban was part of the problem. It went fine, but the urges definitely increased. So stopping set me back there, but I was able to manage it without giving in to the addiction.

When its time to stop the Zyban, redouble your guard against the temptations to smoke and you will be fine.
