I also used Chantix successfully - I guess.  I had taken it for only three weeks when I went in for surgery and, since I was in the hospital for four days without it, didn't know how much to take when I got home  - so I didn't take any more.  

It doesn't do it FOR you - nothing does.  It is still work, and you still need to educate yourself and do your plan, and commit to this 100%.  Do all that, though, and it might be the backbone to start that you need (it was for me!).

I feel great on Champix! I am on day 14 but day 5 or 6 smoke free.  I just got made redundant yesterday and the last thing that I wanted to do was smoke.  I feel liberated! I may be loosing my job with all the people that I have grown close to but I dont have time to grieve as I am gaining my health which is fantastic.  I woke up yesterday and I could feel air in my lungs and my wheezing was gone.  Fantastic, champix is giving me my life back an I look forward to healing process and celebrating each day.
