Hey! I just joined the site!!! I made the decision today that I was done!!!! I have horrible headaches all the time and I am thinking that smoking is causing the problem.....but I have another big problem my husband says its not a "good time " for him to quit!!! We both quit last year together,but never went through with it! So like I told him I'll be the leader and you can follow me if you would like 🙂
12 days to go...I have been cutting back and waiting a little longer for the first one in the morning. Also, I wait for about an hour after I eat. I started my Chantix and no horrible side affects yet. I've noticed after meals if I get right up and start doing the dishes or go play with the kids or something, I don't even think about smoking for awhile...taking the dog out is still the hardest part. I wish we had an outdoor pen or a fully fenced yard so I could just let her out.
Still aiming for the 24th. I've been doing alright. I've only been smoking 2-5 times a day. I had a set back over the weekend. I had old friends visiting and we hit the town for the night. I went through 2 packs in about 8 hours. It was hard for one because I was drinking (and that is my absolute favorite time to smoke!) and two all of my friends visiting smoke. I know that these two things are triggers for me I just have to be very aware and ready for the challenge after the 24th.
Sometimes you have to avoid friends for awhile, sometimes the bar or the gas station where you bought smokes. I am lucky to not live with a smoker and actually my husband has asthma so I have to smoke outside. It is going to be extremely hard, but we can do it!
i quit for 6 mons on chantix, it has been the only thing i found that works for me, but i went back to smoking 3 weeks ago, i have got to quit again, would yall be my quit buddy's ?
