Yep, I am the only one on this site, it is mine, all mine.
I am into the 7th month of no nicotine and it does feel good. The weight is what I am battling now, this is much easier than the smoking, about 12 to 15 pounds that does not want to leave. That I do not want to go through ever again, I stopped 'cold turkey', boy was I nasty! My husband will attest to that 🙂 I think if you stop 'cold turkey' you will respect your quit, never forget what you went through, and will never smoke again no matter how tough things get around you.
If you are afraid of the ' cravings', do not, because they are not as bad as some make it out to be. This is what I did not want if I did stop and it turns out there are not many, maybe 1 or 2 a day and they go very quickly and perhaps as time draws on there will be less. I smoked for 45 years, give or take a few years, I am bound to have a craving here and there, right? Lois, as some point you may go through the 'cold turkey' while on Chantix.
Please visit whyquit.com for further information on quitting, it is very interesting as to what and why this and that happens. When I quit it was very bad and this lasted about a good month, others do not have the same experience and it is good to have an idea of what to expect. Good luck and much success on your quit. God Bless.
Cheers, Susan
