I have tried many ways.. cold turkey never worked well for me.. The patch helped me quit one time for 6 months., wellbutrin gave me terrible nightmares... chantix left me feeling very drugged - i had a very hard time concentrating which is never good, so i stopped that after 3 weeks. This time i am using the excercises from the becomeanex site, i have been tracking my triggers, and now am trying the seperation exercises.. i find these really helpful because i am making myself aware each time i smoke instead of just grabbing the smoke without even thinking. I am going to use the 2nd step patch along with a gum for the bad pangs.. Have you decided on using a med to help you or are you going cold turkey? We can do it!!!
