I've been on Chantix for a week now and have smoked 1 pack of cigs in the last 7 days! BTW, you're supposed to smoke the 1st week while the medication builds up in your system. Tomorrow is my quit date!
I remember my Dad telling me that when he quit, food tasted better, breathing got better, smells were more intense, and his coloring greatly improved! Just wondering when I can expect to experience these things.
Also, I've noticed that a huge trigger for me is seeing actors smoke in films!! I know they aren't smoking real cigs but a buzzer goes off in my brain when I see them smoke! Any suggestions to silence the buzzer?
My blood pressure dropped in the first week - pretty cool since I was on the verge of having to take medication.
My skin improved, it's so smooth now (don't remember exactly when it happened, I think I was a few months in).
Smoking in movies used to drive me mad, especially the old classic flicks. I think that buzzer fades with time.
Some stuff you just have to tough it out - the only way over it is through it.
Focus on the positives when they happen...and don't forget to come here and tell us about them!!!
Commit to the quit - you can do this!!!!
