Hi -
You have all helped me before. I will be using Zyban and my quit date is September 15th.
I have read articles, Allen's book and I have an anxious feeling about triggers.
I am a heavy smoker - I smoke all the time, chain smoke - what do I do? The trigger thing is so
specific and is making me nervous. I have read the 100 things to do instead of smoking and I smoke
when I do most of them now!!! I am not a "bath" person and due to feet and knee issues I don't just go
on a walk when ever I "need" to.
I also have major depression, so... I am worried.
Have any of you been chain smokers and quit? What helped you when the triggers/cravings hit?
Thank you for sharing - it is greatly appreciated!
Wendy
