Christopher,
I quit many times mostly unsuccessfully, but one time I quit for a year and this time it's almost 4 months. But for me this is the final quit! I have used everything under the sun to try to quit and I found I was more successful when I ignored the urges to smoke and just moved on. I tried Zyban and that gave me the shakes so bad I looked like a freak of nature; so, I went back to smoking then. I used the gum in multiple flavors and I couldn't stand the taste; so, I went back to smoking. I've heard a lot of mixed feelings about Chantix, but overall the good outweigh the bad. I have also been most successful when I used the patch. This last time I quit I had pneumonia and it almost killed me, and my doctor said if I don't quit I'm going to get emphysema. So I bought the patch, smoked up the last of the cigarettes, had a few puffs when I first quit, but now I haven't had a cigarette since 01/27/2008! So best of luck on your quit! You can do it! Stay strong and breathe freely!
I have been quit for 3 Months, 4 Weeks, 1 Day, 12 hours, 29 minutes and 12 seconds (119 days). I have saved $582.65 by not smoking 1,792 cigarettes. I have saved 6 Days, 5 hours and 20 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 1/27/2008 11:30 PM
