This is day one on quitting. I quit 30 years ago anf then when I got re-married 9 years ago my husband smoked. I still can't believe after all this time that the second hand smoke got me smoking again. I hate it and everything about it. I tried to quit twice with the help of Chantix in 2008, but I quit taking it when I felt the cravings were gone. I see now that was my downfall. I have to quit for many reasons, and my husband is still smoking this is going to be a really difficult challenge ahead, but is is something I have to do.

Hope you are doing well, and hope you don't have too many side effects so far!
I, too, started chantix on the 1st, and am going to quit after 30-some years! My husband is not ready to quit smoking either, and my "cold turkey" tries just didn't work, so I got the Chantix. It is really helping already, even just starting day 3. I don't know whether its just placebo effect or not, but by the second day I was noticing a difference. Weird.
Maybe we can support each other, since we seem to have some of the same difficulties....
Stay strong!
