I should be celebrating but instead feel sad. I've been taking Chantix since June 16th. It made my cigarettes taste bad and left a awful taste in my mouth. I threw up 4 days straight and I still want a cigarette soooooo BAD! I am for the most part a strong woman but cried tears this morning over the thought of a cigarette. This really sucks..... I'm drinking the water, chewing on the carrotts, pretzels, twizzlers. I feel like a crazy person today.

I know I can do this but, darn it all, it's so hard! I feel like I can't function, today's the worst it's been for me. I'm mad for no reason. Very, very sad. Tomorrow has to be better. Congrats on your quit! I just keep telling myself, if I can make it a week, I CAN DO IT FOREVER.....
Be as active as you can. Keeping busy (physically and mentally) has helped me tremendously.
Remember that part of the mood swings may be the Chantix and not all about the quitting. I am ready to start my 3rd week smoke free and I can so relate to what that first week was like. You CAN do this-- so hang in there, it DOES get easier!

Thanks you

I'm having trouble getting motivated too. My poor husband doing the laundry and dishes becuase no one has anything thing to wear or eat with! He's doing it with minimal griping too! It's hard for me to mix my schedule up. I work till midnight every night and sleep most of the afternoon away. By the time I'm up it's time to get ready for work again. I need to figure out what to do with myself when I'm mad! I used to smoke. I have a bum foot so I really can't go for a walk. Yesterday I just screamed till I felt better. My pre-teen son is constantly on my nerves which is nothing new but before when that happened I smoked. I try to talk to him, to make him understand but kids....... Good luck to you with your quit! Thanks for taking the time to talk to me!
