I am a believer that Chantix takes away the mental cravings...I quit on October 10th-- a week ago-- and even though it is easier to say "no" to smoking, I still really want to smoke. I know that it is mind over matter... but when do you actually reach the point that it is no longer appealing? I am afraid that if I have to deal with this carrot dangling in front of my face forever it will make things miserable....but for how long? Any advice?

You have to give it time, I know this is not the response your are looking for....
You quit Oct 10th, so , do you see a difference in your craving from the first day? A little I am sure, that is how it goes.
We are addicts, we in some way or other, depending on different persons,want to smoke again, maybe not "want" but
will feel like we do. So, you have to be strong, think positive thoughts, (This is not just bla bla...) remember why you quit, reinforce this on you.
You are not old, hard to see on the picture, but you say you want kids.....so it might even be easier on you, less time smoking and all....
Congrats on you first week, isn't that something? Wow, how proud you, must you feel, and when you do think of smoking, turn it around, tell yourself, that NO you won't and don't want to smoke because_______________ fill in your reasons, and smile smile!
Chantix is NOT a miracle drug, it will ease a bit period, the rest is call willpower, and you have it, since you have been through the roughest week of you life, no? We can all do this, no excuses,no more!
