I'm glad you're back. The Chantix is some great stuff...unfortunately, it made me ill, so I had to go back to patches. My Daughter in law is using it tho, and doing just wonderfully. She says it's also dampened her appetite, which is a good side effect.
Be strong...I'll be here giving you a pull.

Thanks Dot and thanks for replying.
Werent you on here back in 2000 also?
Are you quiting now? You had mentioned the patches is why I asked.
yes the Chantix worried me because I heard of alot of side effects, but then I heard way more people saying how wonderful.
I am on day two of the pill so we shall see.
thanks Dot!!

Yes Karyn, I must have been here about that time. I had quit for 2 1/2 yearss, smoked for one, quit again for a year, smoked a few more.....it goes on and on and on. This time I've been quit for 5 months, and so far, so good. I keep thinking perhaps if I had stayed on the board, I might have hung on. I've heard that you need one year of support for every 10 that you smoked.
DIL says Chantix has a good support group. If you go there, say Hi to her...I think she's there as Alan's baby.
What are you doing to occupy yourself? Do you work out of the home? I was glad I didn't have to face the public for a couple of months....just hibernated like a bear, and probably grouched like one too.

Dot and Slim, thanks for the welcome back.
Dot I know that this board really helped me the last time.
I havent set the date yet, I am on day 5 of the Chantix, so I imagine I just have to bite the bullet and set the date.
I plan on walking and walking more, drinking alot of water too.
I am dreading the first 3 or 4 days, but know I can do it.
Thanks again!!!!
Karyn
