I have only told a select few that I'm quitting (my husband, my mom and my boss) so that they can keep their on me as well as be someone for me to talk to or for some encouragement when I need it.
I've been smoking for almost 8 years, 1 pack a day. I hate feeling the way I do every morning, especially after a night of drinking. I hate being the "inconvenience" to my husband (he doesn't smoke), I hate walking out of work to smoke, I hate freaking out in my head if I know it's going to be awhile until I smoke and I hate the fact that I'm so involved with soccer, yet smoke before and after a game, etc. So I decided to take a step towards a healthier, less smelly life using Chantix.
Suggestions, anyone?

Pick a quit date and stick to it... make it the 8th day of treatment. Remove all butts from view, soak and destroy all remaining cigs before going to bed...
Pretzel sticks are your friend!!! Well, they were mine at least. a handful of pretzel sticks is like 100 calories, and it really takes your mind off the smoking.
If you make it to day 3, you think more about the pretzel sticks instead of the cigs (at least i did)...
Good luck!
