[QUOTE="Star*, post: 137001, member: 4964"] OH my little "pet" How marvelous you are going to quit killing yourself one stick at a time! I am thrilled. Easter will be my 7th year as a non smoker. One of the hardest things I have ever done. Eating has been the worst for me. (weight) I went cold turkey - DF who is now 50 and has smoked since he was 12 decided that he could try it. The smoke and lingering smells give me a headache in a snap. So i was thrilled when he got Chantix. It is expensive!! The first 3 days he felt like he had the flu. Then he stopped throwing up. We know it was the Chantix. The next 4 days - he was okay. Not cranky, not cheating, but he said the Chantix took away the desires - it didn't take them all away. So he would find himself having to do other things to take his mind off wanting a cigarette. He stopped for 3 months - life was great and then Dude got arrested and moved in, and moved some furniture and tore apart an 800.00 oak poster bed in our spare room - and well - let's just say after enduring the foul words going out the door he came back with cigarettes. My thoughts? He needed an excuse to start back up and was just waiting for one. I'm disappointed....but if you also google American Lung association and some cigarette companies and Truth - you get some good visuals of damaged, cancerous lungs - and print them out as reminders. If you want to quit - that is 50% of it. You just have to keep telling yourself that nothing smokes as good as life feels (A rip off of the Weight Watchers nothing tastes as good as thin feels) I am behind you - (mostly spraying Febreeze -lol) Also - when I quit I took the money I would spend daily in cash and saved it in a piggy bank and at the end of the month put that money into a cigar box and after a while I bought a beautiful TV for our home.
