Yesterday was day one and went really well. I think the thing I missed the most was the ritual of smoking, and not the actual smoke and nicotine itself. I had to laugh at myself a few times last week when I actually forgot my breaks at work. Chantix does help a great deal. In the past I have tried the patch, the inhaler, and Wellbutrin.
I have been reading all the success stories here, and plan to be one of them, as my mother was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in November last year.

Today is my quit day - I am also using chantix. I feel very prepared and very confident. I know it will be tough, but I know I can do it. I think at this point, like you said, it's not the craving, it's the habit.
You have found a great, supportive board here......
How are you feeling? Are you experiencing any of the side effects?

I'm very proud of you!! I tried to quit in 2001 and on day 2, my Mother died in a freak car accident!! Needless to say, the quit was out the window and it took me another almost 5 years to get back to it. Hang in there and you and your Mom will be proud. I am sorry my Mom wasn't around to see me quit....she would have been very proud of me (as if that made that much difference in that department!!)
