4 weeks! *woohoo* Sure never thought I'd see the day! When making the decision to quit - going 4 HOURS, without a smoke, seemed like an eternity - now I've got 4 weeks behind me ALREADY! Plus - daughter and SIL have 3 weeks & hubby just passed 2 weeks! *hot diggity dog*
Today is day 2 smoke free! Three weeks on Chantix. And for the first time in my 25+ years of smoking I woke up today & actually said to my husband "I am a nonsmoker". I feel it and actually believe it for the first time in my life. That is the most amazing feeling in the world. For the first time ever, I am not sabbotaging my quitting so I can go buy a pack & worry about it for another 3 months before I try to quit again.
Yes I have the dizziness & slight queazy feeling. But I think I am going to try taking 1/2 pill 3 times a day & see if that works. I am too excited to give it up. I need this to work & feel like it already has. Does this sound normal? I feel so good about it & I've never felt like anything else has ever helped. Worth the dizzies? I think so!
Congratulations GIAWHIZ!!! Your doing it!!! Your doing it!!!
Everything you described is perfectly normal. You've started a new chapter in life. Feels pretty good, doesn't it.
I have been smober two months, two weeks, 16 hours, 24 minutes and 40 seconds. 3270 cigarettes not smoked, saving $735.92. Life saved: 1 week, 4 days, 8 hours, 30 minutes.
I just got home from NC. I have been too tired to post much during the week but I have been thinking of you all. Congratulations to all the quitters!!!
Thanks Kevin! I workin it. Today was a little more difficult cravingwise. But I did not cave in. Now I'm just fighting my mind. But that's okay. Every second that goes by is another second I don't want to waste giving up & smoking.
Now I just have to make sure there are more healthy snacks around me.

CONGRATULATIONS TO US ALL!!! Gia, just let a little time pass when you have those cravings. I still have twinges of cravings but they only last a few seconds.
Thanks Karen. The words of encouragement I have found here are truly wonderful. It's nice to know I can come on here instead of trying to fight it on my own. It's one way to keep my hands busy!
