Hi, day 3 on Chantix for me. My name is Renee, live in Alabama. I am married have 6 kids ( daughter 22, adopted son 19, triplet son and two daughters that are 19 and an 18 year old daughter) I also have adog named Teddy.

My sister told me about Chantix a couple weeks ago, and I have tried just about everything else there is, nothing has ever worked for me, I quit a couple times by various means, but ended up back smoking within a week or two. I have no willpower!

I had a heart attack and bypass surgery at age 27! My sister, younger then me had a stent put in at the end of last month at age 40! Have a real strong family history of heart disease.

I want so much to get rid of this monkey on my back!!! I am escited and terrified all at the same time

So glad to have found this board and hope I can give half as much support as you all have already given me

Sounds like you really need to kick the habit. Chantix and this board will help. Be sure to get lots of support from that great big family of yours and come here often. Everyone here understands and will help if you need it.
GOOD LUCK

Hi!

I'm jan~ I'm from ohio where i live with my husband and my shelter dog Molly. I have two grown daughters who live out on their own.

I have been smoking for 30 yrs and it's past time to quit. I honestly never tried before. I'm excited , nervous and anxious all at the same time.

I will be on my 5th dose of Chantix this morning. For the first time i took 2 pills yesterday on my 4th day.

No really bad side effects at all. Just tired. I feel very tired. Not sure when i'm going to do my quit date but it will be next week i'm hoping. I'm still smoking but not near as much as before.

I just want to be rid of this demon forever and be in charge of my own life!

Welcome Renee & Jan!! Good for you both to have decided to become non-smokers. I am 44 yrs old and have smoked for about 20 yrs - and it was so easy quitting with Chantix.....I hope you have an easy time too.
