Hmm, GAL last posted in this thread about taking one puff on Nov 20 but earlier she did say this:
quote:Colossus kind of likes it, he says I should take double the dose while we're on vacation in Cancun. Because crazy wives demand sex all the time and tell people their husband requires four minutes to unfold his ding ding before he can get started and stuff like that. Heh.
So, maybe they went to Cancun? She has logged in today (or her computer is..)

LOL, that is just as funny today as it was on Nov 20. Granny, I was wondering how you were doing. We all struggle to do our best and we have grumpy, pissy moments. Just know, at least "WE" understand. Good luck! Well, we probably won't hear from Pamy tonight, if she purchased the new nighty. Enjoy! Thanks to all that cheer us on. Five days!!!...and I still want one, as if it were my first day without one. I'm hoping the urge will fade more as the the days pass. Celebrated our anniversary, 36 years completed. Whoa, that makes me feel old!

Yay Meme!!! Yep, when you are going cold turkey like you are, every day is a major victory. Keep it up, one day at a time. One of these days it will suddenly hit you that you haven't thought about having a smoke in a really long time (like fourteen seconds - just kidding).

I went to the Doctor today for an infection on my foot. Got antibiotics prescribed (10 day thing) and I'm praying this infection is not that nasty and deadly staph going around! (Doc is concerned that it may be staph). Doc took sample to send in for testing and now I'll just wait and see. OH, and Doc gladly gave me a RX for Chantix! (see I did remember what thread I'm in) But, Doc said to wait until infection is totally gone before starting Chantix. BOO! Just hope this infection clears us soon and this time I am going to start the Chantix. Please say a little prayer for me? I'm so encouraged by all of you and each one's success with Chantix. And Doc was thrilled that I actually asked for it! One little baby step. I feel like crap from this infection and/or the antibiotics. A great big congrats to all of you sticking to your goal. I just hope and pray that I will become a success story too.

Pamy, you sound like you are doing Grrreeaat! You go girl. I'm just kind of bummed because I have to wait until I've taken all my "bug killers". Meme, I bow down to you LOL! You can and will do it. I did tell my non-smoking DH that I have an RX for Chantix, so now I have no excuses. I'll let you guy know when I start them and hope that I'm also soon a non-smoker. I feel sure that I will be crying out for encouragement.

Go Meme!!! Everybody cries at first, Oldtex. The addiction fools you into thinking you are giving up an old and dear friend. It will be okay. Pamy, I have been in this thread from the beginning. I would have to say it could be a contest between Wardog and Halfunit as to who posted the most. I am leaning toward Halfunit, who posted her quitting time in hours. Both of those were pre-Chantix. Halfunit had lozenges, I think, and I don't recall what Wardog did. But, Pamy, you ain't even close on posts, so keep on posting away and aim for that record.

I probably posted the least because I'm the least important. I didn't inspire anyone.

Ok today was the first day for the blue pill, and it made me really sick this morning. I started eating something and it's gotten a whole lot better. I don't eat breakfast so I'll just have to remember to eat something before I take the meds. Hoping my the end of the day, I can count the cigs I've had. lol

One of the teachers here suggested even a piece of cheese. Just anything besides an empty stomach. I just don't like eating first thing in the morning. Habits are made to be broken.

Grannyg, try Honeynut cherrios. It's quick & easy, splash with a little milk. Pamy, were we suppose to cough up stuff?....ewwww... I'm glad I'm not doing that. But, really did you read that somewhere or something? I'm excited that your excited. YAY Pamy, you are conquering triggers. I feel I maybe avoiding, instead of conquering, but, it's the best I can do for now. How ya doing today? Oldtex, I love people bowing to me I'm just trying, some as everyone else. Twinkie, quit that, you never know sometimes who you've inspired. And......you are not the least important. ok, now I'm done smacking you around, do you feel better now? 6 days!!!!

Twinks, i can remember when you quit before and then started and then you came BACK with the Chantix.. I have to think you really inspired more than a few people. Remember there are people reading this thread and not posting at all and they may be drawing great inspration from all of you.

I can't believe how great everyone is doing in here. Granny, I didn't know you were Chantixing yourself. The grumpy stays for awhile, and the nausea is just part of the overall deal although it wasn't overwhelming with me. Pamy, I couldn't be prouder of you if you were my own cat (sniff). Keep up the great work, it's got to get easier, doesn't it? I haven't smoked in two months. Mexico was harder than I thought on the non-smoking thing. I wanted badly to smoke, but I figured out how to make myself just forget about it entirely. I had Colossus buy a couple of small, thin cigars. I took two drags off of the first one, just enough to convince myself that I didn't like the cigar thing at all. The other cigar I stuck in my purse and dragged it around Mexico with me like it was my woobie. Just having it with me was more than enough to take the entire subject off my mind, and I didn't crave cigarettes at all for the rest of the trip. Still having to tell myself "no" a bazillion times a day, but it's less than before and I've never gotten to the point where I was in imminent danger of buying a pack of cigarettes. All in all, quitting has been much easier than I thought it would be with or without the Chantix.
