VinBlanche used the patch several years ago and never looked back. He was one of the lucky ones who was successful first time out of the gate.

Great to see some of the old quitters checking in here! I am sure all of the new quitters would love any words of wisdom you all can offer.

You are all doing the hard work, IMO..

Now if I start dieting, that's another matter entirely

Oldtex...I have to say that I didnt think you would get the Chantix, I figured you wouldnt get it for months.....so when I saw your post I was so excited! I am in awe that even though you sounded scared and unwilling you went out and got the r/x. I know you will do great!!!

I have a feeling you are going to join me as one of the freakin happy non smokers....and then together we can piss off the cranky ones LOL

Pamy...remember I'm just a beginner and naturally I do have doubts. But I know that's not the attitude in order to succeed.

Hopefully all of the positive remarks here will help me. I do appreciate every one I read.

I took my first pill this morning with breakfast. And then went out and bought cigs! I'm looking forward to not having to worry about running out and wow, the money I can save.

Wow, that chart is impressive with so many success stories. I'm trying not to be obsessive and just let the drug "do it's thing" before the really hard work starts.

I'm want to be freakin happy too!

Oldtex, on Chantix you CAN have doubts...I did, all of us did!

I also bought cigs after I started the meds...

yes just sit back, relax and let Chantix do the rest....it really does the hard work....I cant wait to follow your journey!!

Twinkie, what are you doing out of bed? I told you to stay there until I said it was okay to get up. I hope you know I caught your ickyness now and I have to go stay in bed. I think I can make it last all weekend too.

IF you are referring to VinBlanche he was an active member for a while and I believe the rule here is that once a member always a member, unless they are permanently suspended. I distinctly remember reading a post about that not long ago by one of the mods.

Twinks, I believe these are all members..

Hmm, well he could revive his membership easily :-)

That is the rule for Bob's chart, so it works for me for this one.

Well since my dh is a success story, I wanted to share that with you all to spur you on and give you hope. Vin was a 2 pack a day smoker for 30 years and his best advice is that 'you have to really want to quit and if you do, then first go see your doctor'. Our doc put him on the patch, cuz he was really determined to quit and he followed the docs directions, and as I mentioned above he never looked back. And he hasn't smoked in about 10 years!

(Mind you, he's gained about 50 lbs overall, and has managed to lose about 10 of 'em so far.)

I really do wish you all luck... it's hard going trying to lick any addiction. I'm heading back to the dieting thread where I belong. Just wanted to be helpful and cheer you guys along. Keep up the good work!

Mame, I didn't know your husband is as old as me, but if he smoked for 30 years and has quit for 10 he must be.

Twinkie, I don't know how old you are, but I'm 52 & he's 56... we've been married since '99 and he quit smoking a year or two before we got married.

Btw, I'm sorry that you are not feeling well. Feel better soon, kiddo. DH is also feeling under the weather this week. Whatever it is, it's certainly going around. sigh.

ETA - our shoe sizes and blood types will be available in my next post. NOT. LOLOL!

I just look younger and act young at heart. Grin. FWIW, I thought you were younger too, about my age. :-) Like I said, I hope you feel better soon.

Hey Sea! Can you add me to the chart please?

Quit: June 3rd, 2006. Wellbutrin and patch. Record: 1 year 7 months.
Note: Do NOT let weight gain cause you to restart. It just ain't worth it!!

Hey Goddess! How did Christmas with your family go? I hope they didn't give you a hard time but rather, gave you kudoes for quitting.
