I quit smoking!
 
I quit smoking 6 weeks ago after struggling for years to quit. I tried everything. Finally my doctor gave me a prescription for Chantix. It works! I do have some side effects but nothing terrible: vivid dreams, constipation and gas. I don't know how this works exactly but it made quitting possible without suffering much. I thought I'd never be able to quit. :o

Congratulations! :thumbup:

For the intestinal side-effects, try drinking more water. Taking an acidophilus supplement also helps the gut. :) The acidophilus may take a couple of weeks, before you see a difference, so don't give up on it.

I quit 15 years ago using Zyban. The best thing is after many years of heavy smoking, I have never once been tempted to go back. May you be as lucky as I am!

GOOD FOR YOU! Yes, I am shouting - cheering for you. I wish certain relatives of mine would quit. It's not just for your sake, but for those who love you. Now you'll have all that extra $$ for fabric!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! My DD is trying. At least she says she is. Quit once, then started again. Don't let that happen to you!!! Great Job, you should be very proud of yourself.
