Thank you, QuittingGirl, and congratulations on your successful quit!! Chantix gives me a little nausea but not too bad. The last time that I quit using Chantix I got pretty bad gas. I just bumped up to the full strength today and I'm really hoping to avoid that.

New and wondering how to quit with mental illness?
QuittingGirl replied to shy's topic in Introductions & About Us
Well, @shy you and I lead very similar lives, with regard to quitting, and quitting with Chantix, in addition to having a mother who smokes, we both live with our Moms, well sort of! My mom and I own a two family house. She lives downstairs and my family and I live upstairs. But, you get the picture, and to make a long story short, I can smell her smoke in the common hallway because smoke rises. So, it hasn't been easy, but I have gotten through it, and YOU WILL TOO!!!! As I said a couple times earlier, VISIT THIS SITE EVERY SINGLE DAY, (SEVERAL DAYS, AT LEAST!) DO IT, YOU CERTAINLY CAN!!! -

Very sorry to hear that you went back, but it's very good that you came back on here! This is my 2nd, and last time quitting! I certainly don't want to go through those horrible withdrawal symptoms again! NO WAY!!! Just the thought of that really upsets me because it was just terrible! The first time I quit, I didn't have this forum, but I believe if I did, I would not have gone back to smoking. The members of QuitTrain are amazing! They have helped me so much since the day I came on here, and we will help you too! You just have to stick around! I really mean it, support will really help you to quit. We are addicts, just like drug addicts, gambling addicts, and any type of addict needs support. I remember when I used to go to Weight Watchers, they said that you really have to attend the meetings for it to work, and it's true. Addicts need support because quitting any addiction is really really difficult, but it can be done, and when you have support, it makes it so much easier because you aren't alone. We were all newbies at one time, some were able to quit only once and others like you, myself and many others are on their hopefully FINAL time! Hey I can't go back to smoking because my dear friend and co-moderator @Doreensfree would woop my A$$....LOL!!! YOU CAN DO THIS SHY!!! I want to add another tip, if you haven't done it yet. Get rid of any smoking paraphenalia that is in your living quarters. No packs of cigarettes, ashtrays, matches lighters, anything related to smoking! -
Yep tell them craves to bugger off, You are in charge now.

Hi shy, good to see you back, and getting back at it. It is scary to think of never smoking again, but take it a day at a time, and give yourself small rewards for getting through a day, then a week, and so on. It’s amazing how health and wealth grows. -

Well I have an update. I still have not stopped smoking but today I am going to do this! I'm picking up my first inhaler later and it's just got me in my feelings. Like I have really messed up my life from smoking and I'm angry at myself that I never stopped a long time ago. Smh. I HAVE to do this now. I want a better quality of life. I hope you are all doing well and thank you. -

Hi @JoJo Welcome! I was on Chantix the first time I quit and at that time it was a wonder drug for me. I did get the vivid dreams but they didn't bother me. The side effect that really got to me was the nausea which I had in the very beginning of taking it. Do you get the nausea? Unfortunately I went back to smoking after 6 years but I didn't know about this site back then. I truly believe if I was on here, I wouldn't have started smoking again. This 2nd and last time, I started with the weaning method and then when that didn't work, I just went cold turkey. Chantix will help you a lot but you still have to come on here every day and do the daily NOPE pledge. I really believe that is what has gotten me though this for the past 3 years, it keeps me focused. We are all here to support you which will really help! You can do this! Stay strong!!

Hi all, Today is the day. My quit day. I've been here before but it's been a while. My best quit was for 7 years. I was so healthy and happy without that ball and chain. I want that back. I did not want to get out of bed this morning. Luckily my hubby took the dog out. I usually take her out to do her business while I smoke my first cig of the day. I've been up for 3 hours now, mostly on this site. I had a weird, vivid chantix dream last night. In the dream it was my quit day. There was a very big problem (stolen truck, late for work, etc) I really wanted a smoke. Then I turned to my daughter and said "having a cigarette is not going to fix this" Thank you for Joel's videos that I watched yesterday! I have an addiction to smoking and vaping. I think quitting vaping will be the hardest for me. In my previous quits I only smoked cigs, no vape. Lately I only smoke a few cigarettes a day outside, but I puff on a vape almost all day. In the house, in the car, in public... places I would not smoke cigs. I think I'll go back to bed now. Thanks for being here to support. I'll check in later. JoJo
