Spring/Summer distractions in those early quits

Hi @Orion Welcome! 19 days is great! The first time I quit I used Chantix but didn't have the side effects you are describing. The worst effect I had was nausea that lasted for about 30 minutes or so each morning. I also had vivid dreams but those didn't really bother me. For me, Chantix was a wonder drug as it made me forget to smoke. I was quit for 6 years and then unfortunately I went back, but I believe if I found this site back then, I would have gotten the support I needed and probably wouldn't have gone back. My advice to you is speak with your doctor and tell them what is happening. I can tell you though that the cravings, if you do get them with a lower dose, will eventually go away, they certainly don't last forever. If you are looking for a support group, this is the group to be in because our members are great and you will get a lot of support! Good luck to you!

Welcome @Orion and well done on 19 days smoke free so far! I don't have any experience with Varenicline so I can't offer any advise on that I'm afraid but I just wanted to welcome you! Would it possible to chat with your doctor who prescribed the medication and see if they can see if adjusting the meds is needed or if they can come up with other alternatives? I'm sorry you're feeling the way you do, it sounds awful but know you're doing amazing for not smoking for a whole 19 days!

You’re doing great @FinalAttempt….many of us quitters take up some kind of exercise after we Quit …we try and undo years of nicotine abuse your using muscles that have not been used in a long time …maybe a nice swim. Well done

Early March we had some spring like temperatures. All kind of triggers hit me as last year I sat outside and smoked. Or I worked in the garden and smoked. This week we had again better temperatures and I noticed that the triggers were less when I went outside. I am looking forward to a smoke-free spring and summer! -
@despair not Keep it up baby, yeah!
