Hi Tom and welcome! I just quit yesterday. I worried so much before I quit but the truth is that quitting is not nearly as stressful or as difficult as all the time I spent worrying about it. I truly believe it's mind over matter. My frame of mind is that I am not giving up anything, and I have so much to gain. Read all the helpful information on this site. Education is key! Congratulations on the best decision of your life! Sandy

"Every day done is a day you never have to do again" ^^^^^^^^^^ My mantra :)

Hi and thanks for the welcome! This has to be my final quit. It seems like I have been trying to quit all summer! No more trying, this is it. Taking my freedom back :)

July 24, 2014 I put down that last nasty, awful cig and said to myself "No more!". I have been taking Chantix, and it is working. I had not planned to quit that day, but could not stand smoking for another day! Now here it is July 25th, and I'm smoke-free!I cannot possibly do this again so I just know this is going to be my final quit. I'm glad to have found this Quit Train forum :) Oh, and my coffee really tastes like coffee today :)

Hello Bandito, Doreen, Lace and Susana!

A little about me. Life long smoker, 20-30 cigs a day. I quit in May, slipped in June and got right back to quitting the next day. Then relapsed on July 7th. I blamed it on "depression" but after talking to my Dr. we came to the conclusion that it was probably the "blahs" that some people experience when they have quit. I started my Chantix again, and had planned to quit July 25th or 26th (weekend). But I absolutely could not stand to smoke another day, so I put out my last one this morning at 10:30. I was not taking the Chantix as prescribed, (had read all the scary warnings) so it was of little help the last time I quit. This time I'm taking it as prescribed and it seems to be doing it's job. I realize there is no magic bullet for this addiction and that I will have to do the work to stay quit. I have been reading here and also at another site, so I am much more educated than I ever was before. I recognize some of you folks from the other forum, and am excited to meet everyone else. Hoping and praying that this is my final quit.
