I'm glad I ran across Chantix ! It got me thru the nicotine withdrawals and put the whoa on the urges.I never noticed any withdrawals at all.I had smoked for 39 years,2-3 packs aday.

I went cold turkey,no chantix,at 1 month.The nicotine was 100% out of my system and I figured I could handle any urges on my own.I've been off Chantix for four weeks this friday.No problem.
Rick,We are all so different. I just knew I could go it alone after 1 month,Most go the whole 3 months or more.

I would say go for it with the Chantix.I just can't imagine it being more painless than it has been.

Yea Fred. But only 17 pounds? I gained about 75 pounds in the first year after I quit. It really helped that I had lost 100 pounds in the couple of years before I quit smoking. If I had not, I would have to grease up my body to fit into my Cobra!

Keep up the good work, but watch out for the weight gain, even if you still consider yourself skinny. During the first 6 months I used to grab a plastic straw and use it like a teething ring for an ex-smoker.

This helped, especially after a good meal, when the urge for a butt is high.
