Chantix

[Nograts]

Thanks guys! I got this sweet app on my phone that tracks my progress. 1,116 cigarettes not smoked and 262 bucks saved. Although that dollar amount is probably way higher since every other day in the gas station I'd buy a redbull or something. I go to the gas station like once a month now.

Like captante said I still have random cravings but it's like once or twice a day and it's brief. Definitely not going to Crack and start that withdrawal stuff again hellll no. #nolongeraslave

I went from 163 lbs to a whopping 169 lbs. What's weird is my two mile run time actually went up :O

Congratulations. It'd certainly not easy to quit smoking, and as said it takes an incredible amount of determination. Keep it up.

It will be 3yrs for me come September. I ended up going cold turkery and can honestly say I've probably smoked 8 - 10 cigarettes in that span. I"m 37 and this is the 2nd time that i've "quit". My 1st break lasted almost 10yrs. The worst urges for me come when i'm drinking with others and someone decides to burn one....drinking by myself is strangely not really an issue.

In the meantime I took up running in my free time and got my 5k time down to just over 26min. Occasionally I take ra1nman jr. with me on some of my runs and he's shown interest in running with me in our 1st official 5k in early June

I quit smoking 5 or 6 years ago using snus. Nicotine is awesome, I just needed to find a less harmful delivery mechanism.

FWIW, I have seen too many people I'm acquainted with go fucking bonkers on chantix. It's terrible stuff.

Any particular reason why you gave up drinking coffee with caffeine?

Try going without caffeine for 2+ weeks. You will feel your system flushed of caffeine, and, assuming you get a decent amount of sleep - You will also wake up without that groggy omgwhereismycoffee feeling.

You totally got this. I quit Sep 28, 2011 and haven't puffed since. I still love to be around it, though. But I know that so much as one puff and I'm a smoker again.
