I finally quit after several attempts , once I quit cold turkey for 4 years but started again. Chantix worked for me , 8 years now and counting.

I'm on my 2nd try with the chantix, and the Goddess is starting it tomorrow. I know from experience that things are going to get very strange at chez nous, but if it works, selah.

I've never used it, but I researched it. (Which is why I never used it, lol)

Ambien is another one. Have a friend who tried that and ended up totally fucking up his life. Pretty hefty side effect.

Never in the house. I wouldn't let my da smoke in my house either, and he was an intimidating motherfucker.

I would strongly recommend switching to vaping over Chantix. How many cigarettes do you smoke per day, so I can gauge your daily nicotine intake?

Between the Gooddess and I, the ashtray is frequently full. I use two inhalers and an emergency puffer, and so does she. And so the need for desperate measures. I have a juul stick, which literally stinks, and two months of chantix. We're both quitting by christmas.

My Doc once told me that if lifetime smokers want any benefits by quitting smoking then they have to do it before the age of 50..
I quit when I was 46 and many of my old coworkers who were younger but never quit are now planted with dandelions growing about six feet above them.

Your lungs have an appreciable improvement after just a few weeks smoke free. Not to say the damage is undone, but your chances get better. Heart disease, though, is irreparable.

Quitting is a bitch but that is something that you decide..

Dying is also a bitch (I'm only guessing on that one) But either you do or you don't do. What feeling is stronger?

Smoke or Quit.... I hope you find the strength to quit.
