I am trying to quit smoking. Ive been smoking for 15 years. I still like to smoke though, in fact, I am so addicted that I can just sit all day and smoke one right after the other. My husband decided to try Chantix the new stop smoking medicine. I thought I should quit since he was trying to quit. I was afraid to take the medicine though because I dont deal well with medications. I am chewing nicorette 4 mg. I havent smoked in a week! It is not all because of the gum though. I really had to decide for myself that I was going to quit. The gum helps a lot. The first three days were the hardest. After the third day I noticed that my face looked better. The pores on my face actually went back to normal ( I had large pores before). I also noticed I had more energy. I have less anxiety and depression too. Could it be that cigarettes are not really helping with your anxiety but making it worse? Ive also had about twice as much time to do things around the house. I wonder how many hours of my life I have wasted smoking! So far, between my husband and I we have saved $80 in a week. We were buying two packs a day. Of course I have only quit for a week but that urge to smoke one more creeps up every day. Thankfully I also have the tools from NA that 1 is too many and 1000’s never enough and that reminds me not to pick one up. It also reminds me that I am an addict and I always will be.
