I'm on 6 months and used the Chantix. I feel great and don't miss the smokes at all after smoking for 25 years. It gets easier. Hang in there.
Chocolate helps, but now I am paying for that.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hooray for smoke-free peoples!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I know someone who quit smoking by immersing himself in either an iodine bath or an epsom salt bath.
That sounds...extreme.

by immersing himself in either an iodine bath or an epsom salt bath.
Because he was literally smoking? Due to being on fire? IOW, huh.
Go Cindy!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go you guys! I will exhale in your direction, if you really really insist.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
apparently the iodine or epsom salts sucks out impurities and relieves the symptoms of nicotine dependency. Or, this is what my acquaintance believed.

Wednesday will be 21 days since I've smoked. I stopped taking the Chantix one week into not smoking because it wasn't agreeing with me. It's killing me, but I'm doing it.
Go team Cindy! Believe me, if this sticks, you will be so happy to be free of the evilest weed.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Go, all the smokers who aren't anymore! Congratulations!
