Very cool, I e-mailed our posts to my friends that smoke.
Tried Chantix and after three weeks gave it up because of the side effects. Four days later came across whyquit.com. I have no idea why or how I ended up at that website, but it made all he difference in the world to me. I quit two days into reading that website. I think the key was having the needed information to help put quitting into perspective. How long are the cravings? How many per day? What’s the difference b/t a craving and a trigger? How do you break triggers? How long is the nicotine in my body after I quit? What are the side effects of quitting and how do i handle it? What are the effects of alcohol, caffeine, and stress upon nicotine and smoking?
Quit cold turkey. No Chantix, no NRTs, no gum, no mints, no tricks.
Smoked for 32 years! Was at 2 packs per day on the weekdays and 3 packs on weekends whenIi'd ride my harley and pop open a few beers.
