Just want to give a quick update.

Well, Yesterday morning was the official start of my "quit day" using the online program in addition to Chantix. Friday night at midnight was the last time I have smoked so I'm now at the 36 hour mark, halfway to the magic 72 hour mark when they say the body is through with nicotine.

I am very pleased to say I've had very little in the way of cravings. The only effects I've had at all are little psychological urges that I've been able to easily put down. I'm already noticing that I feel a little better mentally and physically, and I'm already not wheezing first thing in the morning. I wish I had done this 10 years ago, but better to do it at the present rather than 10 years from now.

Hi - I'm on the same page you are but my sudden little craves are quite strong lasting about 15-20 seconds and then gone. Based on prior "quitting" experience, I would either be climbing the walls or already left to buy cigarettes. So this is good. And I feel good.

I've never had wheezing or cigarette hack but I have enough cancer in my family that should have given me fair warning.

So glad to hear how well you are doing - CONGRATULATIONS

OMALLEY - did you get your prescript yet?

"The only effects I've had at all are little psychological urges that I've been able to easily put down."

Good to hear you're almost there.

I want to comment on your urges. These urges are part of the withdrawal symptoms and should last for approximately two more weeks. If you can overcome these urges over the next 2 weeks, you're home free. It is at this time that any organ that are not at and end-stage will start to heal and rejuvinate themselves.

All this from my experiences from smoking and from what I've read.

Be strong and Congratulations.
