August 9, 2008 is My Quit Date
Posted by: Susan on: August 5, 2008
That is to be my quitting smoking date. I’m taking Chantix and the first week on it, you’re still smoking learning about the 12 week program and getting the medicine in your system. On day 8 of the medicine, is ideally the first day of no smoking. If you quit in that 12 week period on the Chantix, it is considered a success. A support system goes along with it on their website. These two factors make for a successful quit so they say. I’m counting on it!

Thanks for your suggestion. Because of it, I took my usual morning cigarette and held it and went through the motions. Everything except lighting it.
I had been lighting them and not inhaling. Today I won’t light it. Tomorrow “it” will become a pencil or straw or sucker.
The ritual can be very addicting, too. Now, any suggestions on how to get this foggy mind to clear itself?

Did you try chewing bubble gums? It will keep your mouth busy and if you have baby fat on your cheeks, that’ll vanish. Youtube has got some exccellent videos on anti smoking. One of them actually shows what comes out of a cigerette after the tobacco is taken out and processed. If you can manage to see that, it will definitelly be a gut wrenching exercise to lift your mindblock! I’m searchig for the link. will post it as soon as I have it.

Bubble gum is great! I sorta alternate between that and suckers. I don’t think I wanna see anything that’ll gross me out at this point. I’m shakey, my blood pressure is up and my mind is still foggy. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

I can suggest you something interesting that might help you quit wean your lungs of nicotine. take a cigerette, empty its contents by pinching its butt and letting the tobacco fall freely. Then put it to the lips and pretend you’re smoking. That’s all! It’s all in the mind. Most people smoke for lack of a suitable preoccupation. Did you pause to reflect that you actually smoke not because you love the taste, but you only want to fiddle with something while unwinding or reflecting. Follow my advice and keep me posted if it yielded any result. Good luck
