Thread: Sorry But I Just HAVE to Brag...

Day 9 of quitting tobacco. Been smoking for 25 years. Taking this medication called Chantix to help stop and it really works. I honestly cannot believe I quit smoking cigarettes.

glad to hear it works, I have a freind who is going to be starting on that soon

It works GREAT! Tell him good luck.....

Horray Weedhound, if only I could quit

Blitzed....try this stuff. You can quit with this. It's not like the patches or gum or anything like that. It WORKS! Not only do you lose most of your craving for ciggies....when you do have one it doesn't even taste good or make you feel better .....the medication blocks the nicotine recepters.
This shit WORKS!!

Here is another thread I put out on it awhile back. It has the medical info somewhere in it if you are interested. (not a long post...)

Has Anyone Else tried Chantix?

Way to be weedhound! Im lightin up a j just for you.

thanks skatin...I want you to get nice and super stoned now so I can celebrate. .

Is it prescription, or Over-the-counter?

it's a prescription med....brand new....made by pfizer.
Chantix

Blitzed....I am in the veterinary field and have been for many many years. If there is one thing I work with alot...it's medications....all sorts of different ones. It's hard for a medication to impress me....especially one for "quitting smoking" but I was absolutely blown away by how well this medication works. I;m also a recovering alkie (14 yrs sober) so I am WELL aware of addiction and THIS STUFF WORKS.....no gimmicks...no bs. It really made quitting cigs pretty damn easy.

I might have to look into it, I think when this pack is gone i might try cold turkey again, maybe Ill make a thread about my progress.. idk I'll see what happens

Sweet, you GO girl.

My old man smoked for like 30 years, quit about 10 years ago, and now (at age 56) he runs 3 miles with our dogs in the mornings. He told me that he hasn't been able to do this in decades and that if you'd told him years ago that he'd one day be able to again, that he wouldn't have believed it.

Definitely a healthy decision, yo.

is it that pill cause if so ive heard nothin but good about it i might have to try it

^ ditto, I've heard nothing but GREAT reviews. That's awesome though!! My psych. told me about it and she was raving. Good luck man

CONGRATS, Weedhound.

I also quit on July 4th, 2007. Didn't you see MY THREAD?!?!?! hehe j/k I've had a total of ONE ciggarette since then...I think I'm doing great!

We ROCK!

Yes, that deserves bragging.. weed has helped my smoking ciggs.. but i never really was addicted, my father and grandfather are though.. i know how hard it is to quit.

GOOD LUCK

if you have stuff to occupy your time it makes quitting alot easier, it has to be stuff that you enjoy though.

my plan to quit is make up a week long schedule that takes up 90% of my time. then i wont even want to smoke.

As a fellow cig smoker I would like to say congratulations. Such a harmful and addicting habit. My advice to everyone out there. NEVER even put on in your mouth. In Fact dont even touch one. EVER. You will not beleive how easy it is to become addicted to them and they really do no good for you. Might as well just take a pill everyday that gives you cancer. The smoking is just another way they get you hooked on it.
Stick to the almighty Cannabis Plant. Much Funner!
But anyways....

Congrats WeedHound! I know how tough it is!

good job. it'll also increase your green life, your lungs thank you.

Well i didnt see the need to make a thread about it as im not 100% sure if ive quit yet which sounds kind of silly i suppose ive gone for about 7 days without smoking which i think is pretty good.. i hope i can keep it up forever..

that's awesome man.
i wish it wasn't prescription though.
is it an expensive drug?

im proud of you! my father used chantix after smoking for 40 some years and it worked really well. however, when he stopped taking it, he started smoking again.

yeah if it was OTC i would check it out.

Thanks for all the nice comments and support you guys. I paid cash for the medication...about $100.00 a month because insurance won't cover it....too new I guess.(vs 2-3 pks of cigs a day/between $4-5 a pack) But it really IS amazing so from my point of view.....peeps....if you want to quit.....try this med. Don't worry about your will power....the med will do that for you (disclaimer: my opinion only )

PS...another interesting side note.....my hubby smokes "cigarillos". His smoking doesn't bother me at all.....or make me want a ciggie. Amazing!!!

Good Sis. live a lil longer so we can hang out too .
Glad to hear it's not just you , but Fog n a cpl. others also .
Peace
