chantix

[chcruser]

Im 27 I have a great family and Im the only smoker in the family, When we go on vacation or around both sides of the family i cant smoke. Iv been smoking for bout 10yrs now. and my problem is i dont want to quite but i have to. it would make my life so much easyer. Im always worrying when or if i will get my next smoke. I would call myself a tasker and my reward is a smoke. I will tell myself if i clean the kitchen then i can have a smoke, or if i got to get up and make dinner then i can reward myself with a smoke. my DR, is putting me on chantix does it work or am i waisting my money?

This website supports cold turkey quits, but there is absolutely no reason why you can't read some of the excellent articles and prepare for May 1 : )

Do you and your loved ones a favor and don't let yourself get to where I let myself go to : )
I smoked for 38+ years and am quit for 1 1/2 years. I always wanted to quit earlier but never got around to it, and now I only hope I am not to late.

Like anything else, it only works if you want it to. If you are going into this quit with the attitude "I don't want to quit but I have to" then yes, it's a big waste of money.
There is nothing that you can take that will magically make you quit unless you put some time and energy into it.
If you want a reason to reward yourseld, then quit. You might want to try your reward program with something healthier......maybe chocolate.

Good luck
