March will be the 3rd anniversary since I quit. I used Chantix. It was the best thing I'd ever done. Smoked for 22 years.
I tried Chantix. That stuff messed with me. The dreams were intense.
Congratulations. I am a moron when it comes to smoking. Not long ago I just cold-turkey quit for 3 months, coming off a pack-a-day habit, and just picked it up again for no particular reason. It's like BOOM, one day whatever had carried me for 3 months disappeared, and I swung into a gas station.
That's not weird, that's normal. However people who successfully quit smoking keep quitting.
I'm of the Mark Twain school : "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it hundreds of times..."
That happened to me before with dip. I don’t even know why I started back. I use a tobbaco packet now. I mean still like nicotine. I would quit if I wanted to.
Maroon... You're acting way too normal right now.
The dreams were my favorite part. The intensity, realism and most were horror related. I'm just a bit twisted though. That's something I've always recognized and owned. The headaches and nausea were what I hated the most about Chantix. Didn't hurt that I have a beautiful blonde haired blue eyed angel that helped keep me motivated. The cravings used to hit pretty severely, but give it a few mins distraction and they pass. Gotta keep mentally focused. Over time even the cravings pass. Cigarettes just smell awful to me now. Keep at it and you'll eventually succeed. You've shown you have the mental focus of you've been able to cold turkey for that long. That's something I couldn't do.
