In My Opinion
I am forced to think of DR at this moment, and as I look at your post I become alarmed, concerned for his health if you will.....
please, do not put down the smokes and pick up sharp items like needles.
DR would not be happy with a cross stitch needle sticking out of his eye because you suffered a momentary nicotine fit.

No - you're doing good!
I didn't make it as far as you have when I tried Chantix. Are you saying that it isn't working for you anymore?
No - you're doing good!
Thanks. I am doing pretty good. Haven't smoked since Tuesday, but I guess the excitement of the ball game has got me rung up and I would love to have one. Busying myself here with folding and putting away laundry... Not going to venture out to buy some with an 8 y/o asleep in bed.

I was craving Samoas tonight.
Go to Giant and get some of the limited Girl Scout cookie ice cream. I think there is Samoa. I have bought the Thin Mint
at Giant and they had it at SFW today.I saw Buddy Lee too.

I can't eat girl scout cookies. I gained 40 pounds between May and November after I quit smoking. Now I'm on my way back down to normal size; I've lost 32 pounds since Thanksgiving.

Alright!!!Thanks! I AM gonna kick it!
Since you've not gone through a no smoking class.....a few pointers from someone whose been there. 1. you will crave a cig anytime you do something your brain associates with smoking, i.e. driving, watching TV, etc. Change your routine. If you drink coffee a certain way and have a cigarette with it, change the way you take your coffee. If you have a certain alcoholic beverage, change it. 2. Don't take the food route. Don't sub food for the cig. Start exercising. Yes, it's a lifestyle change, but you'll get used to it. I know you can do it.
Quitting smoking is the second hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

There was a quit smoking program on Oprah a week or so ago. Dr. Oz said the very same thing, substitute tea for coffee, etc. He also said don't think of it as going Smoke Free, but as going Breathe Free.
My thing is when going out to a bar and being around it or at home because of boredom. As you well know, I haven't been out
and I haven't had a smoke since last Thursday and am doing okay with a glass or two of wine. Don't get me wrong, the craving is there, but I have been able to overcome it.

You don't have to worry about smoking in bars anymore. Not allowed in MD. I don't have to come home from Jethros smelling like smoke anymore. And you will smell the smoke on your clothes now and in your car until it goes away....in time and wash clothes of course. You will also find after about a month or two you will have alot more energy you will need to get rid of, i.e. exercise. You may have to switch from wine for a time. I had to stop beer for a few months, but I can now drink one without wanting a cig. You will be able to walk up steps without getting out of breath.There was a quit smoking program on Oprah a week or so ago.

I never worried about coming home from a bar smelling like smoke, I expected it. Goes with the territory. Don't smoke in my house or car either. Not a problem. Don't smoke at work during the day either. I just need to get through the evening boredom habit of it.

Yep, I had it when watching TV. Had to light one up. Put the ash trays away, you won't need them anymore. And you will find other ways to fill your evenings. Reading more. You'll get things done around the house you didn't used to get done.
Believe me the cravings will pass. Like I said, it's the second hardest thing I've ever gone through in my life, but you'll get through it if you've gone this far and I didn't have Chantix to help me.
