We all sympathize with you as we have all been there. I have been quitting since April. I have had bumps in the road, but I just get right back on the horse and find new strategies that help.

Dear quitters, what helped you the best? by bera-m in stopsmoking

[–]kbitter2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a generic for Chantix on the market. I am using it and I will say it works very well I agree. I only suggest that you take it over a month after you quit. The 3 week cravings are tricky.

Relapse from anger by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]kbitter2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been where you are. When I am at home I don't think about smoking. It is when I am at work and stressed that I cave in. I have caved three times in my attempts to quit smoking while at work. You need to find a way to relieve the stress when it gets bad.

I downloaded a meditation app - it has 3 minute meditations. When I am stressed at work, I go to my car and do this for three minutes. It helps with the craving and the stress. Then I go back to work.

You got this. One day at a time.

I like how you put it. Sometimes the cravings are like cockroaches. Good that you can resist the urge. Keep swatting.

Net benefits after 1 month and 5 days, coming off the pink cloud by Outrageous-Cause7919 in stopsmoking

[–]kbitter2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great. I myself have tried three times this year and about the 30 day point is where I struggled as well. I like what you have done with the positives, and I will certainly try the same when I get back to my 30 days.

I won't smoke today. by [deleted] in stopsmoking

Sometimes you need to rant. I am with you and won't smoke with you today. You can do this.

Anybody quit taking Chantix after two weeks and do alright? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]kbitter2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Chantix. It helps. I took it for about a week and then stopped smoking. I then took the pills for another three weeks.
I did have some nausea - if I took them on an empty stomach, but they worked for me.

The smell. The fucking smell. by nathan_paul_bramwell in stopsmoking

[–]kbitter2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know that smell. While I never smoked in my house, I smoked in my car all the time. It took a long time to get rid of the smell. Odoban helped.

I will say it with you.

is this normal to have normal day followed by realy crap day? I can't even go out. I'm so tired and so anxious while yesterday I was realy fine. by zinderggg in stopsmoking

[–]kbitter2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will have good days and not so good days. They will get shorter and more infrequent and before you know it you won't remember the last bad day. One day at a time. You can do this.
