I had tried to quit smoking by going cold turkey a countess number of times. These attempts were very short lived and I was in my car heading to get a pack of cigs usually within 24-36 hours. When i decided to try chantix i researched it online and talked to my Dr about it. Chantix isnt cheap but i was fortunate enough for it to be covered by my prescription medicine plan. I started the medicine and made a big mistake, you DO NOT want to take it without eating first, it will make you sick to your stomach if you dont. I actually threw up when I took it on an empty stomach.The first few days you take it you still smoke and then you stop and continue with the medicine, they recommend 12 weeks of being in the pill. I also got online support, each day i got an email in the morning that takes you to the GETQUIT site. here they ask if you have taken your pill, if you have smoked and to rate your urge to smoke. it keeps track og how many days, and how much money you have saved by not buying cigarettes. It also goves facts about smoking and quitting plus a few activities you can do if you want. After 12 weeks you still get supporyt form the GETQUIT site but it reduces down to a couple emails a week. You also have a toll free number to use if you just need to talk to someone to help get through an urge or for whatever. While taking the chantix, i did have urges from time to time but they were very mild and passed quickly I have been quit for 85 days and I believe that if it werent for Chantix, i never would have done it.

I've been trying to get my husband to try this! Congratulations to you for being able to quit. The price that it may or may not cost someone shouldn't be important. They should just compare it to what they'd pay in cigarettes! Good for you.

Congratulations on quitting smoking. That's awesome to have found something that helped! Welcome to the site and happy new year!

Congrats on your decision to quit, I cut way down but still have not quit all the way. My insurance doesn't cover any cessation drugs, I wish it did. Good luck! Ron
