How to put down that last cigarette!

I did it with Chantix but I stayed on the beginning dose. It was only when I upped the dose the 2nd week that the nightmares and mania started. So I just went back down (actually thinking I was going to stop) and stayed there with no problems. I also liked the Stay Quit program that came with the Chantix.

On the other side of 4 months now, I gained 20 lbs. Thus here I am.

If I had to do it differently, I would have used toothpicks instead of hard candy and banana chips.

I still have days when I say I would rather smoke than be this fat. (I have never been over 200 lbs before) But I think its just the habit trying to find its way into my head again.

Good Luck. Its been the hardest thing I have ever done. Including give birth 3 times and gone through a heart wrenching divorce.
