I did not get suicidal thoughts or weird dreams, but my whole personality changed. I became mean and hateful. The day I called my 7 year old a waste of space with so much malice it scared me, was my wake-up. I quit the Chantix, apologized and cried and apologized to my daughter, and I am disappointed to say that after all that, I am smoking again. I will quit. But I will do it without a brain-altering drug that turns me into an evil Disney character. Good luck to you, I know that it is hard. So. Very. Hard.Counting Caballeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468483600948636452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-82258584239640258372012-01-03T20:43:36.501-06:002012-01-03T20:43:36.501-06:00Good luck to you!!

We're with ya.<br /><br />I remember reading somewhere that it's really the deep breaths that help you feel calm when you smoke, since nicotine is a stimulant. Practicing deep breathing when I had cravings helped me a ton as far as being able to say "I'm not going to smoke right now."<br /><br />Best wishes to you!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763985035892742115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-35958264704787123692012-01-02T13:33:07.017-06:002012-01-02T13:33:07.017-06:00"...we have a baby coming this year, I'm ..."...we have a baby coming this year, I'm sure of it."Erickanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-54080203633688438402012-01-02T13:29:11.912-06:002012-01-02T13:29:11.912-06:00I feel ya on so many levels.

Booze and pills lasted 2 days. 6+ months later, I'm still smoking. :-(<br /><br />I'm a "typical" (whatever THAT means) addict/alcoholic that trades one addiction for another. Drugs, alcohol, pills, food, sex, cigs...whatever makes me feel good is most likely going to be over used and abused. It really sucks that the only things that make me feel good are bad for me. lol In fact, I think that shall be the topic of MY next blog. :-)<br /><br />Hang in there girl. I'm rooting for you and hope to be in the ranks of ex-smoker with you soon.SoberTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561666971834678871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-70553481693941024822012-01-02T13:18:29.036-06:002012-01-02T13:18:29.036-06:00Ab-so-fucking-lutely!

It's hard, it sucks balls, it fucking hurts, it messes up your sleep, your emotions, and your stomach, but you know that and you're ready. It does get better and easier every day, and you can do it. :)Elyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880342461581410942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-65498456619838104092012-01-02T13:13:43.005-06:002012-01-02T13:13:43.005-06:00Good luck, I am also a former addict but I kinda l...Good luck, I am also a former addict but I kinda loved opiates.
