My 3rd day.

[nsd_user663_2596]

Hello all, I am a 31 year old female that has been smoking for about 14 years. I started taking Chantix one day last week. I took it for 5 days and decided I wasnt taking it anymore. It made me feel weird, not like myself. I stopped taking it Friday and I stopped smoking Saturday afternoon. So that makes this my 3rd day. I cant say that this is at all easy. I wake up in the middle of the night wanting to smoke. It is the first thing that I think about when I get up in the mornings. I hate this feeling. I keep thinking I would feel better if I could just smoke one more, but I have kept myself from it somehow.

3rd day for me was constant need a fag day .... you are doing really well ... don't throw in the towel ... if need be, do what I did which was to get an early night ..... you may get a restless sleep but at least you will not get tempted to light up .... hang in there we all are feeling the same hell

Ooops you are in the states !!! early night might not be a option at this current moment ..... but needless to stay strong!!!! if in the office keep raiding the water machine to take you mind of it.

virginia hang in there a little while longer! on Day 3 (and yes I still have to write it in capital letters :rolleyes::o) I cried my eyes out due to sheer unhappyness and frustration, you seem to be doing way better than that ;). Keep busy, try and train your mind to think how liberating it actually is to not have to light up another one and another one over and over and over...Tomorrow you're going to be so proud of yourself! Keep us posted hun we're here to help xx
