Why is this so hard?
I am on chantix for the 10th time. I really thought it was gonna stick this time, and while I have not given up hope, I am frustrated. I quit, on my quit day, Aug. 24th.

Bupropion
Going into 4 week ! Chantix the first nine days! Now On Bupropion. l am not smoking. Just wondering if anyone has tried this it seems like it’s keeping me up at night..I’m feeling very Anxious. Anyone tried this ?
2 years since I quit!🤩
Had to rely on Champix to support me but it was worth it.
So to those just starting out please stick with it - there is light at the end of the tunnel.!
Job done!
It was tough, but with champix and this forum I did it.
After that, had one relapse and I thought I was doomed again but bravely enough, I reset my count and stopped again.
I did not count the days anymore, I think I'm around 3 years smoke free... I don't even know anymore to be honest.
