So I’ve finally decided that it was time to quite smoking….for me! And I want everyone here to know it! I just blogged my "goodbye" letter to Mr. Marlboro lt! lol. I started Chantix this morning and soon enough I will be rid of this horrible habit and killer!!
I just want to thank Sissy for being such a wonderful friend and I am blessed to have such great support!
Thanks to everyone on here who support me with dance…and with this journey! I know I can’t do this alone!

YAY! Good for you! It is such a hard habit to give up, but think how much better your life will be without them!! and not at all to bring the mood down, but i do want you to try and keep this in mind anytime you have a REALLY bad craving… my step-grandmother just passed away this morning from cancer, caused by her lifelong addiction to cigarettes… you were 100% right when u said it is a killer… You can do it Roxy!! We all know you can! You know you can too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif We love you and are so proud of you <3 xoxo
I’m sorry about your step-grnadmother too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif That sucks.
All the more motivation… -
And in your honor Roxy I only smoked one half of a cigarette all day yesterday…and then I didn’t really even want it ….I don’t think I really wanted it to begin with LOL. I just had one when I got off work cuz my feet were killing me and I was stressed. I took a few puffs and put it out…
……I think this anti -smoking thing might be contagious https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif

lol…wouldn’t that be nice if it was contagious?? and then all of us who are quitting wouldn’t be "tempted"!! haha

YAY for you Roxy!!! I am on the anti smoking kick too. I got a prescription for chantix myself but haven’t been able to fill it just yet. I have tried the patch countless times along with tons of other methods and nothing so far has worked. I hope I can follow suit. I am really interested to know how the chantix works out for you. Keep us posted.

I am so proud of you, Roxy! Let me know if you need anything – I have been in your shoes and quitting smoking was the best gift I could give myself. You can do it – we need to get together and celebrate! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

CONGRATS it is hard but once you do it I know you will be happier…I have been trying to quit for a really long time…but I have been pretty lame about it – I need to actually commit to it for real. We are worth it and better than the cigs – remind your self that each day https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thanks ladies! It’s actually pretty interesting how the Chantix is working for me…it makes smoking taste SUPER NASTY and it starts to eliminate the cravings and you don’t get any satisfaction from smoking. I’ve only been on it for three days and when I smoked this morning I could only smoke half a cig before gaging!! I’ve also noticed that things that used to "trigger" me wanting to step out side…have started to blow over! I feel great knowing that I am doing the best thing for myself! So I typically would smoke anywhere from a half pack to a whole one depending on the day….and yesterday….I only had 6!!!!! I’m so proud of myself! It really does help to be surrounded by people who support you and know that you can do it!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

That’s Awesome!!!!! Only three days in and you’re already seeing great results!!! Just think how much easier it gets every day!!! You rock!!! Keep us posted!!

Ok so I really can’t believe this myself but I’ve only been on Chantix now for 5 1/2 days….and I haven’t smoked in over a day and a half!!!! It’s amazingly easy and my level of self efficacy is throuh the roof!! I have a ton of energy and motivation!! I thought it would be so much harder than this…I think maybe it’s been easy because I was really ready!!
I’m already thinking of ideas for my "goodbye Marlboro’s dance"!!!! Keep an eye out for it this week!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
oh and the best part…I can smell my freshly shampoo’d hair again!! I love the way Pantene smells!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I remember the first whiff I got of my hair when I quit over a year ago…ohh man tasty https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Unfortunately I’m back on the bandwagon again https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif I stayed quit for about a year but man college is soooo bad for my smoking habits…all my friends (and I mean all. Literally every single one) smoke. Just got out of a 3 year relationship with a guy who smoked, and the guy I’m seeing now smokes worse https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif When I quit the first time, it was because I realized I was officially a 5 year smoker, because I started at 15. Now I’m realizing I will probably see the 10 year mark roll around and my head will spin when it does. I never thought at 15 that I ever could or would be a smoker of 5-10 years, but then again what the heck did I know at 15? Shows how much foresight I had, that’s kind of what happens! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I don’t think you can expect yourself at 15 to know what a bad idea it was to pick up that first cigarette. I know it’s hard as hell to quit when everyone around you smokes. That’s why I love Chantix because it makes it so that even if you feel like you should smoke, you can’t cuz it’s gross. Somehow this medication totally turns you off to smoking. I don’t know how it works but it’s good stuff.

That’s so awesome! And like everyone else said, feel free to text me if you get an urge https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif It might help to keep your hands busy with texting so you don’t have the inclination to grab one and light up. I know you can do it!

I have officially joined the stop smoking revolution. Not had a cigarette now since the weekend (not long, but a start!) and my husband has stopped on the Champix too (I’m trying cold turkey this time!). Fingers crossed we can stay stopped – and not kill each other in the meantime lol Looks like I’ll have to get some more poling in to keep my occupied. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif
