Ya know - After 3+ decades of smoking

[applegrove]

60. I quit using Chantix and 5 months into the quit I stopped craving. I never want

to smoke when i see someone doing it. I also smoked herbal cigarettes in my 3r and 4th month of my quit (after I stopped taking chantix). Only when i really wanted a smoke....once or three times a day I went herbal. After two months of herbal smokes I was disgusted with the whole process. I think the chantix blocked the pleasure center of the brain from getting a nicoteen hit. Then the herbal smokes replaced then sensation of lighting up and liking it with lighting up and disliking it. A one two punch. Worked for me.

There is also the quitnet. log on when you are having a crave. Get kicked around or supported by a bunch of quitters. Thank them for teasing you. Thank each and every person. And your crave has passed while your hands were kept busy typing (the craves only last a few minutes eh?)

Good luck to you. It is such a relief to be quit. I've been so 10 years and I never crave. Best thing I ever did for myself.
