So a family member has inspired me to look into Chantix. Like most people with a habit, I’ve reached that point in my life when it is Really Important that I quit smoking. I’m one of those ’serious addicts’ and have never been able to make it more than 10 days without a smoke. The longest I’ve ever gone is when I was in boot, and when I got kicked out of the Corps, well, let’s just say that felt like a really good time for some self-destruction, and I lit up again almost right after signing my final papers. The gum never did it for me and that other drug that’s been out for a while sounded scary and not too effectual. So what do you all think about Chantix? Anyone tried it? There’s a slim chance, poor blogger that I am, I may even qualify for a free trial for a few months. Any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated. Consider this a Smoking Open Thread, where we’d love it for you to share your stories, smoker and nonsmoker alike.
