Ya know - After 3+ decades of smoking

[lunatica]

12. I quit with Chantix too

I smoked 30 years and more than 2 packs a day.

As you know you don’t crave a cigarette the same way when taking Chantix. You have to resist the pattern of smoking which means that your brain is telling you that whenever you did this activity before you would smoke. So every time you do something that you used to light up you get the craving. But once you resist the urge a couple of times your brain will settle down and stop reminding you.

That’s why the cravings go away pretty quickly. It isn’t your body that’s craving the nicotine. It’s your mental habit of smoking during certain activities that you’re fighting.

If the craving is too strong then go do something else where you don’t get the craving anymore. Your urge will go away quickly.

You can do this.

I’ve been a non smoker for more than twenty years.
