I vividly remember my feelings of complete and total despair and rage... to the point where Don said a couple of times, "I'm just going to go buy you a pack of cigs because I can't bear seeing you this way." <br /><br />Hope you're doing okay, June. I'm sure there are still many moments when you'd like to just rip someone's head straight off their shoulders. That too shall pass. :D <br /><br />Congratulations on quitting. I just know now that I feel and smell so much better without them.Morning Bray Farmhttp://www.morningbrayfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-9919399614210689092011-10-02T23:20:10.371-04:002011-10-02T23:20:10.371-04:00Good for you -- in lots of ways!Good for you -- in lots of ways!Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-50216916989142620052011-10-02T12:46:05.849-04:002011-10-02T12:46:05.849-04:00I've heard some pretty nasty stories about Cha...I've heard some pretty nasty stories about Chantix.

In my old apartment it only happened in one room and I heard big band music. I figured it was some residual paranormal stuff left from the family that lived there from 1916 to about 1990. In my home now it only happens in the bedroom and I can only hear it if I am in the bathroom. It sounds like a news program on tv or radio but I can never make out exactly what is said. But this mobile home is only 15 years old so I'm not sure if it might be paranormal or just me being abnormal.<br />logging in by name because I am at my parent's home this week.Angela/ladyhawthornenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-5759829530050789552011-09-26T16:22:36.988-04:002011-09-26T16:22:36.988-04:00oooooooo errrrrrrr I salute you and do a little ji...oooooooo errrrrrrr I salute you and do a little jig to your courage!<br /><br />Those side effects are the reasons that my doctor advised me against trying it..........i agreed, do you think if you had not had your husband around you may have reacted differently to those feelings.<br />Now you have finished with them, are you having cravings?<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this experience with us, it is hard to find anyone who smokes these days who wants to give up let alone also tries with Chantix.The Cranky Crone, she lives alone!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18008449764395110002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-9915054552740153172011-09-26T12:45:43.622-04:002011-09-26T12:45:43.622-04:00Wishing you great will power and continued success...Wishing you great will power and continued success, June.Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-89246327170816689882011-09-26T12:44:37.380-04:002011-09-26T12:44:37.380-04:00I have to say , Chantix just sounds too scarey to ...I have to say , Chantix just sounds too scarey to try and I'm glad it wasn't on offer when I wanted to stop smoking .

HOWEVER, there are still times I'd rip someone's spleen out for a smoke. It was my friend for a long time. Remembering the first two weeks of withdrawal is what keeps me going. I just don't think I could do that again.<br /><br />HEY! The verification word is a message: dressfun! HA! I think I will.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487299243348055428noreply@blogger.com
