I tried both Chantix and Wellbutrin to quit smoking. I have smoked a pack of day for the past 16 years. LOVED SMOKING!! How I quit was that when I had my surgery I had Lap RYN, and really was in very little pain from the surgery. I was though really "nic fitting" out. So I just used my morphine pump a lot while the nicotine worked it ways out. It worked! I have tried to quit a ton of times, but never could. I have 6 children, 4 of them are special adoptions and I can get pretty stressed. What I have done is started using the patch, when I get so stressed Least I have dropped the habit part of it, and am slowly working on the other part.
Funny story... They always say that you should exercise instead of smoke. Thought I would try it. Went to the gym when I had just started to PMS, I was sooooooooo crabby going through my first period without my crutch. Went to the gym and was on the treadmill WALKING. There was three ladies with there skinny bra tops on talking to each other and running. I could not even breath let a alone have a conversation while I was on the treadmill. I was way more crabby after leaving the gym as I was before I started.
Hope you can do, It is so awesome not to stink. My teeth are so white, and my kids are pumped.
Take Care,
Michelle
