    My husband recently quit due to C.O.P.D. and it was hard. But the first 7 days are the hardest and if you can get thru those without picking up, it will get easier. He tried the Chantix, but it gave him extremely vivid nightmares that he would wake up screaming from, so in the end he just did it cold turkey.

    Good Luck SadMan!!!

    Thank you. Very hard I will be tomorrow, Friday - usually when I drink beer (smoking a cigarette) with friends. Beer without cigarettes - a completely different taste!

    That is a common problem. I kept hard candies and lolipops in the house for my husband when he was like that. Nicotine helps to curb your appetite and you don't really realize how much until you quit smoking.

    I quite using Chantix. Had very vivid dreams, but enjoyed them. I used their online support, which proved helpful. Of course I quite drinking two years prior, so that made it a bit easier. I was also scared because I was falsely told I had COPD. Can't imagine trying to quite while drinking. I do know that I really needed to want it badly. If you're not there mentally, failure is the outcome. I have been smoke free now for about eight years. Rarely do I crave a smoke and that thought is fleeting. It's worth the effort and I wish you and everybody who tries my best wishes in your endeavor.
