i think its time to stop..i have tried before and i am scared of failing again.. has anyone tried this drug? it sounds too good to be trueChantix worked great for me. It doesn-t take away the urge to smoke that comes with habit, but it helps tremendously for when you want to smoke due to the nicotine addiction. At first, I still had to fight wanting to smoke after eating, or driving, but at least I didn-t have that jittery nervous feeling and wasn-t even grouchy.I did have to take the medicine on a full stomach or it would make me nauseous. The times I did take it without a meal the nausea didn-t last for more than 30 minutes. I also had some insomnia problems, but all in all it works great.
It works different than any other product out there. I tried the patches, gum, lozenges, etc., but since you are still receiving nicotine it does nothing for the addiction. Take the Chantix and the addiction part is over quickly and then you just have to break the hand habit.-has anyone tried champix to help you stop smoking?-
No; I haven-t, so I can NOT comment on that aspect ...
HOWEVER I did stop smoking (cold turkey) 01.01.2007.
-i am scared of failing again-
Failure is no big thing; who are you failing, after all?
-i think its time to stop-
This wishy-washy, passive attitude won-t cut it.
You either want to or don-t want to ... you want to but you don-t.
I know I sound harsh BUT quitting smoking is nothing like quitting ANYTHING else.
For a few years before I turned 60, I said I-d stop IF I made it.
Even a few days before turning 60 I wouldn-t use the words -WHEN I turn 60 ...- cos I know NOTHING is a certainty.
When I stopped I KNEW it would be as tough as I wanted to make it - if the thought of having ONE smoke entered my head (and it did so often) I very consciously said to myself, out loud: And then what?
I NEVER expected that my mates change their smoking habits for me - they didn-t.
I don-t care if they smoke in my house - a few incense sticks after they-ve gone and all the smell is gone.
I don-t care if the rest of the planet doesn-t support my decision to stop smoking.
It is ME who wants to be UN-enslaved.
Use whatever means you want ... ultimately the decision will STILL be yours to STAY stopped.
STAYING stopped is the -hardest- part of the deal; anyone can stop - you stop for a few hours every night when you sleep; it-s easy.
Good luck with making your decision.
It really will be as easy as YOU want to make it.
If you do NOT want to stop you will find all sorts of excuses to support you; to justify it to yourself.
-Under some sort of pressure- is always the best one.

[edit]
The only other time I was serious about stopping was back on (Sunday – trust me – I just looked it up)10.06.1990.
I can’t remember why I picked that day BUT sometime after committing to that date I also organised a sales conference for that weekend … and right in the middle of the two day event I was gonna do something monumental.
Can I tell you it was a fizzer – it was so damned easy – I just played with my head; it was fun.
I stayed stopped for a year and I got cocky; took my eye off the game; I had ‘just one’.
Oh, AND, I smoked marijuana for close to forty years – it was my favourite drug; THAT is what I have missed most of all.
~Champix (named Chantix in USA) is a good treatment to quit smoking, but you must consult your doctor before take Champix, because some patients have abnormal dreams side effects and nausea.

The only help I can give you is to encourage you to keep trying.
I quit cold turkey 37 years ago. I have never once regretted it.
You have to really want to quit. If you waver just a little bit you won-t stay quit.
Good luck!Chantix or not, I wish you the best quitting it for good!!
I quit it cold turkey since 4-15 after one pack/day over 30 years. Good luck!
