Congrats!! Keep it going, don't give up - the hardest part is over now.

I've been taking Chantix for a week now, today I start my full dose of 1mg tablets, as opposed to the .5 mg tablets I've been taking every day. Yesterday I think it finally started "kicking in" because I felt like I didn't get much out of smoking a cigarette - what I think it's doing is slowly making it so when I smoke, nothing happens physically to make me feel good, so I still get cravings...but when you quit cold turkey it's like "I'll kill someone for a cigarette!" whereas my cravings right now, it's like go ahead, smoke a cigarette...so I smoke one and I get pissed off because it does nothing so I put it out halfway through. I think that's what's eventually going to happen and that's how I'll quit. My friend who did Chantix once before said "You'll know when it's time" and I see what he means now.

I guess it's a little better than cold turkey, it's different. I'm excited though. I'm so ready to just do this...
