Chantix has worked for us. It takes the edge off and cuts the cravings for nicotine.
You must see your doctor to get it. But it was worth it for us.
I believe it was Samuel Clemens who said, “Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.”
For me, when I was a smoker, this wit-full insight struck home. I had tried almost every conceivable means of relieving myself of this horrid addiction. Medication, nicotine gum, “cold-turkey”, “tapering off”, herbal remedies, etc, etc. Nothing worked! Oh sure, I would be free of “the weed” for a short time… I believe I managed for almost 3-weeks once. I was at my wits end. Difficulty breathing, chest pains, horrid breath, bad taste in my mouth, … I don’t need to go on…. you know what it’s like.
A co-worker suggested that I try hypnosis. After researching and questioning those who promised relief through hypnosis I decided to give it a try. I logically reasoned that the cost of the therapy session was equal to the cost of smoking for 2-weeks. Therefore if I could be smoke free for 2-weeks I would break even.. any longer and I would be a winner.
I went! One session is all it took. I went in a smoker and came out a non-smoker. That was 17-years ago. I remember being a smoker before that day, but since then all “attachment” to tobacco has been removed. No emotional attachment, no cravings, and no addiction. Hypnosis works!
