I'm glad to see this thread kept active. I'm just ahead of Trish (as I discovered on another board. Hi trish!) and, like her, I seemed to have replaced all my old fears of "quitting smoking" with extreme nervousness about "quitting chantix"
::sigh::
Ridiculous to be worrying about this now, today, I know that but I find myself getting worried that something drastic is going to happen and maybe I should go for another month after the 12 weeks. Or something drastic is going to happen if I don't wean off. Or something drastic is going to happen if I *do* wean off.
I've been full bent on acclimating myself to being non-smoker. On previous quit attempts, I avoided places and things that caused me to smoke and this time I've been actively seeking them out. I figured it's never going to get any easier to deal with them for the "first time" than it is now, on Chantix, and so I've been looking for every opportunity to expand my comfort zones in areas to include not smoking.
I'm hoping this comfort zone expansion makes all the difference. Or, I should say, right now it seems as if it is the complete difference. I don't feel like someone "trying to quit" smoking or someone "waiting to be an ex-smoker"... I feel like a non-smoker.
I think the fact that I'm so actively not worrying about those situations, that I need to fill up that worry space with Chantix worries. Because I'm crazy like that!
