Hi Jango and welcome to this site. I have smoked for way long time. Last week I started the chantix and today I am down to 4 cigs a day. I was smoking almost 3 packs! It isnt easy but the chantix really has been working for me. It just takes away the urge in the brain. I have the habit of reaching for them still but even that is going away. I have tried other ways but this one is by far the best. My best friend smoked as long as me and he has been smoke free for months on the chantix. Anyways thats my two cents and I will stick to it. Best of luck and let us know how it goes, Bruce

I was a long time smoker and tried several times to quit. The patch and then hypnotherapy is what finally did it. I initially got very sleepy without the nicotine (nicotine is a stimulant) and the anxiety I felt was the withdrawal nervousness but when that was over with my anxiety in general decreased significantly. I was a much calmer person without the nicotine. Not that I was anxiety free by any means but I could tell after quitting that a lot of my anxiety was chemically induced by the nicotine.
