Day 1-4 without Chantix (still smoke-free)!
It has been a few days since I decided to stop Chantix for various reasons. To set things straight, I know that I wouldn’t be this far into being a non-smoker without Chantix; it was a strong and exceptional drug that helped me kick the habit.
But.
The side-effects were a bit too much for me personally […]
I’ve decided to quit taking Chantix
Chantix is not a miracle drug by any means. It has sufficiently taken the urge to smoke away, but leaves behind quite a few issues that need to be looked upon by current users, Pfizer, and potential Chantix users.
First off, Chantix is a very new drug (relatively speaking) and as more and more users give […]

Happy Thanskgiving (day 13-14 of being smoke-free)!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there! I appreciate all of the advice and comments each and every one of you have taken the time to send my way.
The quit-smoking crowd, I have found, is a very proud and giving group of individuals. All of you have been very supportive and encouraging — which has gotten […]
Test: Using the FLOCK browser to update blog
Testing…
I’ve just downloaded and installed Flock — a new social browser (was tired of Internet Explorer locking up and Firefox bores me).
So far, this browser is kind of cool. A lot of potential!

Day 8-12 of being smoke-free (sort of)
This past weekend and Monday of this week have been pretty good as far as the quitting goes. I had a few drinks this past weekend with my brother (Matt), Jordan and Jon. I was pretty good for the most part, but my brother smokes heavily when he drinks. He may not realize it, but […]
Day 5-7 of being smoke-free
Not a whole lot to report regarding my quitting. I have found a few new triggers that I have adjusted to, but have found a rather annoying side-effect of Chantix: laziness.
I am not sure if it is the medication, my body fighting off the urges/nicotine/changes, or what, but I am perpetually exhausted. Any other Chantix […]
Day 2-4 of being smoke-free
This Chantix stuff works.
Day 2-4 (take 2) of being smoke-free were quite enjoyable. I had a few slight urges to smoke here and there, but nothing that made me feel uncomfortable, anxious, or antsy. I even had a few alcohol beverages (beer) on Friday night. Usually with any alcoholic drink, I am smoking like crazy. […]
You know how I know I am getting old?
I’ve been on the Internet since I was in the 6th grade: since the mid-90s. Banner advertisements back then weren’t nearly as popular, colorful or as big as they are these days. The standard 468×60 banner was most common back then (although I suppose at the low screen resolutions of those times, that was a […]
A full 24 hours! (take 2)
Today went surprisingly well. I was actually shocked when I would think about having a cigarette — thinking how odd it was that I hadn’t thought of one. It was a slightly busy day, but nothing hectic; leading me to believe the Chantix is definitely still helping quite a bit.
There were a few new triggers noticed […]
