This has been a wonderful project for myself to stop smoking, and the responses from all of you confirm my suspicions that Chantix is a wonderful drug to stop with.

With all the concern that people have about alcohol and Chantix, I had no such adverse reactions and trust me I did use it as a crutch a few times when emotional. One thing you do not want to do is trade compensation measures, aka trading tobacco for alcohol.

I’m sure most level headed people will agree with me here on my next statement. If you do drink alcohol while on Chantix, do it lightly and make sure you are in a good mood and plan to stay that way. I insist that you sit down, watch a movie and make sure you have enough material to have a good time.

You’ll find yourself in a weird place in a year of not smoking, all the lost time you didn’t realize you had all along. Myself and free time is good and I even went back to school and am getting an Associate’s Degree to start with. I could almost pay for school with the savings alone.
