So I'm in this meeting this morning and the conversation turns to smoking. The lady at the head of the table says she quit for over 14yrs. I then had to chime in and say how I'm on week two and doing great!! The a voice from the other end of the table yells out good for you hope your not taking "Chantix".... WHAT! That's exactly what I'm taking.. What do you mean? So she tells me about this article she just read in People Mag. I run out to buy a copy to see for myself what the problem was. Interesting article, but I must say I still believe strongly in the drug. I've not once had the urge to pick up a cigg. I can tolerate people smoking around me and I can enjoy myself at a bar without giving in.

My Dr. prescribed the drug to me when I told him I've been trying with a good mind set to quit. Well, 3weeks and 120$ later I'm already saving money and feel 10x's healthier.

Your suppose to start taking the pills 1 week before you want to quit, in the meantime you can continue to smoke. After the first week you switch to another pill (higher dose) and stop smoking, just like that. The pill is suppose to trigger your brain and stop the urges you would normally have to smoke.

The only bad new was that it has side effects (what drug doesn't). Nausea and the wierdest one yet, but true, is that it gives you uncontrolable fucked up dreams. Real to the point you, I, have woke up in the middle of the night in a sweat. This doesn't happen every night but I do remember one particluar dream that was so real I felt it.

To put it quickly there was a Fed Ex plane going down like a balloon letting go of its air. Zipping around above me as I was running through a campus of some sort, all the while looking up watching this plane start to nose dive at me, the at the last minute soared up and away into the distance to go down in a tremendous blazing boom behind one of the buildings around us. Masses of people running for saftey as I felt the heat from the explosion that had a rippling effect on the ground as the tremmers followed me while I ran, up stairs to my room (it's a dream) with one of my friends that just appeared.

The point is the shit fucks with your brain, no doubt, but I can't explain this mans problems. I've drank on it, I've even smoked some herbs. Nothing> at least not to my knowledge, did I beat my girl, mutilate myself with a knife, or anything to that nature. So maybe its not for everyone but you should know this by the time you up your dose.

If your looking to quit, I truly recommend Chantix. The fact is these people who are fucking themselves and other up, are people with deep inner problems that shouldn't be taking anything that's going to trigger the violent person inside. Guess that means I'm just a good guy after all!!

See you fuckers on the other side....
