Oddly Enough...
...I was doing a blogsearch and came across a blog similar to mine but for the drug Chantix. Same name and everything (though, I guess "My _______ Experience" isn't so creative, huh?). I believe this person is on Day 46 of the drug. If you're interested, I have included a link to it. Just click the link that says: Same Idea, Different Drug.

Whataya mean not so creative? ;-) Good luck with the Zyban. I did it years ago and was successful for quite a while. Then some personal disaster came along and I went back to my old security blanket that was cigarettes and got hooked again. Don't repeat my mistake.
Wishing you the best of luck by whatever means leads to smoke-free. For me, it was the Chantix, and I'm 100+ days quit but still blogging about it anyway ;)
Looks like there's another Chris on here!
Anyway, today was supposed to be my quit day, I woke up and didn't want a cigarette. But I was expecting a phone call at 10am (which was a phone interview) and got so anxious about not being able to talk to this journalist on the phone without a cigarette that I went out and bought 10. Then I went out and bought another 40. I am so upset with myself. And now I'm thinking things like I won't be able to do this without a cigarette and I won't be able to do that without a cigarette ...
I don't know whether to stop the Zyban and give up trying to give up ... I really hope that you've made it through your day without a cigarette, might give me some hope.
I was so determined to stop my life being controlled by this addiction.

Chris (U.S.) - Haha, I didn't mean to insult you and your creativity! It's just funny about the similar/identical names :) Do you feel the Chantix is working out better for you than the Wellbutrin had?
Maggie - 100+ days!?! Good for you! That seems like a mountain to climb for me when I have been struggling so much that last few hours on my first legitimate Day 1.
Chris (U.K) - They sell cigarettes by the 10 in London? I've only ever saw packs of 20! I am so sorry about your struggles today. It's hard. As I write this, I am considering smoking but the thought of actually doing it scares me. But I want to in a way I am unable to describe.
I figure, if it's so hard, why start over and force a second Day 1 by smoking? We'll see how long my resolve holds up though.
Even though you bought those 40 cigarettes, you don't have to smoke them. Right?
I hope the rest of your day and your Friday go much better. I think we all have it in us to quit. It's just hard as hell and seemingly easier not to.
