Chantix - I'm on my 8th day and haven't picked a quit date. I don't want to pick a quit date because that

Question

stresses me out, so I thought I'll just take this drug and see if one day I realize I'm not smoking anymore. Should I feel bad about doing it that way? It is an amazing drug. I find myself "forgetting" to smoke. Hours and hours will go by and I'll be like "wow, haven't had a smoke, still don't feel like it." So my question is: should I feel bad that I haven't picked an actual quit date and don't plan on doing so?

Thanks to ALL who answered my questions. They were all great answers and I enjoyed reading them all.!

Answer 1

Do not feel bad! One thing that I learned when I was quitting smoking was that nothing works for everyone. Some really good suggestions just did not work for me while others did. If picking a quit date causes you stress - don't do it! Just keep on forgetting to smoke. There are many paths to the top of the mountain, the important thing is to get there! Whatever gets you there is the right way...for you!

Answer 4

if you forget to smoke, then get rid of any cigarettes remaining, so even if you eventually remember they won't be around to tempt you. Then when you havent' smoked for three days, you can say you passed your quit date without having to have set it.
