How long did it take you to quit once you decided to do it? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

RedRuby · 04-26-2009, 03:15 PM

I thought about quitting for maybe a month, then it became a reality when I got the Chantix filled, and a week before I started Chantix, I cut back. Before the end of my first Chantix week, I was quit.
So from serious thought, serious decision, to serious action...about a month.
But from serious decision to actually quitting, only about 2 weeks.
You?

Very little time, I just hung around here for a couple of days and did it. I can be easily influenced by others, thank goodness!

I dont know if you mean when I really really decided to quit. Or when I decided I should and tried.
I always half assed it until this last time.

And it was just a spur of the moment decision.
I quit the exact moment I decided to stop for real.

Not by choice at first.

If it wasnt for the tax increase and me not havin enough money to buy that pack I was goin to buy. I wouldnt have even tried.

Well I decided to quit about 2 and a half years ago and I have now been quit 3 weeks.

I have had a few practice quits in that time though

Sorry, I posted in the wrong spot. I thought this was about drugs, not cigarettes. I never smoked a cigarette in my life.
