Hey Searcher, I'm like you, tried quitting many times, got up to a few months then slipped. Finally got a prescription for Chantix. Expensive, but worth it. April 2019 will be my 10 year anniversary of quitting after smoking for 37 years straight. After almost 9.5 years withoutvsmoking, I can truly say I don't miss it. Yeah put on almost 50 lbs, but I'll gladly trade the weight for the smoking.
