Otherwise I would play for 8 hours straight, could go on tilt, and loose my roll. However, that's a good start. Word of advice for quiting anything. The more you think about it (AA, NA) the worse it becomes of a problem. Just don't think about it until it arrises and choose not to.
That's not really how Chantix works. It works by filling in the slots in your brain where the nicotine go's. I know I've tried it. It only helped me a little. I had stopped smoking at night. You are correct though saying it makes your cigarettes taste bad. That it does. It also messes with your brain big time. I was having 6 or 7 dreams every night and recalled not only the dreams but what I was thinking in the dreams as well. It was a nightmare. There has also been more than 250 Chantix users in the past 2 years that have killed themselves or tried to kill themselves. Not to mention the the people that have flipped out and tried to hurt there loved ones on it. There is a Class action lawsuit against the makers of Chantix for over a year now. That script cost me $152.00 for a two month supply, No medical coverage will pay for the drug because it's still experimental.
