I say this bc I broke down and bought another pack of cigs today. I DON’t WANT TO SMOKE. I need to stop! I don’t want to smell like smoke I don’t want to taste smoke I don’t anything to do with smoking. But my willpower just isn’t there.
I’m going to try so hard. I’ve GOT to quit!

Hi!
Almost everyone I know smokes in order to try to relax, to counter their anxiety. I often suggest they pursue treatment for their anxiety as they work on quitting smoking.
I think your idea makes sense. i just want to mention the fact that regular use of klonopin might worsen depression or depressive tendencies. You'll want to keep an eye on this.
You mention 90 days of klonopin. You may or may not need a full 90 days.
I personally think it healthier to use klonopin than to be addicted to smoking.
It is possible you might pickup some additional anxiety management skills along the way, too.
I suggest running this by y our pdoc.
Oh! Is there any drug testing with your job?
Best wishes as you work on quitting smoking!
