Hi all!
I have been smoking since I was 18yrs old.
I'm only 31.
I smoked about a pack every three days.
I started chantix 8-3-07 and I was smoke free 08/06/07.
I knew I wanted to quit.
For several reasons.
The one thing that hit me is when my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia at age 10 in june of this year.
I know my cigs didn't cause the disease but it sure will not help her in the long run.
Her best friend asked her this.
"Do you think your moms cigerette smoking gave you cancer?
When my daughter told me this I was in tears.
It is amazing how your kids can change your life.
I was also drinking several glasses of wine to unwind at night.
I don't want any of it anymore.
I waisted alot of time being addicted to negative things primarily because I had noone and nothing else to lean on when life throws me drama.
It has only been a few days and it's not easy.
This has to be a life change and not a temporary fix!
The oral fixtation thing is a trip!
I keep peppermints and gum.
If crackhead can quit so can we!
