have you quit smoking yet?

[roseypeach]

I did! Unfortunately it wasn't until this past December, December 7th actually! I did it though, and I feel so good having done it. I hate that it took me so long and I want you all to know that YOU can do it too. I smoked for 26 years and the nicotine withdrawals have been rough but the doc doubled my antidepressant so that helped a lot. I do eat a lot of tic tacs and have gained 10 pounds since I quit. Don't mistake though, I have made some diet changes.

Hi, Rosey

I am sorry to hear about your condition. I was a smoker for 20 yrs. and was able to quit

I asked God to help me and he did. Because it was a miracle for me to quit because I was a heavy smoker. I'm also have bipolar and I take my meds every day I am doing pretty well

I can just imagine how you feel but just think smoking tends to give cancer of the lungs I have lost a couple of relatives and friends from lung cancer they did not make it.

I have a family to take care of and it

Thank you for your kindness. My only hope is that it helps someone else to quit before it gets as far as this. Best wishes.

Check out Allen Carr on youtube...once you educate yourself on the nature of nicotine addiction, you will be better prepared to beat it.

I will, thank you so very much!

Hi Stormy. I haven't had very good luck with my quit. Because of my mood disorder, the Chantix had very bad side effects on me, like irritability and a very bad temper. For those who read this, please discuss Chantix with your doctor if you suffer from depression or another mood disorder.

I'm so glad to hear this, the more knowledge people have, the better their chances for quitting for good.

If it made only a difference in one life, it was worth it. :)
