April 9th 2007
That is the day I'm setting forth to start on Chantix and begin the long and probably difficult journey of quitting smoking for good.
Fairly recently a good friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer and was given anywhere from a month to a year. His isn't lung cancer or really anything related to smoking, but it gave me a scare. So I pondered and pondered on the idea of quitting, but never really got around to it.
As the months have passed, the thoughts have crossed my mind and then a friend of mine on our fire department started taking the Chantix pill and basically touted it as a miracle drug. No to little cravings. Smoking started to taste like shit and he didn't even enjoy being around smoking. I then hear from a fellow business person who went on it and the same result.
So for about a month I thought about it and thought about it. Well, as of today Tuesday March 27th, 2007 I called the Doctor and my prescription is waiting for me at the pharmacy. On April 9th I will begin taking the drug and try my damndest to quit.
This blog is here for me to vent, get my feelings out and who knows, even throw in some words of inspiration for those who have stumbled across my blog.
