OT: My 2 week anniversary!!

[Old Fashion PB and J]

Today is 2 weeks for me since I quit smoking. I used chantix, and am still using chantix but only for another 2 weeks. Quitting was not easy at all, but now I hope to live a bit longer and enjoy my "golden years" with my family. Just wanted to share with everyone on the forum, hopefully it helps someone else make the decision to quit.

Good job! I've been down that road before many times. Smoking is very enjoyable for a smoker so it's hard to imagine not smoking...but it's a much healthier way to live!!!

Chantix is a great medication for quiting IMO. Using the nicotine gum and patches just delays the inevitable.

 

Lovinthesurfer and I used E-cigs to quit. She was trying to get Chantix from her doctor but her cardiologist wouldn't approve it.

Congrats, keep it going!

Nobody likes a quitter, Pat.

Congrats Pat. I quit over 15 years ago and never looked back.

[Designer Toast]

I quit twelve or so years ago. Best thing I ever did. If you've reached two weeks, your odds of success are highly probable. (thumbs u

Congrats, Pat! Now you'll have more money to spend on funny books.

Pat, you'll be surprised by a number of things:

 

1. The amount of money!

2. The health benefits: non-smokers generally recover from common illnesses and surgeries much faster. And you have a little one now--no worries in keeping up with their running around when they get old!

3. You'll live longer--always a winner!

 

Way to go man. You're making a good decision here and giving your family a real gift.

Congrats! I've been smoke free for so long now that I don't remember when I quit (it's been several years though). However, it took me three tries to get it right. I quit for a year each of the first two times before lapsing back....so once you quit, DON'T GO BACK!

Congtatulations! When the going gets tough, just remember those reasons of why you're quitting.

Congratulations!

 

My father smoked everyday since he was 14 and regrets he didn't stop sooner. He has severe Emphysema now in his 60's.
