Smoking
Monday, November 12, 2012 by mrs_starkers | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well today is the day I have made my decision to quit smoking after being told I am less than 15% away from having emphysema and I am only 45 I have way too much too live for I want to see all my grandchildren grow up to be adults get married and have their family's I have the gum and lozenges and I am off to the Doctor's on Thursday to get a script for chanpix as well . I am going in with all guns blazing so to speak no pun intended I hope I can do it I know I have talked myself into it that much that I feel I can do it in my mind I don't want to smoke anymore that is how much I have talked myself in to it I am ready to do this . and being how Mark hasn't smoked for 3 years its more support for me as well as going to Kambu medical centre and using their program kicking butts . I look at it this way if Mark can do it I can too

did you get Chantix? I've been wondering how that works for folks, as I've tried everything except acupuncture with not much success.

champix I am using it may be one of the same thing and its working fine for me, its been 2 weeks today since my last smoke and I feel great I have had a few times where I thought a smoke would go down nice, then I have the nicorette gum and while I am having that I look at a Quitline card that I have on my table/ desk and the craving goes away. all I can say it's working for me but you need the will power to do it

I quit smoking Feb. 23rd, 1984, after smoking 2-3 packs/day for 25 years. I went through hypnosis and had my last cigarette that day. After almost 30 years, my mouth still produces excess saliva when I think about smoking.
Quitting smoking has been one of my proudest accomplishments in life.

Okay, so I have ceated a new incentive... or should I say, I made a new house rule that should be helpful!
As of last Friday this house has been a 100% smoke-free zone... and will be strictly enforced by a swift kick up the backside for defaulters.
Upstairs [inside] has always a been non-smoking area anyway... now so is downstairs, the front and back verandahs upstairs.
Hehe, that means my sister and other family smokers will have to go right outside now... well away from the exits/entrances.
10 + metres should do it.
It'll be 3 years for me on January 15 2013... and I won't be celebrating the anniversary with a cigar.
