1 Week

Week 1 down - a lifetime to go...Not bad at all. I highly recommend quitting smoking to everyone. I saved $56.00 this week by not smoking and another $15.00 by not drinking. I am not drinking alcohol because that makes me want to smoke - two people at work are also quitting tomorrow - one is going cold turkey and another is going to use the patches. Good luck to them. It has just become too expensive to do. My cigarettes went up to $7.96 a pack! Ridiculous!!! But, it's not healthy and if they are using the tax money to fund Children's health insurance as they announced, then I suppose it is for a good cause.
The dreams aren't as vivid now, but anyone worried about Chantix because of nightmares...that wasn't my experience, knock on wood. I can breathe better and I don't have a stuffy nose anymore. No bad side effects whatsoever...Of course one of the side effects is psychosis, so watch out!!! I am hiding that one.
Have a great weekend!

so, if you save half that money and give half to a good cause (me!) we'll both be better off.

Thanks!

One of the first things I noticed when I quit was that I didn't have the little mini-coughs any more. I used to cough/clear my throat all the time.
Congrats.
