MoFM went for her annual checkup today and asked her doc for Chantix....for both of us. Actually, she told her doc i kept 'misplacing' the prescriptions my doc gave me, so he offered to write me one, too. GREAT!! So...we will get the 'scripts' filled together, and end the battle with the cigs! We plan to share any nightmares we have and any other weird symptoms. This will be good. Smoking is such a stupid, stupid crutch, but certainly not an easy one to get past.
What will it be like not to have the NEED to run out of the building every 2 hours or so at work? What will it be like to have a car that doesn't smell like an ashtray? What will my clothes do without the stench of smoke? My balcony will even smell like the Jasmine growing on it instead of lingering stale smoke. Wow. Why didn't I think of this before.....like 30 years ago? I did. I quit in 1990 for a full year. Gained 40 pounds, which made it difficult to play soccer....at least I convinced myself the weight made it more difficult to run than the smoking! What caused me to pick it up again? I was still married to the smoking Gorton who had set his smoke down in an ashtray, and I picked that sucker up like I'd never quit. Unbelievable. That's all it took for me to somehow justify starting again. DUMB!!
Anyway, I will keep a running account of how it's going. Stay tuned.

yup. we're gonna do it this time. :)
Congrats, to you and MoFM, on deciding to take a huge step such as this. As it is the hardest "crutch" to quit..so I've heard. My crutch is Pepsi..which is not at all comparable to yours..however in the spirit of giving things up. I'm going to give up my beloved Pepsi. Please do keep us informed on your progress...I'm eager to learn of your results!
harmony, you're the greatest. :)
