Time To Quit...

...smoking that is. I am going to give it another shot in a couple of weeks or so. My doctor gave me a prescription for something called Chantix that is supposed to be pretty good. I will go pick it up Monday or Tuesday if the money is in my flex account by then. We have a fairly large chunk of change go into a medical flex account out of the wife's paycheck each month and they made sure to take it out of her check 20 days ago but our county didn't bother to send them their check until last week which means that any of the employees with flex accounts can't use it to see the doctor or purchase medicine or supplies. I'm not too particularly happy about that. My cholesterol medicine and ulcer medicine are a nice chunk of change each month but the addition of the Chantix brings it up to about $300.

The wife quit smoking a couple of years ago and I have tried several times but figured I was about ready to give it a shot. The biggest part of it has been deciding whether I really want to or not.

Heck, the next thing you know I'll be looking at fitness equipment...

Well, good luck. But it is possible to quite friend. I was a heavy smoker since teen. But an incident make decide to quit. My best friend also a heavy smoker, got throat cancer and died a horrible death. He suffered a great deal before his death. It was a painful experience, both emotionally and physically. I call it a day and since I did not look back...Persevere friend.

Hey Richard! Good luck to you. You will do it, if you are ready to. Check out my blog for some good info about Chantix and some other tips to help you out. Take care I will stay in touch! See Ya, emctara57, smoke free 12 days! http://scrappingal.wordpress.com/

if that prescription doesnt work out, try smoking a cigarette really fast and then drink like a quart or so of milk. also try soaking some of yer cigarettes in milk and then letting them dry. i was able to use this method for people i used to teach and help try and quit smoking, and for some of them it worked. it made them sick after they smoked and they had a lot less desire to smoke.
