SMOKE FREE - 6 Months!

[wesfrye53]

Hang in there Jim. I didn't need to join a "Smoke-out" Back in 1975, after a routine physical (which included chest xrays back then), my doctor said a spot showed up on one of my lungs. He said he would have the radiologist check it and would call me. As I walked out of his office the pack I had in my shirt went in the trash. After a few days of waiting for the call and much, much worry and concern, the Doctor called and said, didn't you live somewhere near Pittsburgh? I said I did and he told me I had a fungus called Ohio Valley Lung disease...or something like that. Seems it was common among folks that grew up around the steel mills, etc. Well, the few days of waiting and worrying cured me!

Nope, and it hasn't grown any but still shows up when I get an xray and I have to explain what it is. Don't even know it's there.

Proud for you Jim!
I need to stop, yes im a smoker, I now have high blood pressure, severe, and i didnt even think i was old enough to get high blood pressure. The doctor gave me a prescription for Chantex, they say its a wonder drug, has anyone ever tried it?
I do want to stop, i have a new grandbaby now, and about to have another next month, if i dont stop i want live to see them hit their teenage years, im real sure of it. So if you have any advise my ears are open.

Chantex has been THE blessing for almost everyone who has used it... there are a few threads here, including the one I linked to above where folks talk about using it.

Get the Chantex Trish...

Thanks Jim....i will!

Congrats I am so happy for you all!

For me its been 3 years as of the 1st day of spring

 

[Bridge End Farm]

I quit on february 23rd 1996 so it has been 12 years now.

I had trouble and went back and forth for years, finally a girl I was dating at the time hated it and though I didn't smoke around her I decided to give that to her for her birthday present so

I figured out when I smoked the most and avoided that.
I figured out when I was the weakest at it and stay away from that too

I still struggled and shook some from the urges but I didn't smoke, so I decided to give it to God and I wasn't a believer then. I simply prayed to God if He was real and wanted to prove Himself to Me, then He would remove all the addiction and urges I was having with it. God simply delivered to put it mildly.

Now I don't like to be around it. lol I see what she meant by telling me I stink ROFL,

Hang in there Jim, Trish and others you can do it I am gona be praying for you all. It is the best thing I have ever done to my body.

Jim congrats on 6 months That is a great achievement

Congratulations to all of you who have managed to quit! I turned 40 in Feb. and started Chantix on Feb. 24 and smoked my last cig on March 5. If any of you are on the fence, please just get your Dr. to write you a prescription for this stuff. It will make the quitting process more tolerable, and the vivid dreams you will have are a nice side benefit. I still have some of the pills left, and have considered taking half of one ever now and then just to try to get those dreams back . Good luck to all of you.. Gpurs..
