I Quit

I'm sure you can do it, too! Just curious if you’re getting any pharmaceutical help like Chantrix, use of the transdermal patches or even Zyban? I did great with the later two for cigarettes pre-op but took up cigars a couple years out. And I know better. UGH! Keep up the good work and good luck! Rock

GOOD FOR YOU!  You can do it!  I quit 4 months, 8 days ago and I feel fantastic.  I am scheduled for surgery June 17th!  LapBand.  I told myself I had to quit and be 4+ months out b4 surgery. 

You can do it!  I know, because I tried for many years and finally did it!  I am 4 months and 8 days done!  I used Chantix, but not the whole dose - took only the evening dose for 28 days.  Hang in there and YOU CAN DO IT! 

So far so good.  I am using the nicotine patches. They worked well for me in the past.  This is day 3 and so far it hasn't been too bad.  I am not sure if it's psychological, but my lungs feel better already.  I just want to feel healthy again.  It's been so many years of feeling like crap.  This is the beginning of a new and improved ME
