I've been smoking at least a pack a day since I was 15 years old. Here we are 15 years later and I'm now experiencing some health issues related to smoking, which lead me to decide it was time to "quit smoking" I knew based on previous experience I couldn't do it on my own...well I could do it, but it wouldn't be fair to the people around me.

I decided to try Champix. What a wonderful medication. Day #5 today for me not smoking and was up early and in a great mood and no cravings whatsoever. From time to time a trigger might set off a craving, however, they are gone in no time. Had one little hissy-fit on day #3 of the quit, where I broke down in tears for no reason, then lied down for a 2 hour nap. When I awoke, I was fine and had some dinner.

My spouse and my family are very proud of me and so am I! As my aunt also said "my lungs will thank me!"
