Hi Everyone, OK day 2.. :) 
 I find morning coffee & checking e-mail to be a "little trigger" umm maybe habit,  I remember it takes 21 days to break a habit.  Last night wasn't too bad.  My husband is on board with this ( he has Never smoked) he did quit drinking 6 years ago.  Said he decided to quit, and that was it............ ok.. glad that worked for him .  He asks me at least 20 times a week when am I going to quit again.  My replies have ranged to .. someday, never and when I'm ready.
He said are you going cold turkey? so i explained my plan. Told him I felt kind of spacey last time on the Chantix, and he said well some of that could be just getting rid of nicotine and toxins. 
My daughter & husband came by yesterday.  Told them  I quit, they said they have been thinking about it, Prices going up, health etc. Said they should quit and we could all do it together... so I will see how they are doing. 
 
 I used a Committ lozenger, one lasted me All day.. 
 
 Ok off to take a little walk outside, it is a beautiful sunny day.

Hi Everyone.  I can't tell you how happy I am to see so many of you still here.  And wow look at all the newbies.
 
 I wasn't going to use Chantix, but after a couple "false" starts. I have decided to use it for the first month. Last time the first month was ok on it, I started having side effects after that. I have a 2 week supply. So anything to help get thru the first 2 weeks. I will probably do 1/2 tablet 2 times a day.. that seems to be a better dose for me.
 
 We have a trip planned the end of the month, The hotel and most places we are staying are Smoke Free. I hate trying to run around in airports or going around a corner, to smoke.  I know, I never liked walking into a room and smelling dead cigarette smoke.  I will be having dental work done on this trip also.
 
I went out and cleaned the inside of my car and sprayed the inside.  I have plenty to keep me busy, I have started Spring Cleaning and have a couple crochet projects to do.
 
Thanks Everyone  for all your support in the past, I m looking forward to meeting the new members and re-connecting with everyone.
 
Bonnie
