Hug
I see you haven't been on since Aug 1st. Today is the 20th. It's also my day 1 in my quit. I've been thinking of you, and I hope everything is OK! I know you're busy with your gardens this time of year. I hope you husband has stopped grumbling about his pain so much. Neal used to do that so much, before his bone fragment miraculously migrated out of his spine. Now, he's like a new man!! Praise the Lord!!! Love you and miss you, Julia

Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery
I smoked for 38 years and it was taking it's toll. I could not walk up 5 steps without feeling winded. My hubby had quit and was a constant nag. I had been thinking of quitting for months but had no idea how. I discussed the matter with my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Chantix. Just having that piece of paper was all it took. I went cold turkey 3 days later and I tossed the script after 6 mos.
Treatments
