Today I begin my journey into quitting smoking.  I have smoked since my sophomore year in high school (about 20 years now). I quit once before for about three years...but picked the habit up again while under some stress two years ago.  I am ready to be smoke free.  I picked up a Rx for CHANTIX and I am hoping it will take the edge off my cravings and desire for a cigarette.  I just took my first pill.  The goal in taking this medication is to set a quit date one week after starting the med.  So, in seven days I will toss out the smokes.  I plan to document my progress here.

It is 9 AM on Wednesday...I will sign on each night and list the number o cigarettes I have smoked during the day...hopefully, the amount will gradually decrease and in a week I will be smoke free!
