The not smoking isn’t the problem. I think it might be the Chantix which is keeping me from sleeping which is getting me sick. Last Friday I woke up feeling kind of blah. When I heard there was a sig-alert in the Sepulveda pass I decided that was God telling me to stay home. I [...]

That will be the number of smoke free days about 10pm tonight. This has been much easier than I thought it would be. Today there was one short crave that lasted about 10 seconds. As I mentioned in a comment I’m even starting to forget my pills. Since I’m writing this around 7:30pm I think [...]

I’m quitting! Smoking that is. I figure it’s time since I’m 53 and my health isn’t getting any better. I’ve been thinking about it for several months now. I really started thinking hard when after my last cold went away my cough didn’t. I had thought about doing it over the holidays but realized that’s [...]
