Hi - I am starting Chantix today.  My quit date is July 27th.  I'm nervous and excited.  I hope I don't have bad side effects from it!  I will be starting with a lower dose.  My doctor has referred my to a physician's assistant with experience with mental health issues, and she will start councelling me next week.  I have done a lot of reading about quitting, but will keep reading and learning about my addiction.  

I want to make this quit my last!

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
