Sorry I haven't posted my progress, but I have been keeping busy to avoid smoking. I finally slept through the night for the first time since I quit, and my concentration is getting better. Each day gets easier and easier. OH another bonus: My blood pressure went down, I was pleasantly surprised about that little event. I monitor my blood pressure a few times a week and when I took it yesterday it was actually normal, not high!!! My dr. just raised my blood pressure medication and it was not working so this is a great sign. My husband has been really cranky, I hope today gets better for him. he is about a day behind me, so today there should be improvement.

Hi and congrats, I'm on day16 and chantix has made this unbelievable easier. I went to the eye Dr. 3-3-09 and the nurse said my blood presure was way high 180 over 120. She asked what's up with your presure? I know noutghing about what is good or bad but I had already set my Quit day, she wanted to make a Doctors appt. that second. Anyway she scared me and I had just smoke one before I went in their office. I had it check before I left the office and went back the next morning to check it again. It was lower 140 over 110 something like that but before I go to a dr. I wanted to be smoke free to see if is lower, sorry so long, What should it be?Paul
