We all have a calling to serve and smoking does get in the way. Since I quit smoking I feel so much better when I witness to others.

I started smoking 16 years ago and now I’m 45 and smoke almost 2 packs a day, it’s just so fun and amazing but it’s a killer so I have to quit because I want to be healthy for me and for my 11 year old beautiful daughter, she is my life, I also have a 21 year old son who is amazing and smart and has such a good heart. My mom, dad, brother, sister and uncle all smoke and we live together and smoke outside like it’s a party. I hate it, smoking makes my clothes smell my body smell and I’m sick of it. My mom is 62 years old and has been smoking for 35 years almost 2 packs a day, for the past 3 years she has had a cough and past 2 months her cough is very bad to where she can’t sleep or even hold a conversation because to busy coughing. so about 3 weeks ago I dragged her to the doctor office and after some tests doctor said she has early stage emphezema, I’m very sad about it so I talked her into starting Chantix with me and she agreed. So she started first about three weeks ago and I started two weeks ago but she was very sleepy and always nausea and today she told me she can’t take Chantix anymore. She is only smoking about 5 cigerrets a day now and was planning to quit completely by this Monday but I’m very sad that she is stopping Chantix because I love her so much and don’t want her to smoke. I decided I am sticking with my Chantix and I’m going to quit smoking and be a good role model for my mom and my kids, but I have to say it’s hard and I love reading stories on here. Wish me luck and good luck to all of you
Well I'm on day 5, and holding strong. I only had one time where I was really tempted so far. The Nicorette lozengers have worked well for me. I WAS a binge smoker. Did all of my smoking in the car to and from work. Trying to remember to thank God for my blessings each day.
