Yippee! I've been smoking for 40 years and tried to quit more times than I can remember. Nothing worked until I tried Chantix, at the recommendation of one of our BOC brothers. It's been 8 weeks now and I don't even have a craving for a smoke. Now my wife is on Chantix. I hope it works as well for her as it did for me. I feel like I graduated last night. I had a couple glasses of wine and didn't want a smoke with them. That's the first time in my life I've had a drink without a smoke. If anyone is interested in quitting, try this stuff. If you are a veteran, you can get it for free at the V.A. Hosp.

You go, Billie! and next time, invite me over and i'll bring a nice bottle of chardonnay or merlot...or heck, whatever you prefer, and we'll talk about how dumb we used to be for smoking in the first place:big_smile:

Billie congrats on your accomplishments to date.

I been smoke free for 7 years now. Only smoked half dozen years or so. Feels good to save money that would otherwise go up in smoke eh? Just now I wonder where that money is! :smile2:

A friend of mine called me yesterday to remind me it was his one year anniversary of quiting smoking after 45 years! Also one year since he had a couple of stents put in his chest which was his motivator. Said it was best thing he'd ever done for himself and his non-smoking wife. I quit years ago after watching my favorite uncle die in the hospital wasting away from a big strapping guy to nothing.

They claim it's tougher than quiting heroin. Good job and don't fall off the wagon!

Sounds good Phil. I got a couple bottles of Merlot I think you'd like. We could sit and talk about religion and politics while we wait for the catfish to bite and laugh about how long it took us to quit! LOL
