      I love to garden. I am a 5 year, stage 3, ovarian cancer survivor. I have a wonderful husband who cares about me. I am quitting for me, for him and for us. I smoked for 22 years about a pack per day.

      The few drags was the experiment to see if what others were saying about it takes horrible if you ever try it again. I am still not hooked though. The cravings are still there from time to time but the Chantix and deep breathing for me works wonders!! One week, four days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 43 seconds. 168 cigarettes not smoked, saving $29.55. Life saved: 14 hours, 0 minutes.

    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I am 40 years old and have been smoking since I was about 15. I am a 5 year, stage 3 ovarian cancer survivor and MUST quit. I loathe my smoking habit. I despise myself as a smoker. I love and accept everything about myself except for this trait. I just had my last cigarette and am going "cold-turkey"....with my chantix!

      Treatments

      Chantix Somewhat Helpful
      Not only did I dislike cigarettes on this, but I lost my taste for all the foods I enjoyed. I stopped this treatment because of that.
    • Close Lung Cancer
