      From forerica November 15

      Hi Lankster- sorry your not enjoying the holidays. I'm not that crazy about them either. Too many expectations and too little family here in AZ - I keep a pretty low profile w/my girls and just 'get by'. I hope your enjoying some fall weather in New England. It finally cooled off here and I'm loving that!!! Take it easy girl and just enjoy the moment.

    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I smoked for 38 years and it was taking it's toll. I could not walk up 5 steps without feeling winded. My hubby had quit and was a constant nag. I had been thinking of quitting for months but had no idea how. I discussed the matter with my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Chantix. Just having that piece of paper was all it took. I went cold turkey 3 days later and I tossed the script after 6 mos.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      Tough only at first. I knew I could stop smoking after 2 weeks of staying quit.
