It is amazing to think how long it has been since I have had a cigarette after smoking for 42 years. I am proud of myself for making it for 9 months without a cigarette. It is like receiving a new life. I still have a hard time around people who smoke certain strong smelling brands of cigarettes. I can not stand the smell. Till I quit, I never realized how bad I must have smelled to a lot of people who did not smoke.

I thank God for Chantix working for me and being alive. I could have never made it without taking that prescription and having a very low side effect for the few days. Being so sick for 6 weeks and not being able to catch my breath those two nights in my sleep. Waking to struggling to get my breath was very scary. Life is too precious to die not being able to breath. I hope and pray if you are a smoker and reading this, please check out Chantix and contact your local health department for a stop smoking program or respiratory centers for smoking cessation programs, you will be glad you made the right decision. I am glad I did! This is a huge milestone in my life.
