Hey Alan

How you doing with quitting?

He may pack on a few lbs eating little kiddlins but he's at one a day I thought. :clap:

But really Alan, how is it going?

Truly, it's going extremely well. Between the Chantix, the prayer, and the accountability, it's awesome.

The first week of the meds you smoke "Regular", but by the end of that first week, I was already down from 1.5 packs of Red a day, down to .5 packs of ultra lights a day without really noticing. (Jeep speak: I went from running Matrix all day every day, to running Castle Hot Springs Road once a month and didn't care)

That being said, I'm still puffing on one smoke through the day, but I'm only two weeks into it. Not moody. Not really missing it. Not really spazzing out or obsessing. I have to give it to prayer. Teh Chantix blocks the "pleasure" parts of the nictorine from making it to my brain, so I don't get enjoyment (chemically) out of it. I'm consciously breaking the habit times (smoking in the car, smoking on the phone, smoking when I wake up, smoking right before bed, smoking every time I took a phone call, etc...)

So, I'm really happy and doing well. Seriously, praise God.
