Smoke Free?

The hubs has decided that it's finally time to bite the bullet and kick his nicotine habit to the curb. He's tried quitting cold turkey before. He's used the Nicotrol smokeless wanna-be cigarette things before. I don't think he's used the patch nor has he chewed the gum, but this time he's bound & determined to quite...with some help.

I picked up his prescription for Chantix yesterday and today is Day 1. He said the pill makes him feel kinda funny. But, I suppose it's no different than any other drug you introduce to your body -- it makes you feel kinda kooky just because it's not something you're used to. He set his quit date for Wednesday, May 27th...it is by that day that he is supposed to stop smoking completely. He'll still be taking Chantix, but hopefully we won't have to refill the prescription because it's a nice chunk of change. Of course, the cost of the prescription every month is certainly cheaper than cartons of cigarettes each week, but he's hoping that he will have great success.

This is new territory for us. He's always been a smoker for as long as I've known him. And, trust me, I've known him for a LONG time.
