My Start with Chantix!

Monday, November 19, 2007


Ok I have decided just do it do it or die is my motto..

I have been having problems with my blood & platelet level. For those who don't know your platelets are what causes your blood to clot.

FACT:
Smoking Cigarette's raises your platelet level.

Besides this I have been wanting to quit smoking for years but too weak and no will-power has lead me to not stopping.

I have no choice if I do not get my body under control I can have a stroke.
My first step besides what the doctors are trying to do to give myself better health is to just stop smoking my life away.

So today i started the Chantix program.. I hope it works! I know I still have to put my own will power into it and really want to... Well I do really want to!

So I will blog my ups and downs of the quit and keep you informed on how things are going for me.


Send me some positive energy people I know I will defently need it!


xoxo

Congratulations on quitting. I have been on Chantix Since Nov 1 and have been quit entirely since November 11, 2007. Keep strong! After reading this blog I realzed that I never even thought about getting a stroke from smoking...I usually think about the big C as in cancer. I got a lot of compliments about my skin looking marvalous yesterday and I finally had my first really vivid Chantix dream. I look forward to seeing your progression.
Peace,D
