Day #2 the Chantix Way!

Ahh today I have taken pill #2 Yes for now I am still smoking -
The program works like this:

Week 1:
The first 3 days you take 1 pill the other 4 days you take 1 Pill in the morning 1 Pill at night.During this week you keep smoking, and set your quit date for the second week.

Week 2: Take 1 Pill in the morning 1 Pill at night - NO smoking.

Week 3-? you take them the same way you do week 2 until you are finished with the program.

You have a year suscription to their quit program that has live support to help you with your quit. Chantix also has a website that you can log into that helps with your quit.

Even with this just being the second day since I have started Chantix (varenicline) I notice a difference, I really do not have the desire to smoke nearly as much as I was one day ago.

You maybe have heard rumors of people having nacious side effects from Chantix I suppose people sometimes do. I haven't had any type of side effects yet.

The directions read "take with plently of water" however the woman that told me about these pils told me she takes hers with her morning coffee and she never gets sick.. however she told me her sister and best friend both take them with big glasses of water and both get nacious from them.

I probably will keep a day to day post of my progress with my quit and Chantix =-)

My Start with Chantix!

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!
