Okay, so they come out with this "newer" way to help you quit smoking...Chantix. Well, hubby and I went to the Dr and we both asked for it...his mother passed from throat cancer, and 4 generations in a row in my fam have all passed from lung cancer....so, obviously I want to quit smoking.
I have tried literally everything they have had out there with the exception of: accupuncture (my Dr. doesn't think it would work for me), hypnotism, and Chantix. Other than those, I have tried the gum, meds, cutting down, cold turkey, etc......NONE have worked.
So, anyway, we talked to our Dr about the Chantix and she says hubby can go on it, but I cannot at this time because of other meds I am on from other Doctors. So, I have the other Doctors call my Dr. to see if we can get around it somehow, someway....including taking me off of one or more of my meds for the time being. I have known about 30 people that have been able to quit using Chantix, well, I guess it would be 29, it didn't work with 1 of them. So, I was looking forward to something that would help me.
Okay, hubby has it, but doesn't want to start it until I speak to my other Doctors to see which meds it will affect. Maybe there will be a way I can still do it once I speak with them. I sure hope so. I really, really, really, really WANT, NEED, HAVE TO quit!!
I haven't been able to do it on my own. I can't stand the way it smells on EVERYTHING, can't stand smoke in my face, can't stand the taste, etc....so, why can't I quit on my own?
Well, hopefully, within the next few weeks, I will have this worked out!! We have NO income coming in right now and also can't afford it, so, there are SO many reasons to quit, the main one is that I WANT TO!
So, what to do now??????? I wish that meds weren't so difficult!!
