I had an appointment with my doctor today to talk to him about quitting smoking. I'm just like a commercial! We had a nice chat and I explained my concerns about my pre-existing anxiety making the withdrawal worse. Apparently, I'm not that crazy for thinking that. He wrote me a prescription (not for Chantix, that stuff scares the crap out of me) that I need to take for 2 weeks before I stop smoking completely. He told me to taper off and let the meds build up in my system. It's still not going to be easy, but supposedly I won't feel like I'm having a nervous breakdown. So that's good.
You can rock this. I smoked for 15 years, and I quit with the patch. Gum, exercising, and QuitNet.com are the things that really saved my ass. As cheesy as it is, when you get a craving, just remember to breath, think positive thoughts and let it pass. I'm here for ya! xoxox
