Hello, theresann. 1st day here, not first day attempting to stop smoking. I have failed 4x in my 20+ years of smoking. I turned 50 in Oct. I look in the mirror at the wrinkles around my mouth and am so let down with myself, I get bronchitis easy. I am a nurse. I am a Mommy. I do not like how i feel physically or mentally anymore from smoking. I use to enjoy it. It was an escape and my "time" but now it feels more like a crutch and a burden and a destroyer.
I am on Chantix. (I used it before, it worked very well) did not smoke for over a year. I do not want to gain weight though and am extrememly fearful of this. Weight gain was a big excuse for putting off smoking. But I have had bronchitis since last of Oct 2016 and because of my smoking, my body just is not healing well. Steroids, antibiotics, inhalers, all too familiar. I want to stop more than I ever have wanted to before but I am so reliant on the "calm" i get from it. I need help, I can not do this alone. So here I am, asking......
Thank you.
