I ended up not following through with this quit date mentioned below, but I am happy to report now that I have been smoke free since August 9th 2014, so I have been officially a non-smoker for almost 1.5 yrs!!!! Thanks to all for words of encouragement. I never want to go back 🙂
p.s. I took chantix for 6 weeks and this helped me quit, although mild side effects (nausea, bad dreams, severe mood swings) were a little tough it was worth it!!
