I am new again this week, but not to this group. Few times tried to quit. Chantix first time and was 6 months quit. Tried patches and left Chantix  next and didn’t last long. Anyways recently I had some medical issues. Chest was killing me. Stopped smoking ten days ago cold turkey, as it just hurt too bad. Had an endoscopy. Showed needing my esophagus stretched and also an ulcer. Had to cut coffee, any acid or spicy foods and drinks, aspirin. EVERYTHING! I also have rebound headaches, so the aspirin killed me also. However, it turns out that not smoking meant less headaches! Anyways I am seeing how quitting has helped the headache/aspirin ... overall better for health. I also would hate to deal with all of this withdrawal again.  So here I am on day 9. I don’t want to jinx it, but this just may be it Have a great night!
