I quit smoking 5 days ago and with the help of Chantix it is going great. I have smoked for 33 years, my mom is dying of lung cancer – I had to quit. I have a 6 year old daughter and a grandbaby on the way . I am eating lots of carrots.

Thank you Tabatha for you very inspiring story. I guess the battle to quit smoking is different for all people, but it seems that you’ve won quite easily. I think a lot of people would have fallen in if they had went to the restaurant like you did.

Well done!

I have been reading your articles, and want to begin by saying thanks for publishing them!

I decided to take the “cold turkey” approach for my quitting smoking. Honestly, if one makes the decision to quit, and is serious about it, then the side effects and physical symptoms are very tolerable. I laid this habit down 5 days ago, and even with some symptoms … I am super happy that I made this choice. When I feel like I want to pick up a cigarette, I remind myself that I am bigger than the battle.

Last night was the ultimate test. My bestie and I go for coffee once a week … We sit for hours and drink coffee and smoke. The place that we would go is a restaurant/truckstop, and was small with poor ventilation. Well, she wanted to go for coffee last night. We went to a bigger restaurant with better ventilation and bigger open space so that I wouldn’t feel as though I was in a box full of smoke. I found that while she was smoking, I wasn’t feeling the urge to smoke at all. I was amazed that I wasn’t sitting there thinking “oh my goodness, I have to have one of those”. I didn’t experience any discomfort at all.

Best of luck to all of you who are making the decision to be bigger than the beast.
