Talk About a Smack In The Face

This morning as I am getting ready to walk out the door, my husband informs me that he is going to quit smoking. This all comes due to the death of his Uncle who died from lung cancer. Ok I thought, I smoke as well so I know how hard it is to quit. If you look further down in the blog I made an attempt not to long ago. So then he says "No more smoking in the house." I looked at him and thought "You stupid fuck, how dare you say that to me. When I tried to quit you kept smoking." So I said" Hmmm, wish you felt that way when I tried to quit!" Then I walked out the door. I hate such double standards. How come it is ok for him to smoke in the house when I try to quit, but I can't smoke in the house when he wants to quit. Well, needless to say. I talked to him at lunch time and he was screaming about how he needed to stop for cigarettes!!

Smoking

So 5 days ago I decided to quit smoking. There is a new pill out and I thought I might give it a try. It is call Chantix and it is supposed to shut of the receptors in your brain that trigger the need or want for a cigarette. So far so good, no side effect to speak of. I have been taking 1/2 mg twice daily for the past few days. On day 8 I will start taking 1 mg twice a day. That is when the real fun begins!!! I hope this works, I have been a smoker since I was 12 years old. I will be 31 in 5 days. So that would be 19 years.....geez...more than 1/2 my life...
