Today I’m starting my journey to quit smoking.  I went to the doctor yesterday to get a prescription for Chantix.  Chantix actually works by making you not want to smoke.  It also includes a support plan that helps track your smoking habits.  So the drug helps the brain and the support program helps the habit.

You start with a low dose and taper up, while you taper down on cigarettes.

So wish me luck.  I’m hoping to be healthier and smoke free by the end of July.
