smoke free 2 weeks! :)

wow, well way to go, keep up that good work, you are doing great, wean yourself off! :)

Thanks. I have to go back to the doctor in a few weeks. I will probably ask him about it. If you don't mind me asking, is it expensive or is it covered under most insurances?

cost $24.00 with my prescription insurance, it's for a entire month. yes, just tell him you are having hard time stop smoking and you hear about welbutrin and ask him for a prescription. Also give the medicine a few days to work before you try to quit, it took me about 3 days before I could put them down.

it's a pill you can get a prescription for a doctor. It worked both for me and my husband

yes, it's so refreshing, I almost forgot how nice it was to be able to breathe this well!

Yes, it's surprising, isn't it? Well done anyway.

well you know I had asthma my entire life was born almost costed me my life right after birth, but we came to florida and got out of the harsh winters of maryland and I somehow did survive, my dad thinks it's a miracle and I went into remission as a child as stayed in remission for 30 years. I have smoked for the past 18 years, but wasn't till 5 years ago, this started getting bad, I swear this is how I thought I would die, and really bad these past few years, and to the point of having to carry an epipen with me so my throat will not close up. My dad begged me for years to please stop, because it's going to bring the asthma back again, I didn't listen and still didn't listen to the doctors, nobody until I was ready and sick of not being able to breathe anymore and the constant fear is this it, is this the mintue I will die? Maybe he is not ready.....suggest he take welbutrin or something like that, because this will only get worse. I know about the gagging, I have done this and it's always worse at nighttime, because your natural steriod levels are low and that is when you are most likley to have the attacks, it drops to the lowest point about 2:00 am .....they also can and do happen in the daytime, but your steriod levels always peak the highest in the daytime, thats why you cough less in the daytime and more at night. I'm sorry to hear about your heart, hang in there life really does get bettter!

thanks you! It's great being an ex-smoker! :)

wow, well I will be praying for them to quit. :) nobody can help him until he is ready to be helped, you can beg and plead all you want but it's like a monster on your back, you know it's bad for you, you know it's making you sick, you know it can kill you, but the fact it's hard to quit, to even think about quitting is hard, you think of what life would be without cigaetees sometimes scary, cause they are like a saftey net, you are fine as long as you have them, but once they are gone, you will think how bad you will miss them.

I'm going to stop taking the medicine soon, just want to make sure I'm over this first! :)

see about getting a prescription for welbutrin, I'm telling you both me and my husband quit using this medication and works great for us both.

thanks! Yep, smoking is a thing of the past for me! I got the monkey off my back!
