Welcome WOSHKIE

I have a prescription for Chantix and I am planning to start it on Monday Jan 7th. I have been smoking for 30 years and I am so scared to quit. I am very hard on myself and do not want to fail at this. So far I have been lucky and am not suffering from any serious or chronic medical conditions that I know of. I have regular appts with my physician and am in pretty good shape physically. I'm also afraid of gaining weight. I have recently lost about 20lbs and feel pretty good about that. Well that's about it for now. I know I will be needing to talk to others once I really begin and I'm trying to prepare by joining now. Right now I am working the night shift so if anyone is awake and wants to say hi I'm here. Thanks for listening.
