Feeling good today....

Well today is my Friday...the counter says 5 days...but I count 6 don't know how that works my last cigarette was on September 21 at 10.30 pm...but that doesn't matter all that much....I just know I'm not smoking...I got on the treadmill again today and actually walked 1.5 miles in 32 minutes...thats fantastic for me it used to take almost an hour when I was smoking...it feels so very good to not stink...my 19 year old son gave me a hug an kiss before bed the other night and said "Wow mom you don't stink. I'm so proud of you"...that almost made me cry...he has been the one child that has been concerned about my smoking...I just hope and pray when the Chantix goes away...I will remain smoke free...How long do people actually stay on the Chantix...I guess I don't need to be concerned with that right now..since I have a ways to go...Hopefully everyone will have a great rest of the day smoke-free

Congrats on another smoke-free day! Not smelling like smoke is a huge gift we give to those around us when we quit. About how long on Chantix, most doctors prescribe for at least 12 weeks, but some go off sooner or stay on longer. I did 12 weeks, but it's always good to discuss with your doctor.
