I'm quitting smoking next week!

I've been part of a study at UP for smoking cessation. I've been smoking since I was 14 (I'm 35 now)--I've tried hypnosis twice and quit cold turkey for about 5 years, but I keep going back. The drug they have me on is called Celexa and I quit during the first part of the study, but now we're in phase three and I took the first pill today. I need some support!

As you can see by My avatar I'm a Yogi.The Asana I'm demonstrating is a Seated Forward Bend. This pose took 5 years to prefect. My hobbys are yoga, health, nutrition, and Having Fun! Smoking is not, and never has been a hobby, or habit of mine. I'm 74, still working at my chosen Profession (beekeeping) and I have not had a Medical Checkup for 30 years. I am drug free (over the Counter and Prescription drugs) I can't remember the last time I took an Aspirin. Life is about Quality not Quantity. You can live to a Hundred and One,in a wheelchair, on oxygen, but who wants that? If its not fun, don't do it!

Great for you! thumbup I'd love to try yoga again; unfortunately, the instructors near me charge a fortune! I had a problem with one of my shoulders (turned out to be a bone spur, in addition to tendonitis) about 7 years ago and when I took an introduction for MS patients (we tried several classes), I found that I actually had normal mobility in my shoulder for the first time in two years! I know it's much better to learn from an instructor correctly, than to do the exercises wrong and possibly hurt yourself. thumbup Thanks for sharing! happy

I just noticed that it's been a year since this discussion was started and I wondered how you are doing. I know that most people try several times to quit before they actually do. So, did the medicine work? If not, I hope you keep trying because I think it will really un-burden your life and keep you healthy.

Chantix really does work! thumbup It worked for me, except that I let my best friend get me started again (so smoking for me is not so much physical as psychological)! blush I'm hoping that when I move, by not having that regular influence, I'll be able to quit again. I've actually tried quite a few times--cold turkey (successful for five plus years!) a number of times, hynopsis twice (need to activate better triggers for me!), and Chantix twice (I still had meds left from before, but not enough to fully make me quit). I'll have to try again after I move. happy
