BBS OWN Stop Smoking SUPPORT thread:)

hippie, When I talked to my doctors office a few min ago she said a lot of the insurance companies are covering it with enrollment in the support group. So call yours, it may cover it.

The receptionist said they had a lot of people on it now and they were doing very good. Said they had very positive feedback from it. My daughter aslo knows a few people on it and they are doing great as well, my ex sister in-law was a 3 pack a dayer and quit with this drug, said it was easy. I'm not fooling myself into thinking it will be easy but I am determined to try!!

Got my prescription for chantix yesterday. I have to wait about 3 days to fill it as my insurance company said it would take that long for the approval to go through. I start out in small doses and build up over a weeks time and then after a week stop smoking. My doctor said all his patients on it are doing GREAT. As it stands now Aug3 or4th will be my stop date.

I have been quit for 1 Week, 54 minutes and 5 seconds (7 days). I have saved $44.33 by not smoking 211 cigarettes. I have saved 17 hours and 35 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 7/17/2007 11:30 AM

I want to thank ahippiechic for inspiring me to quit. Its been a week, and I havent slipped! And if I can do it, anyone can! I have been smoking for 21 years, since I was 12. More than a pack a day, every day. I have tried to quit more times than I can count. I used the commit lozenges for the first couple of days, when it was to hard to not smoke, but I havent had one for 2 days. I was afraid of being hooked on them instead of the cigs, but so far so good!
