@merpreb @alamogal635 @lisalucier Ladies- Sorry for being slow to respond. Been up to my eyeballs in stuff here. So much of Alamo gal rang true with me- waking up with the gross cough. knowing I should quit. I ended up using Chantix but what I really think did it was reading Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. He did a good job of illustrating to me how we've been hypnotized TO smoke and this is really reclaiming out lives. In my case I only quit in 2016 and then in 2018 was diagnosed from a routine ct scan and had a lobectomy. Unfortunately, mine did hit one lymph node, so there were 4 follow-up chemo treatments. Fortunately, I had minimal side effects. Most times I don't think about smoking. Unfortunately, when someone smokes I do still like the smell. Humorously, I find when a place is full of smoke (like a garage where the owner sneaks out for smokes) I think it STINKS- didn't even recognize it until it happened somewhere else! My secret weapon when I get smacked on the back of the head with an urge is a wintergreen lifesaver. Works every time- although when very bad I need 2!
