One year ago today (started CHANTIX on 7/13/08, my grandson,
Hunters' 9th birthday) I gave up the worst habit in my life ...
I quit smoking! Forty years of damaging my body and
chancing getting lung cancer. God was with me!
So far - the two tests I have had, everything is fine.
Helping Hand From CHANTIX
This medication should be applauded - I was one of the lucky ones to not have any side effects as some people have reported. Now mind
you I really had gotten very sick for a few days but it passed. Thank
God I didn't give up! I made it and proud to say "I DO NOT SMOKE!"
Super Woman - I'm not! But man I feel better than I have in a long time.
My breathing is amazing compared to a year ago.
Used to I couldn't complete a sentence
without having to stop in the middle of it to catch my breathe!
Here is a poem I wrote while taking CHANTIX -
Second Wind …
Morning is come so soon you know
It’s choking time here I go!
Coughing and sneezing it’s always the same
I don’t want to keep playing this game
Need to breathe clean, fresh air
A bountiful freshness everywhere
So I went to the doctor to get a fix
He wrote me a prescription for Chantix
First four days it was one pill for me
I smoked two and a half packs, you see
Fourth day started a pill morning and night
Cigarettes slowly faded out of sight –
On my second week can’t smoke anymore
Amazing I’m feeling better than before!
So I’ll sit back now no need for critics
Getting my second wind with Chantix.

I won't knock anyone for smoking - I know at one time I didn't want to hear it.
Today I am Smoke - Free & breathing! My family is happy for me and that
means all the world to me ...
Please let me know if you or anyone you know
has taken or tried CHANTIX. I am curious to know
if anyone else had the luck I had with this medicine.
I have heard a lot of bad things and am wondering if
anyone else has quit with CHANTIX -
GOD BLESS & GOOD LUCK IF YOU ARE TRYING TO QUIT SMOKING!
~Sylvia
