I Quit!

When I encountered my boss in the hall this morning and told her that my quit date was June 13th, her eyeballs kinda bulged outta her head...*snicker*

I was in to see MaryEllen, my doctor's nurse this morning. She's an ex-smoker...it took having a stroke to convince her to quit, so if she can quit I sure as hell can.

There's a medication out on the market, called Champix. It's supposed to be a wonder drug; works by either blocking the nicotine receptors or some such thing...check the link, there's lots of info.

M.E. said that of 14 she's started on it, 12 have successfully quit.

I'm off to the pharmacy right *now* to pick up my prescription.

Right after I finish this cigarette....LOL
