Hello everyone I'm new to the forum and I see alot of support from most everyone on here and thats a great thing. I have been smoking for 36yrs and my doctor told me that if I continue to smoke that I will get emphysema within the next 10yrs and I have to tell you that scares the heck out of me, My father died from emphysema and it was a horrible way to go. Ok, My doctor has given me an option to help quit, 1 being zyban and the other nicotrol inhaler so I chose the inhaler wich I will begin to use starting Sunday. I will continue to monitor this forum for help and support and also to post my success.

Thanks, It's been 3 days now and I excited so far, the people around me are supportive and do NOT smoke around me. I know 3 days isn't alot but it is a start.

It may not be a lot, cleverockz, but it's a helluva great start. Congratulations, and hang tough...the first week or two is the toughest, then it will ease up. Keep remembering, the longer you go without smoking, the easier it will become. Are you using the inhaler...how's it going with that?
Don't forget to post here if your need support or a friend to vent to.
Best luck!
