My first REAL Blog

This is my first real Blog beause, after a few other attempts that failed (couldn't get the hang of the set-up), I found this site as part of my Gmail account. It seems to be the easiest and most understandable to me, so I will make a strong effort to keep current with my blogs and such.
I am, among other things, a smoker who is trying to quit. This is not the first time I have tried, but is the last (whether successful or not!). I have gotten an Rx from my Dr. for Chantix. It is a 12 week system that has you taking some pills and checking into thewebsite to track your progress and do certain things to help you quit. The Chantix method has you choose a 'Quit Date' and then, 1 week before your QuitDate, you start taking their pills once a day. You can still smoke right up to your actual Quit Date. I am on Day 4 of the pre-Quit Date week. Still smokiong, but also logging each ciggy - time, what I am doing, thinking, feeling when I lite up, etc.(that's a bit of a pain, but it doesn't deter me...I still lite up, even with all the paper work :)
I have tried all the other aids they have for quitting (patches, gum, will power), so this Chantix is about my last shot at quitting.
