No sense putting the cart before the horse but… one of these days. Or years, rather, I want to be a mommy.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Chantix. Only one pill a day (erratically) for a month or two. After the insurance raised the prescription costs, I decided to do it on will power. I quit December 1st, but with the holidays, there were a few times here or there at gatherings where I bummed one off of a friend, but I never fell completely off the wagon.

Right now I’m on a mission to get healthy, body mind and spirit, and I think perhaps quitting smoking will come along with that, and maybe I can do it cold turkey without the help of mind-altering drugs.
