Hi Charlene, we have alot in common. I am 44 as well and smoked for 30 years and am also using Chantix :)
I love your reply "If I am supporting others, I am supporting myself", particuarly as I feel a bit funny supporting new joiners when I'm really not qualified to give advice, but I'm trying to at least make a point of saying welcome.
Congratulations.
Marie

I'm supporting myself.
When she said that in her introductory post, I went "yeah, that's the answer".
To be honest I feel strange giving advice to new joiners as I'm wet behind the ears so I'll make a point of saying at least "hi and welcome"!
What a great bit of advice Charlene, for all of us.

I have nothing planned!
I'm working 60 hours or more a week and trying to have family time. I want a vacation! I was supposed to go to Madrid next week for 4 days but I have to cancel - no babysitter available and too much work. My husband (also quit) is taking me to dinner instead - that'll do!
Thanks everyone!

Oh, sorry! It's passing. Now I just have a rapidly beating heart. I'm calling my doctor.
I've never really had a panic attack. I am breathing rapidly but my heart isn't "hurting". That was so strange.
I think I need to rest somehow.
Marie
Thanks. In no way do I want to sound smug, oh my never. I had to run my sister to 3 doctors today and boy, oh boy, I had a massive craving, Chantix or not ;)
I took deep breaths and it passed. I'm on Chantix for 3 weeks about ? (December 24). I wonder about Chantix, I'm becoming obsessed with Chantix.
But I obsess about everyting.
I could see myself (oh, NO I can't)? caving if something catastrophic happened, another death, we've had too many deaths in a row that I couldn't tolerate that right now. I have to think about this - people die, I'm so worried about my Mom, she's very sick (she's a strong woman, very strong, who gets sick more easily as the years pass). Sigh. I don't know what to think today.
But I didn't smoke so that makes me happy.
Thanks for your feedback and for being there. Everyone I know is tired of listening to me LOL.
Marie
PS: Some may be confused with my days - the original post meant yesterday as I don't get home from work until after midnight and today's post is re today LOL.
Marie
I've been running my sister to doctor's all day, I can't breathe right now. I'm deep breathing and my stomach and chest hurt badly.
I'm sure this will pass. What should I do. I have to get my daughther from school, afraid to drive, have no neighbors to all on, husband at work. I'll just stay here until it passes - panic attack? Oh, I don't feel good.
