Welcome

My boyfriend and I have chosen today, August 30th, 2010, as our final quit day. This is the day that we have both chosen to make a serious change and become better and healthier people. Today is the day that we quit smoking... for good.

We have many different reasons for wanting to quit and have both tried in the past, but the ugly habit has never permanently ceased. We've both been smokers for over 10 years and have decided that it's time to close that door and open a new and cleaner one. He and I will be tackling this quit in different ways. He has chosen to go cold turkey. I, after guidance from my doctor, have chosen to enlist the help of Chantix and the GetQuit plan.

In order to track our progress and hold us accountable I will diary our journey here (as best and as often as I remember to) for the world to see. I will try to throw in some interesting stories along the way as well for any possible reader's entertainment. Please feel free to comment, I am interested in hearing your thoughts and even advice. As I said, the point of this is to remain accountable (and to give my hands something to do when an urge strikes).

Happy reading and thanks for joining us!
