Hardest battle for me

I never smoked as a child or young adult.  I would have a few cigarettes here and there when out with friends.  As the years passed and I had some difficult life moments, I started to smoke.  I smoked for about eight years.  I have a addictive personality so I got hooked pretty quickly.  I got to the point where I was smoking 10 cigarettes a day and a pack on each day on the weekend.  I felt so aweful, but I loved the cigarette.  I was a closet smoker, like no one could smell it.  I exercise regularly and it wasn't affecting my exercise so I though it was ok.  One day I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't like what I saw.  That was not who I wanted to be.  I went to the dr for a sinus infection and told him that I was smoking and really needed to stop.  He prescribed Chantix for 3 months.  It worked for me, but the only thing I really hate is that I have so much gas!  I used to be regular and now every day is a struggle.  I just ordered some probiotics so I hope they help.  That is the only downfall I have.  I may get another pack of chantix, because I stopped it and the cravings started coming back and with the gas and cravings it has been really hard to stay off the cigarettes although I have so far.  3 and 1/2 months.  I think the thing that really stopped me from smoking was realizing all the chemicals I was putting into my body everyday!  I plan on never smoking again.  Good Luck to all.
