We Quit Cigarettes

Didn't want to say it, yes a bit nuts it is.
@21hens-incharge keep an eye on your blood pressure, it may suddenly drop.

I definitely will. I run on the low side normally so going lower.....

I am sure they have a pill for that too.

Habits are hard to kill. Some of it is just muscle memory. You have to form new habits so that you're not walking in the garage like you would when you'd smoke.

My dad smokes in the garage unless I'm there because he doesn't want to pollute my air

My dad goes outside thankfully but barely. Only like right outside the door.

Chik'n. Eat more chik'n! (And beef and pork and duck and goose and venison...)

Beef jerky.....YES!!! I can do that!
Maybe celery.....or other reasonably neutral veggie. Carrots are ok but still have sugars so gotta stare at those.

Kiki, I am only on page 63, but if the crying is new please discuss it with your doctor. It may be a side effect of the Chantix and s/he should know about it.

Good point. Hadn’t thought of that.

I don’t think I’ve ever had duck, goose, or venison. Never had lamb or veal either.

I've had venison. It was when I was in high school. It used to be my favorite meat

Some jerkys are pretty high in sugar, so keep an eye on the labels--or make your own. I'm a big fan of celery. Reputedly takes more energy to chew and digest than it contains. Is satisfyingly crunchy and almost zero preparation required. That's my kind of "junk food"!

I like it with natural peanut butter that only contains peanuts nothing else.

Did you guys hunt? I know that’s usually a common source of it aha
