Congrats on quitting, I'm working on it myself. I'm taking Chantix,
which seems to be helping quite abit, too bad they are so expensive, I
don't know if i can afford to get a refill so I hope I'm okay. This is
like my 8th time trying to quit. I have noticed my energy level
dropping but I also have a ton of other crap going on. I got a tooth
cut out today and I'm having LASEK on Thursday, not to mention all the
stress I've had to deal with at my work because I've missed so many
days. I wish you luck, hope today is a good day,
-Angie
