girlwisdom, good to see you back on here. I am on the chantix and as not so graciously said it really works. It has for friends of mine as well. I found it at walmart for 108.00 witch compared to price of cigs is a bargain. Good luck with it. Bruce

Hi Stagerlee!!! Nice to see you again too. I've heard about Chantix, and yes it's an amazing quit smoking drug indeed; however, because I'm on depression meds I can't take it or believe me I would be. A couple of my friends have done it, and say it's a miracle drug. Anyhow, no matter how we do it, just keep doing it(quitting smoking) lol . Good luck Stagerlee with your quit. I'm proud of you and everyone here who has kicked the habit in the backside. PS. Here in Canada we need a prescription for Chantix, so you are lucky to just get it off the shelf like you do. Another bonus!:)

Hugs

Thank you, Stagerlee

Hi again everyone!!!!

I'm still drinking green tea in the mornings....I thought it would be really hard to switch but I don't even miss my coffee...still looking for the white tea.

Hey Goob...how are your smoothies going...I had a question for you, how much soy milk do you use and what kind?....I'm not a breakfast person so smoothies sound like a good idea.

Thanks all .....Little~Italy

Hey Little Italy,

I have a smoothie recipe for you. If you have a high powered blender such as a vitamix it's super good because it gets blended really smooth.

1 cup *fresh squeezed oj*
3 ripe spotted bananas
1 cup strawberries or 1 cup mango
handful of ice

You can add a handful of baby spinach to this, you won't even taste this.

Also a good coffee alternative is called "Caffix" most heath food stores have it, I can't tell the difference between it and coffee.

Hi Shifrah!!

Thanks sooo much for the info!

I've never had or made a smoothie before...I like the idea of not using any milk too...My blender isn't very powerful, but I'll give it a try.

Thanks again for your reply!!

Hi everyone!!

Still not drinking coffee....

I am wondering if I should switch to decaf green tea....caff. never bothered me and I know green tea has much less than coffee....but is decaf better for you?....I can't wait to find the white tea so I can try that also...

Thanks for all the replys I have gotten so far!!!

Hi all! I realize this thread is about coffee/tea etc..... , but we talked briefly some time ago and some of you were thinking of or have quit smoking; just wondering how it's going with that? I have been smoke-free for 4months 1week 2days 12 hours. Still going strong. It's been some bumpy roads, but it's all good so far. I love tea now too. I sure have changed.

Take care
Hugs

Great post. I need to quit, worried about triggers. But it's great to hear your life has changed for the better. One step at a time.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Love your saying at bottom of post. It's right on

I liked coffee for more than a year ago. But because of drinking more coffee, I couldn't sleep at night. I decided to drink tea instead of coffee. By drinking various tea in the last one year, I realized that green tea is the best tea. It is beneficial for our body, and of course, I would say it does not make much of a problem for my sleep, and there is no question of drinking coffee again.
