Show Notes

"During my previous podcast, I announced that I would be quitting smoking during the Week Beginning April 8th.  I did not have a calendar in front of me at the time; April 8th is actually a Tuesday."

"I am revising the quit time frame to be the Week Beginning April 13th..."

Show Notes

"Yesterday I prepared for quitting by switching brands.  Instead of Marlboro Lights, I bought Quest 1 (Low Nicotine), Quest 2 (Extra Low Nicotine), and Quest 3 (Nicotine Free) cigarettes.  By getting unhooked to nicotine first, it won't be such a shock to my system when I quit."

"I've tried this method before, but failed because I wasn't as mentally dedicated as I am today and also because Quest cigarettes are difficult to find in Virginia.  However, I did find a store relatively nearby that carries all three levels of Quest cigarettes."

Show Notes

"For those of you who missed the Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, here's a link to the information.  They said the term 'breathe free' is better than 'quit smoking' from a psychological standpoint."

"I also thought it was interesting that the doctor on the show, Dr. Oz, recommended taking medications when trying to quit."

"At any rate, I need to gear up and set a quit date."

Show Notes

"I caught some of a TV show last night called The Biggest Loser.  The show isn't about people quitting smoking; it's about obese people trying to lose weight.  But the show is about inspiring lifestyle changes.  Check it out on Tuesday nights on NBC."
