My second visit with her she put me on medication both for blood pressure (150/90) and smoking cessation. My last visit with her ended up being one of the best days of my life. I no longer needed the BP medication. The Chantix had worked well in getting me to quit and I was healthier than I had been in years. I dodged a BIG bullet and I know it. That was almost two years ago 
I keep a copy of that bullet as a reminder...good luck!! You can do it!!

Scoobs,
Thank you for sharing. I guess with all the folks that share it is wonderful and your story strikes me as it matches my reasons and story. Your blood pressure is low compared to mine! I desire to bring it down, have it stay down and lower the BP meds (I don't know if I will ever get off). I go back to the doctors in 2 weeks. I don't think Chantix will be a choice for me but hopefully some other options will be.
The cheering section,
I will read the posts. Water, water, water. I tend to be a floater anyway so I will continue to water it up! And thank you for being so positive.
Grenade,
Way to go!
Thank you all.
