Whew! It's been a busy weekend around here but I'm back and ready for a new week.
The storms on Friday have passed and while we spent a good 3 hours under tornado warnings with multiple funnel clouds spotted, nothing touched down near us and we were extremely lucky compared to others in the storm's path.
Moving on, we spent a very well thought out $132 at the end of last week that I can now say was well worth it.
You see, the hubs is a smoker, has been for as long as I've known him. Fortunately, he long ago realized his need to quit and has been trying ever since. Everything from patches and gum to just going cold turkey, you name it, he's tried it. He has cut back considerably but it seems like he just can't rid himself completely of them.
So, after a discussion with his doctor last week, he picked up a prescription for Chantix. I have to say that I was skeptical at best and really didn't want to have to fork over a ton of money since our insurance wouldn't cover it. But, after discussing it in detail with his doctor and the pharmacist. he wanted to give it a try.
So he did, to the tune of $132 and some change.
He's not even a week into it yet but is already smoking less than he ever has in a day before. Obviously, it will be a few more weeks before we can tell for sure if it does what it says it will but as of right now I would definitely say that it's turning out to be a success.
And hey, if $132 means that hundreds of dollars will be saved every month by not buying cigarettes then I'm all for it!
Have you tried Chantix? Did it work for you?
Congrats to your hubby, my sister in law had great luck with the drug!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is also a smoker and has tried quiting but he always goes back. A few years ago his doctor gave him a perscription for Chantix but we never filled it since our insurance doesn't cover it. Wish we had. The money it would have saved us between all the patches and gums that didn't work and packs of cigarettes bought. Good luck to your hubby!
