Make a New Year’s Resolution to Quit for Good

Are you of the new year, new you mindset? If quitting smoking is one of your New Year's Resolutions your local Walgreens pharmacy can help you quit smoking for good with a variety of smoking cessation products and support from the Walgreens team.

I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #WalgreensQuitForGood campaign, sponsored by Walgreens. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

My mom was a smoker for 25 years before she quit smoking with the help of nicotine gum. The fact that she was able to quit smoking after doing it for so long inspired me on my own journey for better health. Living a healthy lifestyle is so important to me now. Just like my mom, I want to be around for my own children for as long as I can. I hope to be an inspiration for them like my mom has been for me.

Are you of the new year, new you mindset? Have you been thinking about making better choices for your health in 2021? Now is the perfect time to quit unhealthy habits such as smoking and set goals for a better you in the new year.

Walgreens Has a Variety of Smoking Cessation Products

Changing habits, especially unhealthy habits, can be overwhelming. It can be difficult to know where to start. If quitting smoking is on your mind, you don’t have to do it alone. You can visit your local Walgreens and speak to a pharmacist. Walgreens has a variety of smoking cessation products that can help you quit smoking and quit for good. They have products like nicotine gum and lozenges – even sugar free varieties if you are calorie conscious like me.

Walgreens Smoking Cessation Products

Walgreens Nicotine Gum: Each piece of gum should last about 30 minutes, and you can chew up to 20 pieces per day. Walgreens Nicotine Gum is good for people who like to keep their mouth busy.

Walgreens Lozenges: Similar to Walgreens Nicotine Gum, Walgreens Lozenge also comes in 2mg and 4mg strengths. This is a good choice for people who may avoid gum due to TMJ problems.

To increase your success in quitting by use of these products you must be motivated to quit, use enough, use long enough, use with a support program as directed per enclosed product user guide.

Save on Walgreens Smoking Cessation products with these promotions:

• On your 4th Nicotine Mini Lozenge or Coated Nicotine Gum purchase, save $10 on your next purchase of one Nicotine Mini Lozenge or Coated Nicotine Gum; through 2/28 – must be a MyWalgreens member

• BOGO50 – 12/27/20 – 2/27/21

Maybe you’re not a smoker but have a friend or loved one who needs to quit smoking. I encourage you to let them know that they don’t have to do it alone. I still have family members who use tobacco products and try to be a gentle encourager and to set an example for them. Believe me, I know that old habits are hard to break and some more than others. Food used to be my comfort and my crutch, but not anymore.

Exercising and making healthier choices

In the last five years I have lost more than sixty pounds. I realized that dieting alone wasn’t going to cut it. I had to change my mindset to make lasting lifestyle changes. I was fortunate to have the encouragement and support of family and friends, and even support from new friends that I made on my journey to better health. These days I eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. My fiancé, Andy, and I do a lot of our exercising together. We walk six miles almost every day. Since I’m not presently going to the gym, I’ve been doing barre workouts at home along with some basic core strength exercises. One of my goals for 2021 is to participate in a virtual half marathon.

Choosing healthier habits was challenging at first, but now I don’t have to give much thought to making healthy choices. It comes more naturally these days and it really helps when you have someone who supports you and your goals. The Walgreens team can be that support for you, if you’re ready to quit smoking and quit for good. They can help you build a personalized plan to quit on your terms and help you find the right Walgreens Smoking Cessation products to deliver controlled, therapeutic doses of nicotine to help with difficult, physical withdrawal symptoms and relieve cravings.

Family is so important to me. With all the craziness of 2020, I realize that more than ever. Amidst all the chaos of last year, I turned 50 AND got engaged. Through the many challenges we faced, we grew closer and stronger as a family. The new year holds so much promise for us all.

It was so great having both of my kids with me for Christmas this year. I really needed that visit from my son. And, I look forward to being able to visit my mom in Georgia later this year. In the meantime, we can continue to connect virtually, and I love looking through our family photo albums and at the gallery wall in my living room.
