Day 1

So its week one!! Wish me luck!

I immediately went down to the nearest pharmacy I could find to get the wonder drug that will help me to stop smoking cancer sticks!

It comes in a lovely packaging, I wish all medication came in this format. You can clearly see where you are in your course at a glance.

For the first 4 days you take one 0.5mg pill while continuing to smoke. I like the idea of easing you into it.

First decision to make, what is my quiting day??
After much thought I have decided on April 11th 2010. It is my sister's wedding with various events on 8th to the 10th, so I thought I can afford to slip up without cheating and I should be too diseased with a hangover to even want to smoke on the 11th!! So this is my final date.

At 11am I pop the first pill .... Day 1 of my journey commences

Im a little scared, even though the successes are high the side effects can be brutal! Luckily I feel fine, my stomach was a feeling a little sick but apart from that happy days!!! Smoked a little less than usual, making a conscious effort to put off those cravings! Feeling very optimistic with a "I can do this" attitude ... very unlike me :)

Went to bed relaxed and happy.
