Day 23

Day 23, 14 days off the smokes (or as I like to call it, 2 weeks hell yeah!)

I reach my two week mark and my day is filled with lots of lovely cravings after a few days rest. Oh to feel like a non smoker, oblivious of the torchers of a smokers life.

I read that it actually takes something like 3 weeks for nicotene to leave the system. So no wonder I am still feeling physical cravings. At week 2 it feels like its trying to have one last attempt to get our love re-united. Well nic all I have to say is f**k you nic, f**k you!

A little dramatic maybe, but I feel dramatic today!

Deep breathing and the internet got me through today without smoking.

Roll on week 3 and no more craving (heres hoping!)

  1. good for you, zoe. and drama can be good. glad you made it through. we are doing ok. not counting anymore because we are gonna be done sunday night. when we wake up monday morning we will not be smoking. period. we'll go back through your's and TQs days to see what is same and what is different. we will learn. we have to. tired of the drama of the smoker's life. think nothing of the adverse health effects. one thing tho, the champix was supposed to block something, i am still feeling like i am getting 'something' off the cigarettes. we'll be doing alot more routine changing, as we already have been. and we are going to be putting the money we would have spent on smokes into a jar and watch it grow. :) i never did that when i stopped drinking (i wish i would have). off to bed. 2 more days as a smoker. i am so proud of you for being 2 wks a non smoker. :) you & TQ are our mentors. :)

  2. Heya poet, crazy mood yesterday! I was still getting something off smokes too before I got sick and then couldnt smoke for 2 days, smoked again and thats when I noticed I wasnt enjoying them at all. Im in half minds whether champix is a placebo or not. Either way good luck with Monday. We will all be here to give you help.
