Day 25, 16 days off the smokes
This is starting to sound a bit like Big Brother, queue narrator in geordie accent "Its day 25 in the big anti smoking house and Zoe drags her blood soaked knuckles along the floor with drool dripping everywhere!"
Hah hah its not all that bad but having a rough few days of cravings. I think a combination of pre exam stress and cravings making things seem worse than they actually are.
Im not entirely sure what Champix is doing for me. Im too afraid to test out this theory just incase it gets proven wrong but I dont think it helps to block my cravings. I think it may do that for some people as it makes them so ill they cant possibly smoke, but for me I feel nothing. However I think it does plant a psychological trigger, a switch if you will allowing the desires to quit flood into an active part of the brain. Could I have come this far without the aid of champix? Probably, if I was in the right frame of mind. Champix is just that, the right frame of mind.
Poet and Kath goodluck with tomorrow, cant wait to see how you get on. Whatever you do dont start using any of the NRTs. There is no point adding nicotene to your system everyday but not allowing yourself to smoke! I read an article recently about Richard and Judy's (english chatshow stars) daughter who quit smoking through the gum, then got addicted to the gum for a further 10 years! I dont see any savings to be had there!
Anyway enough ramblings for one day
Until next time, keep popping!
