Yes, made it to day 3. Urges much stronger today and lasting a long time, but being on here and reading and typing has helped!! Looking forward to Day 4. More than anything, looking forward for the trip back home on 10 May when I can announce to them that I am no longer a smoker! Oh maybe I'm being too optimistic?? Then again they do say positive thinking, so that's where I'll try and stay, Positive!
Really appreciate the support from all of you, thanks so much!!

Oh I'm in pain Had a really bad feeling this morning, felt like my hands were gonna start shaking etc. Rough day but it got a bit better but now, wow I hate this feeling. Whole body feels odd (for lack of a better word). What the heck were we smoking? Cocaine? Feel like I'm going through withdrawl like you see in the movies with druggies. I've always said this was an addiction, but this I did not expect. Good thing for once I did not do so much reading up in advance as I may not have done it.
It's not that I want a cigarette I don't, it's just this very odd feeling all over my body. Don't like feeling this way. Yes I thought about cigarettes today but more from he physical side, as in, I'll light a smoke and call mom. Then I just answered myself and said " You don't smoke anymore!" and that was fine. I'm not really longing to inhale it, but I am HATING this feeling going through me right now!!!
Dont' know what to do!?!?!? Supposed to go to our friends for a game of cards. He smokes she doesn't, I smoke my hubby doesn't. Normally at their place he only smokes in the kitchen, but she allows it in the lounge when I go and we play cards. No the dilema is that I have not told people I've quit yet, so I am nervous about going over and the smell of smoke.
I've surprised myself and done so well stopping after just 4 1/2 days on Champix and this afternoon will be 4 days since I have not had a smoke.
So the options are what? Tell them that I stopped and I can't go over because of the smell of smoke? Fake illness and call to cancel?:confused:
Don't know why, but I don't feel ready to start telling people yet. I think it's mainly because it took me 3 days to write that I have quit, (and that felt wierd). Mentally I still think of myself as a smoker, don't know how long I'll have to go without one, and believe that I am an ex-smoker.
