I'm posting this early as I'm out this evening; I'll be 10 weeks at 6:00pm. And, as of yesterday my general anxiety or desire to smoke that comes along from time to time throughout the day, I now see as being miniscule (I have it a little whilst writing this). Yesterday was a horror of a day as far as quitting goes for me. The strongest craving started from about 10:00am right through the day, with an extremely difficult time mid-afternoon. I'm still somewhat thrown by the experience. And it seems to have triggered my physical withdrawal (or psychophysical; they cannot possibly be actual physical withdrawal) symptoms again, which I still have now.
I don't know whether it was triggered by my having a really poor night's sleep the night before. It could be my reducing the champix (I have a weeks supply left and may take Celestine's suggestion, and get a further prescription). I just do not know. The good news is I didn't have any. I don't feel stronger as a result of my resolve, but simply as if I was hit with a sledgehammer. Really knocked me. Anyway..................onward.
A further thought on the above. I would say THE main reason I did not succumb is my commitment to this forum. Not that it would take me down a rocky road to full time smoking, not the effect on running, on my wallet, on my health. It was to here. Whether that is driven by potential shame or embarrassment, I don't know. But this forum is vital for people, to come on as often as they need. With me it's clearly to visit each day, not matter what at the moment. I'd be too slippery or wily with myself to go it alone yet.
