Love your enthusiasm Hygiene100 ๐ and youโre right it is exciting to start this smoke free journey. I have no doubt that with your great attitude youโll be able to ride any bump that may come on your road!
Still good - morning of day three. Blahs havenโt hit yet though, but like I said, itโs the morning. No cravings so far today...so fingers crossed. Itโs a work day for me so Iโll be nice and busy. Lol, I am finding it harder to wake in the morning though lol, Iโm guessing I need the extra sleep to heal xx
Hi Hygiene100! I'm on day 6 of Champix.. no real change yet. I'm waiting for that moment when I finally think of smoking and think "yuck!". Another thing I hate about this mentally is we've booked a vacation at Christmas, and I'm thinking - how am I going to enjoy myself sipping on drinks without a CIGGY!? It's so sad that's what I think about. I can't wait to just get this awful habit out of my head!
I know what you mean! Those things were always my downfall in the past too. What Iโve found has helped me this time is looking at the craving a different way. Instead of โfeeling deprivedโ and โmissing outโ, Iโm challenging those thoughts by asking myself โmissing out on the foul taste and stink?โ โDepriving myself of being free?โ โReally?โ Seriously, like a true addict I organised my life around being able to smoke!! Now I no longer do that, and I actually feel freer than I ever have. Try it, you are bigger and stronger than the petulant demands from a little stick, I promise xx
And as well, imagine how awesome it will be to sit on a plane, NOT waiting for it to be over so you can smoke. Youโll be able to enjoy the cocktail flavour that much more too xx
Keep fighting and ready to attack at all times Hygiene100 as you are in the thick of your body and mind rewiring, repairing and recovering. But, good news, as each day passes the stronger you become and the less severe and frequent the cravings will be.
Yes, you will have bad days, but the good days by far outweigh them. Keep in touch
