Another gorgeous day in South Texas - Wow, I can't ever remember this many glorious days in a row since we moved here in 1992.
I've really been wondering lately why I've been wanting to smoke, there is no other way to describe it except to say, I'd really like to sit outside on my patio with a cup of coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other. This isn't to say that the wantings/urges/cravings or any other words used for it, are anything like they would have been prior to the Chantix but they are there nonetheless. The Chantix is lessening it's overall effect on me - dreams are less pronounced, difficulty sleeping is less pronounced, constipation is less too............OMG, could it be that the Chantix has hit it's apex with me and will continue to loose it's effect? I guess there are stranger things and everyone is different.........hmmmmm, I will tell my PCP about this when I see him next.
But, even with everything I said above, I have fought off those cigarette thoughts and I am still smoke free.
I hope everyone else is doing well with their quit.
Have a wonderful Monday friends!!!!
I am an addict, I understand I will always be one cigarette away from my pack a day habit.
I vow not to smoke today.

MamaFlo, I understand the whole sitting out on the balcony thing (well, not when the weather is how it gets here, but other times). I do miss it. But, like you said, not enough to go back. Somewhere around a month, I did a little balcony reclamation by kissing Tom out there instead. Yes, I'm a complete nut, but I don't smoke, so that's one less nutty thing about me ;)
MamaFlo, keep fighting off the cigarette thoughts - you are doing great! 34 days is a major accomplishment - be proud!
Hey, MamaFlo!
I would not call the camping I do "ruffing it" LOL...I always have my laptop playing satellite radio and the only "ruff" part is having to use a comfort station since my pop-up doesn't have a bathroom. It's all good fun, though! Your post cracked me up and made my night! Honestly, for some reason, I was thinking about smoking, and just happened to read your post and you "talked" me out of it! Thanks!
I know exactly how you feel! And I am so glad you don't give in to the desire. Like Maggie says - doesn't matter. I know myself too well and one would lead right back to, well, it's not an option.
Keep up the good work!
