My spirits are lifting - had to be the decrease in Chantix - damn, I may never get off this stuff and therefore never have another decent night's sleep. Or maybe this drug is working on my depression and without it for awhile I'm depressed again............hmmmm, going to talk with my PCP on Monday.
I'm going to put up our Christmas Tree this weekend - dear husband talked me into it - guess that's why we've been married almost 31 years.
I'm also going to hopefully finish my shopping this weekend.
This coming week is filled doctors, scans, and visiting with my son, wife and her family.
I'm really envious of those that are finding their quit so much easier, damn, I really thought I'd be able to do this without so much grief..........guess if it were easy to quit, it would be easy to go back to and quit again and again.
I'm proud of you all and have again started reading daily in my efforts to stay quit - if you can then I can too.

Hey MamaFlo! Glad to hear you're feeling better and staying quit. I just put my tree up today - I'm looking at it right now and listening to Christmas songs on the radio. I can't believe Christmas is only 10 days away - this year has gone by so quickly! We're supposed to get some snow this evening, but the weather people can never get it right - it will probably just rain. I don't really like snow, but there is something nice about a white Christmas. Well, enjoy the rest of your weekend and have fun putting up your tree!
MamaFlo, glad you are feeling a bit better! Did you mean that you think increasing Chantix helps with your lifted spirits? I'm just curious. I do know that smoking seems to mask things for some so that when quitting, issues that weren't issues suddenly appear. No idea if that's the case, just wondering aloud. In any case, I do think it's great that you will be discussing with your doctor.
And I'm glad your husband thought to mention putting up the tree - that always makes me cheery.
I am so glad to read that you are still on the road of non-smoking success. I must say I agree with you...this is the hardest thing in the world to do and sometimes I REALLY want a cigarette....I want one but don't need one. I don't want to quit again either. I am still on Chantix and am curious as to what I am going to do when I go off of it. For today I am smoke-free. Keep the faith.
Peace,
Diva
As usual mamaflo, I completely understand. lol I smoked for over 34 years so we are pretty close there. I can't help but chuckle a little bit while reading your posts. Your husband sounds like a wonderful man and I'm glad that you didn't make him move out! lol
I stopped taking my Chantix early too because I was tired of the nausea, gas, bloating and so on that started to plague me. I didn't really notice any big changes once I stopped taking it. I still want to smoke all of the time, but I did when I was on chantix too. I just keep reminding myself how bad smokers smell to me now and how I use to smell like that! Yikes! That kind of freaks me out!
Keep up the fight, you're doing great.
