Well well well... day one not as hard as I thought it would be!! I am pretty darn pumped at this moment!
Now I will confess that at 6 am when I woke up - I found a cig , and LIT IT! SHAME on me! But I quickly put it down and scolded myself - and that was that, took my medicine and then went to wk. Considering how the day began, I was nervous but determined!! Made it all day and really didn't even think about it! When I did think about it, I would say, "Self...if you make it all day, and you are really really craving one - you can have one on the way home." And then something really cool happened - I didn't really want one, not badly enough to blow the whole day - something I feel I worked for and deserved - and haven't done in YEARS! Day one almost over. I can tell when the meds are wearing off cause I get pretty hateful. Sad side effect but I am willing to live with it. Can't say the same for my hubby, who probably wishes I would just go back to smoking. I have a little headache, but really it has not been bad! I do not get home till 6 and then I have to cook dinner (suppose to eat with the meds anyway) and so I am thinking I may have a snack at work at 5 - and then I am all ready for the rest of the evening. In truth, I think the 1 mg in the morning is enough - I really did survive day one and not once did I think I was going to die. But, following the directions as best I can....... I will dose up again here shortly. (and then go to bed 3 hours later, that's dumb!)
Wondering when the nicotine withdrawls will begin and what that feels like. As far as craving nicotine, I am not. I have the "something is missing" feeling - so staying busy helps, and visualizing helps.... but I am aware that the medicine is doing alot of the work for me. Hateful? headache? feel like you are missing something? sounds like withdrawls to me! Any thoughts? They say this lasts only a week?????? Really????? Haha, hubby just brought me toast and my pill - funny guy!
