week 9 update

[stAn3]

I have made it through 8 weeks not smoking. I am less dependent on the nicotine lozenges. I have noticed that I need more sleep since halfing the dose (possibly mild nicotine withdrawal). I look forward to not using the lozenges anymore but will not quit using them before the end of the 12-week suggested program.

I am using gum now between lozenges. Dry mouth has always been a trigger for me for some weird reason.

I don't have much thoughts of wanting to smoke. I can't remember the last time I have had a strong craving. If I do think of smoking, I take it as a signal that I am stressed out and need to calm down. The smell of smoking coming from the smoking break room at work repulses me now. It doesn't attract me to smoking.

I'm glad to to still be smoke free and a part of the becomeanex community. Thanks for all the messages of support when I got my 50 days in.
