Ahhh... I am somewhat beginning to feel like a non-smoker. I know that sounds strange, but ~ my thought processes seem to be more like those of a non-smoker already. I don't really think about smoking...unless it's thinking about how strange it is to not be thinking about it!!!
I mean sure, today I took the train back into LA. It was the first time in over two years that I have gotten in my car and not lit up. That thought crossed my mind. I even stopped at a liquor store for a diet pepsi and the thought of purchasing a pack of smokes didn't even cross my mind. It's really an amazing feeling. I know I am no where near being out of the woods. I am only finishing my first week on CHANTIX, and havent even reached my quit day as of yet. I just hope that it remains to go as smoothly as it is going now. I have read of some not-so-lucky experiences with the drug (depression, skin issues, nausea, vomiting) and this makes me apprehensive as I am about to double my dose tomorrow, with my quit day the following day. I dont want to psych myself out and begin experiencing the side effects that a small number complain of.
I want things to continue to go smoothly. I never imagined it would be this painless. I had one cigarrette today. My cousin is staying over and she smokes... so, I decided to take advantage of my "free opportunity" to indulge. I am looking forward to my quit day. I dont want any more excuses to poison my body.
Over all... today was a great day. I am happy to be back in LA. Happy to have spent the evening doing laundry (april-fresh-non-smoker-clothes await me:). And happy that being home didn't trigger my urge to smoke.
Thank you Chantix!
