Day 80

Here it is, 80 days since I had a cigarette.

Normally I would have been getting ready to go off the Chantix sometime in the next 10 days. However I basically only took that for a month. I started taking it for a few days into the second month, and then decided I wanted to go it on my own. I hasn’t been that horrible going off the pills early. I think I have had more urges than I would have if I had taken the pills. Even yesterday, I was stressed WAY out by work, and I could feel the urge to smoke boiling below the surface. I wouldn’t do it, there is no way, but it’s still there, still ready to spring back to life if I give it the energy to do so.

I have a few insights I have gained over these last few months, but I think I will save them for a 90 day post. For now, I will just post this as a reminder of where I was.

Happy breathing.

    Happy Breathing, indeed! That’s awesome. Urges don’t have to lead to smoking, and that’s fabulous.
