Thought Day 1 was ok but Day 2 has really tested me. Had to go to Wal-Mart which is frustrating in itself pull over to the side if you want to look at something don't stop in the middle of the aisle. Bought a Blu-Ray player brought it home didn't work had to go back to Wal-Mart to exchange it. Have the shakes, a tiny headache, my left shoulder is tense and I have a tiny little voice in my head saying come on one dip will calm you down. To that voice I say GO FUCK YOURSELF I AM BUSY BEING QUIT!
Hey, padresfan -
Saw in your first post that you're going the Chantix route...that's the strategy I've chosen as well. I'm on Day 39. In retrospect, I wish I'd have kept a better journal of the early days so I could be of more help.
However, from what I recall...one the first 3-4 days had passed, the Chantix did seem to help suppress / muffle the cravings quite a bit. It was like the nic was calling to me, but it was standing poolside and I was four feet underwater...I knew it was there, and I could hear it, but I couldn't understand what it was saying. I'm now right smack in the middle of the 30-40 day "blahs," which suck in their own unique way.
Did your doc have you start taking the Chantix a week before your quit date, or did you start on Day 1?
PM anytime if you want to compare notes.
