Chantix: Day 9a: Working Well
By Saintless. Filed in Not Smoking |
Today marks the first full 24 hours at the full dose of Chantix – 1 mg twice per day. This morning, I waited about 30 minutes after getting up to have my first smoke. I just didn’t get around to it before then. That’s very unusual for me, to say the least. However, I didn’t wait that long to take the Chantix. I learned the hard way – don’t take it on an empty stomach! I’m not certain that the pill stayed down, actually. Thankfully, the worst of it passed quickly, and though my tummy is still upset, it’s not keeping me down.
Yes, another jammies photo, but it’s Saturday!
I had half a cigarette about 30 minutes after getting up, and then a couple of hours later I had the other half. Since then, I’ve been very tempted to go out and have another. I think it’s because I’m bored. I’d really like to have slept in later than I did, and so I’m tired and being lazy. The internet just isn’t interesting enough to keep my brain occupied, and so the habit is – if I’m bored, I smoke. Although I’ve said I’m not going to make an effort to cut back until this weekend is over, I am going to try to avoid smoking out of boredom. I think I’ll start with taking a shower, and then see if I have motivation for laundry. I may, or may not, post again later today – that probably depends on whether anything else changes.
