Its been 18 days with no smoke!

I like being a non-smoker.

Bananas Rock!

Bananas are the perfect packaged fruit. Just think about it, it has a thick wrapper with a little handle at the top to open it. And when you do open it the wrapper splits down in to 3 equal parts, plus the wrapper is biodegradable. The curved shape is ergonomically shaped so the it does not cause distress to you wrist while consuming it. I think god spent a little more time making bananas.

I have been eating a lot more fruits since I stopped smoking. Well, I never ate fruits when I smoked. Its amazing how you become healthier, not just by quiting smoking but by eating better and working out more.

Life is good!

It has been a week now!!!!

Well I have not had a smoke in a week now and it feels great. I can breath a lot better and I feel better. I have not really wanted to smoke but once or twice, so that good. Well thats it for now not much else to say. I hope I keep it up.

What happens after I quit Chantix?

So whats going to happen when I stop taking Chantix?

Is it going to be like when I stop smoking cold turkey?

Their has to be withdraws when you stop. I just hope its not to bad. I did some research and some people have to ween their self off by taking smaller doses everyday. but I was thinking of taking it for just 4 weeks not the 12 weeks chantix suggest. I think the least amount of time I am on this stuff the better, I can't keep sleeping all the time and having crazy dreams every night! I just want it to lessen the first withdraw symptoms of smoking then I think I can handle it after that.

I am sleeping so much!

Well its the 5th day I have been taking Chantix and I am sleeping so much. I thought it was because I went skiing last week and I was just tired. But I have been back for a week now and I am all ways sleeping. I have been sleeping around 12 hours every night, this is crazy because I never sleep more than 7-8 hours even if I am really tired. I just woke up 2 hours ago and I want to go back to sleep, whats going on.

But on the other hand I only smoked 3 ciggs yesterday and when I did smoke it was like I was smoking a carrot, in that I mean I don't get the "ah" when I smoke. The smoke does not do any thing to me.

I had another bad dream last night. It was pretty crazy and so long. It felt like I was having the same dream all night, so weird. I hope all of this is worth it and I stop smoking for good. Maybe this is like hazing and once I quit theres no way I will start back again after what I went through.

Strange Dreams

Pfizer was not lying when they said that the most common Chantix side effects articulated by Pfizer like a mantra are nausea, sleep disturbance (trouble sleeping, changes in dreaming), constipation, gas and vomiting. I have been having the strangest dreams, they started the first night I took Chantix. Last night, the dream I had seamed very long and was very disturbing and a little violent. But I was watching the True channel about violent criminals robbing and fighting people before I went to sleep, so maybe that had something to do about the violent dreams. But I can not remember the last time I had a bad dream, really I don't have many dreams or remember the dreams at all.

I have tried to quit smoking many times before and have never had these symptoms. Its only the 3rd day and my sleep has not been very good so I hope this stops soon so I can get some good rest.

Its has been 3 days now

Its been 3 days since I started Chantix and I can all ready tell its working. Monday was the first day and I just smoked 3 cigarettes, that pretty good when I smoke 10 to 15 a day. Tuesday I just had 2 and I am filling good about finely stopping! I had a chest cold last week so that has helped alot as well. I plan to document this process because I have read about Chantix being dangerous and I would like people to know what I was thinking if this drug does make me go crazy and jump off a bridge or something.
