Almost a month smoke free and still going strong!

I quit taking the Chantix last week after about 5 weeks on it. It just causes me way too many problems with insominia and I didn't like having to take a sleep aid every night.

I still have my moments of strong cravings for a smoke but they pass pretty quickly. Yesterday morning, I had my first cup of coffee and I had this overwhelming desire for a cigarette with it. So I put the coffee down and started focusing on what I would have for breakfast and within a minute the urge was gone.

In a wierd sort of way, some health news in my life is also helping me stay away from cigarettes. I'm facing surgery next month which requires a 6 week recovery period so one more reason to be a non-smoker while going through that experience. Plus not coughing all the time will be a blessing during recovery!
