Well, I tried to quit smoking in 2012 2 times and failed miserably. Why? Looking back I had been going through Premature Ovarian Failure and Peri-Menopausal Rage. Lovely.. I didn't know ! I thought it was my family who were being unsupportive but it was me. 😞

 

Anyways, I went to my GYN and my hormones are finally under control. Thank God! 

 

I had started Chantix and today was my 4th day: two pills a day once in the morning and one at night time. I took my am pill after a small breakfast around 10am. By 1pm, I was feeling extremely sleepy and tired; I was making mistakes at work. So, I took an energy pill thinking it was my afternoon lazy mood lol but an hour later I just couldnt stop yawning! Well, at 330pm I took my lunch break and got up form my chair, proceeded to my car and realized that I felt as if I was "floating". Not good. I drove to BK for lunch and while at a red light I saw my speedometer go up and down! Impossible! I'm at a red light! What the hell is happening to me! Then I realized- hallucinations- Chantix. Oh no. Needless to say I took another energy pill to see if I can wake my brain up and left work 2 hours early. Drove slowly to my home and now I am upset. 

 

I threw out the damn Chantix away and I really wanted to keep my "quit date" which was supposed to Tuesday- (chantix allows you to smoke for the first 7 days) and I figured, "Why not Monday as my quit date?" 

 

And so it is. Monday is my quit date. I am so done with Chantix and feeling tired right now. I just want to feel normal again. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow the Chantix is out of my system. I do feel that my downfall back in 2012 was my hormonal imbalance. god it was terrible. 2 years of making my family miserable.. So, this time around I don't see why I can't succeed. 

 

Peace,
