So, here I am 65 days smoke free. My husband and I went on the Champix program and we finished taking them about a week ago. Champix is amazing in that it really does take away the cravings for nicotine but now that we are done, I feel like mama bird just pushed me out of the nest and I have to try and fly by myself. It's a weird feeling because even though I am not craving the nicotine, I still want a cigarette.
What I would like to know is when will I start to feel like a nonsmoker? Right now I just feel like a smoker who hasn't had a cigarette in 2 months. Someone please tell me that day will come when I can say I'm a nonsmoker and mean it!
If it wasn't for my incentive plan, I might have gone back to smoking already. You see, we are putting away our "smoke" money every week, without fail, and in 2 years we are going to Australia. My childhood dream come true, and I know that the second I pick up a cigarette, I can kiss my trip good bye. So, it really comes down to what I want more .... and that is to go to Australia. Having that to hold onto might just be what I need to succeed.
