Well I had a gig last night - this is the time that I am finding it a bit harder to cope as being an entertainer is quite stressful at the best of times! Not too bad a night though - although I have found that my moods are slipping a bit and I feel down more often than I feel up at the moment. This is a bit concerning as nobody wants to watch a miserable singer on a Saturday night - so it has been more of an effort to put a brave face on it - but so far so good!
I have crossed the 2 week line now since I had a cigarette and that does feel like an achievement - although the cravings are often stronger now - this does surprise me as I was hoping it would get easier rather than harder!
I am still on the half dose of Champix and only occasionally get a slight sick feeling about half an hour after taking it - but that does pass if taken with food.
Keep it up all you quitters out there! Let me know how you're getting on.

well done x it cant have been easy to get this far with you both trying to stop.
ReplyDeleteIve had horrendous mood swings, feeling so low and down, easily angered and so depressed in addition to that the amount of cravings I had last week just wasnt funny. Constantly thinking about smoking, dreaming about having a cig and taking one drag on it and being absolutely gutted in my dreams.. bizzare.. but as of today, Im feeling good, not so down, Im coming back out of it, looking for a new job, catching up with things Ive let slide, being so much more positive and Im so happy about it, mood swings still like a rabid dog on drugs but so less frequent but Im easily irritated but you cant win them all.
Not so much eaten more, but my choocolate intake has gone up slightly. But the extra eating and the transference of addiction to food isnt happening as Im very aware of it (Paul McKenna - THANK YOU)
Keep it up Lou and to anyone out there trying to stop, yes its incredibly hard BUT its worth it and its a war you CAN win x
