Been ok today really. Went to the doc and one of the things I talked about was giving up and how long should I expect to wait for my sinuses, tubes, ear, etc to clear. I've been told approx 3 months before I notice any changes in my head, so roll on 3 months, that's all I have to say on that one!
Haven't felt the need for any lozenges, which I'm pleased about, I'll see if the nurse would like them for her sample stock as I know she doesn't have any 1mg lozenges teehee. I'm going to give the gum and microtabs back to her as well....thanks, but no thanks..
Went shopping today and gosh, is it me, or is it expensive to want to eat healthily? Got plenty of fruit and other things to stick in my moosh should the need to tackle a craving arise! I am worried about putting on weight, especially after I've naturally lost so much over the past few months. This is what encouraged me to go out and buy healthily.
I cannot believe the changes in me so quickly, it is incredible that I can say so far, so (amazingly) good!!

Smoke Free Day 5
Day 5 and still no cigarette! I can't quite believe it myself but I am managing it.
I knew last night was going to be a real test for me, going to the pub to watch the football but you know what, I was fine. I didn't mind being around smokers, maybe part of me knew I was passive smoking, which maybe helped with a craving (not that I remember having one). I do remember looking at some of the people smoking and asking myself if I wanted one and to my surprise the answer that came back was no, not really. Yes, of course I was very happy about that.
I've also not had any lozenges for 2 days as I've decided that I need to go through nicotine withdrawal completely and I've been fine without them.

Here's the latest good news :o)
Well I did have another one on that Thursday night, but didn't go to bed straight away in order that it wasn't the "one before bed" cig. Friday, I had 3 and on Saturday, I had only 2 and have not bought or smoked any cigarettes since then!
Feeling scared that I may slip, but I will do everything in my power to stick with the lozenges as they do seem to help. Not eating or drinking 20 minutes before and after a lozenge is tricky, but clever. It takes a good 90 minutes to dissolve in my mouth, so it's nearly 2.5 hours without the need for a cigarette.
