No cigarettes for lunch

[THERESA]

I have smoked for a very, very long time. It is hard to explain to people that have never smoked how hard it is to quit and how addicting it is.

I recently started taking Chantix (http://www.chantix.com/content/Chantix_Branded_Homepage.jsp?setShowOn=../content/Chantix_Branded_Homepage.jsp&setShowHighlightOn=../content/Chantix_Branded_Homepage.jsp)(paid for by my job) to help me quit. It is slowly beginning to work and I have cut way down. Today is the first day I have gone my whole lunch at work without going down for one.

Good job :yay: . Keep it up. Also wear a rubber band around your wrist, when you feel like a Cig, pull it and snap. :gah:

Congrats! I'm trying to cut back on my coffee consumption :coffee:. I only made 6 cups today, instead of my regular 8.
What is Caffeine? (http://www.smokefreesociety.org/NewsClip/Caffeine.html) Caffeine is an addictive drug. Among its many actions, it operates using the same mechanisms that amphetamines, cocaine, and heroin use to stimulate the brain.
When I don't get caffeine, I get horrible headaches. I want to take my finger, jab it into my eye and pop my eyeball out to relieve the pressure.

Or, I down 1-2 cups of coffee and it's gone. So, I understand withdrawal. Good luck!

I am not a caffiene drinker. I do have to make coffee for hubby every morning though or he gets one of those caffeine headaches. My favorite drink is lemon propel gatorade water.

Doing better than yesterday. I didn't go down before lunch as usual and I am halfway through my lunch almost and haven't gone down. (not even dying for one like I normally would be.) ironic choice of words there :p

Anyhoo, I don't even want one right now.
