OK I was dreading the thought of writing this today. Yesterday went well. I felt great. The sensation to smoke is minimal still but I did smoke 7 of them. Out of habit and out of boredom. When your used to smoking you are not sure of what to do with yourself. My smoking has become more like a hit here a hit there. The Chantix is doing magic when it comes to withdraws and the need to smoke.
The down side is what happened to me last night. For one I bought a new pillow so there was no argument from the new one. I did have a very hard time getting to sleep. Well I don't even know if you can call it sleep. At around 2am not have fallen asleep yet I started catching a glimpse of a shadow run through the room. By 3am there were little gremlin sized creatures running around my house. I went into my 9 year olds room to be sure he wasn't up running around. Nope he was fast asleep. Now if you decide to use Chantix be aware that these gremlins can be seen and heard. When they ran by I swear I heard a whoosh. I ran around to see if I could see one but they are too fast. Its as though they mock you as they slip in and out of the shadows. They taunt you to catch them. By 4am I was exhausted, yet I was concerned. If I lay down close my eyes and attempt to drift to sleep would I open them to one of these gremlins in my face? I knew this was caused by the Chantix so I closed my eyes and when I opened them it was 8am. I feel like a zombie today. I have to do something to sleep tonight so I'm going to keep my bulldog with me tonight. Let one of those gremlins sneak around while shes on watch.
