Stop Smoking Day 42 - Friday February 22nd 2008

I didn't write anything about yesterday, I never really got round to it. As it's now early evening on Friday, I thought I may as well write in today's entry and then finish it off later.

I've been feeling a bit down again over the last couple of days. Not sure what it is exactly, but I've just been feeling miserable. Also I can't seem to be bothered to do anything and I think I'm being a bit short with people. Sometimes I just feel like telling the whole world to **** off! Can anyone relate to that? It's not a very nice way to feel.

I can totally relate to the irritability Pete. It really is a symptom of the withdrawl from smoking. What a insideous drug that damn nicotine. Even after it has cleared out of our bodies, psychologically we still have these symptoms.

I remember years ago when my Dad quit, he was so nasty and short with everyone my Mom told him he should start smoking again! But, eventually he got over it. And so, we shall too. No matter how subtle the cues to smoke again are, you have to keep your resolve to not give in to the temptation. I think it is just these types of symptoms that leads many back to smoking. More "clean" time is what we need.

This too shall pass!

I'm not sure if it's the smoking or the Champix that's causing the depression. I would have thought if it was the smoking, it would have passed ny now. I'm thinking of talking to my doctor about it.
