Still trying to quit smoking

Taking the Chantix did not work out for me. After about 4 or 5 days, I began to feel bad and had no energy while I was taking it. I was having trouble sleeping and began having very vivid dreams that I don’t normally have. I woke up early one morning because I had dreamed that I was scooping someone’s eyeballs out with a teaspoon. I stopped taking the Chantix, and began to feel better the next day.

Greg and I have chosen this coming Friday, February 26, as our quit date. We are going to quit at the same time. I’m not sure yet if I will try to use the patches or not. I would rather go cold turkey and just get all these chemicals out of my system. That is the way I quit last time, and I believe it’s the best way to go. Just deal with the withdrawals and be done with it. I’m planning to drink lots of herbal teas to try and detox my system. We picked a Friday so we would have the weekend to get over the worst part. Hopefully by Monday morning I can come back to work without taking anybody’s head off.
