Chantix: Day 4

The cravings aren’t appearing as much.  In fact, if I stay away from smoking behavior, they’re barely there at all.  Unfortunately, I still feel compelled to go out and smoke with my “smoke buddies” at work.  Or if I’m really bored.  I doubt there’s a pill that conquers boredom.

I’m definitely going to have to stock up on gum, or some other low calorie mouth mover for when I get in my car first thing in the morning, and other ‘ritualistic’ behaviors.  The dry mouth is over.  The nasty farts still linger, figuratively and literally.  I’ll be taking my first second dose tonight after dinner.  Around 7:30pm I guess.  I’ll be interested to see whether the elevated dosage can get me through a stand up show without smoking.

Considering that I won’t be drinking, it’s possible, but then again there’s the ever present foe, boredom, to consider.

We will see.  If you see me smoking at the Comedy Cabaret in Doylestown, PA tonight, feel free to smack it out of my hand.  Just don’t burn yourself, Stupid.
