What an exciting journey, yeah, writer?
One thing i didn't do, but wish I had, was look at my smoking patterns when I was still smoking. I figured I was always smoking, so there was no pattern. Now I know differently. It would have helped me prepare for some of the triggers a bit better.
I've been taking chantix for this quit, and it was probably a thousand times easier than any previous quit I've tried. I haven't had one single puff, which is a BIG change from other times. As for the sleepiness thing...for me it seems to go in waves...some days I have a ton of energy, other days I feel like I could sleep forever. One thing I do notice tho, is that upon first waking I generally feel "not quite with it", but that usually passes quickly. I figure it is a small price to pay for being free of this nasty addiction. I was very spacy during the first week or so, but that has passed. Now it's just age-related...lol
Keep preparing, I think you'll do just fine, and if you need any help, just let us all know
