Checking in with my Junebugs, feeling strange these last few days. I had such an easy time quitting, and out of nowhere around day 50, I feel like I really want to smoke. No craves, just wants. Late the other nite I was coming home from a concert alone, and stopped at the store for some milk. And it hit me. I'm alone, its late, I could buy a pack and no one would know. It really freaked me out. I bought only the milk, and felt better the next day.
And then the rest of the weekend was exactly the same. I just plain wanted one. I stopped at Dad's today to use the pool and there were empty butts in the ashtray outside. I actually found myself looking longingly to see if any were long enough for a puff. It wasn't a crave at all, I just wanted it.
On the up side, my hubby said to someone last nite that he didn't know whether to buy a pack of cigs or nicorette gum. I guess he's really thinking about quitting. I am absolutely not pressuring him, but it could definitely get easier around here.
Oh, I forgot. My dad just picked up a prescription for a new drug thats out to quit smoking, I have no idea what it is. I don't want to pressure him, but I want him to be prepared to quit, he's failed so many times before. He wants a magic pill, but won't work to figure out his triggers, etc.
Do you think I should buy him the Allen Carr book? I haven't read it, but so many people here think its the best. Let me know what you think.
