I'm a bit antsy, teeth grindy, and a bit over expressive with a tendency toward utter fatigue! That of course makes perfect sense. NOT! Nothing like bit of contridiction! I did get sleep last night but also had a Valium and was waking from 4am onwards!
My sore throat and allergies from the weekend have cleared up and the stinky smell is all gone. I still have a slight yuk taste in my mouth but it's getting better.
Things that have helped so far... Breathing techniques have come in handy, just to take off the edge, and I am very glad I haven't had too much caffeine either - just one coffee this morning and I've had a few mouthfuls of tea this afternoon. Water was great this morning, but I've resorted to M&Ms right now! Lol Both seem to give my mouth something to do to relieve the aggravation. I've kept up my food, including some fruit juice to try and keep my blood sugar as stable as possible ( these M&Ms won't help but hey, they are yummy!).
I think the funniest thing is the psychological game I'm playing with hubby... I've been dancing round acting like I'm completely normal, saying patches are for pussies and bragging that I've quit and it's so easy - and he is convinced I've got a packet stashed somewhere! It's keeping him motivated because he wants to 'win' and by pretending to be all blasé and cool about quitting, I'm believing it which is making it 100% easier!
Negatives... I'm still battling occasionally with the 'but I want to smoke' thoughts every now and then. I'm beginning to see through them as my brain trying to rationalise the need to relieve the tension it feels. I'm hoping this feeling starts to ease now. I am dreading that it might get worse! I'm sure I've read Day 3 is the worst but I guess I still have 24hrs before I hit that!
Looking forward to moving on and doing my budget without any smokes to buy!
