Update
Because I know y'all are just chompin' at the bit to know how this whole medicine/stop smoking thing is going - I'll give ya what cha want. An update.
Ran into a bit of a problem with side effects. Basically.....they are kicking my ass. I had to stop taking the meds during the last day of the meetings which kinda screwed up my schedule.
But I do think I've fingured out how this medicine is supposed to work. The beauty of this stuff is you don't enjoy smoking AND you lose weight. A TwoFer!! WooHoo. Well, it's easy to lose weight when you're vomiting all the time. And, let me tell you, cigarettes don't taste so good after that either. Yep, judging from my reactions I'm thinking that how the whole thing works.
Well, and the not sleeping well at all is not so good either. Yeah, they say smoking ages a person. THIS stuff will put 10 years on ya easy.
Seriously, I'm back on the meds and reset my quit date to one week from today. October 17th. Kinda fitting as it's the day after my father's birthday and all.
Anyway - that's where that is. I'm still quiting. It's just not as "nice and easy" as I had hoped. But then again, what in life ever really is?

Tough road, I know.
Maybe, I need to start smoking, so I can reap that weight loss benefit when I stop...
