Feeling Funky Again

So I just had a conversation with hubby and he and I both are feeling a little funky again. I'm having some vision "disturbances" and so is he. These are manifested by not being able to focus like I am used too. It's hard to explain but it isn't really blurry, just more like when you are staring at something and you are lost in space. Problem is, we aren't lost in space. (Or at least I'm not...as far as hubby..well..that is debatable!) I don't remember if I experienced this the last time I took it so I wanted to clarify that this was a side effect of the Chantix. It is. Problem is, no one can say if it is a side effect of the medicine or if it is a side effect of nicotine withdrawal.

I just smoked the 3:30 cigarette. I was actually able to smoke at 3:00 but I forgot. That is a good thing, right?

Chantix takes the pleasure out of smoking. You don't get that initial high that comes from having your addiction satisfied. It doesn't taste good anymore either. It's just smoke. Even cutting back as much as I have I am beginning to get my smell back. That is good and that is bad. I realize how bad cigarettes smell and I am wearing it.

I'm off to the shower!
