so. i spoke too soon.
the withdrawals have hit head on. insane nausea and shakes. i strapped on a patch and helen gave me a damp cloth for my head. after a nap, lots of deep breaths, and two hours to let the nicotine seep into my body, i feel relief.
holy shit.
this sucks.
don't tell anyone, but i too am trying to quit! i've been smoking for 11 years, and tricked myself into thinking that smoking clove cigs is not really smoking, so it was ok. well, six years later and i am hooked. but tomorrow it will be one week, and while there have been numerous times in the last week that i've wanted to smoke, i haven't done it. i figure if i am willing to pump all these hormones into my body while ttc and unergo painful testing, i have to at least give up my vice in order to make my body a receptive place. but, none of my blog friends know about this...and well they may find out of they read your blog, but it's more important to give and receive support than hide. GOOD LUCK!
