Operation Quit Smoking - Day 12 - almost 13 :O)

I have to say Chantix is some pretty amazing stuff. Sure I still want to smoke, but, I don't need to. I've gotten through all the firsts last week so not smoking somewhere isn't new anymore. Jana is quite proud of her mommy.
Funny part, I smell you!! I am so surprised by all the people I now know smoke. When I sit at work I can smell them across the room. I do a girl's hair and I know her dad smokes because I smell it in her hair. It's crazy.
Side effect of quitting.....yea there is some. My body is now ridding itself of all the toxins and my face is breaking out like mad. Just when I was wondering what was going because I am never this bad (at least not since I was a teenager), I got an email from Quitnet saying this is what would happen as my body heals itself. OK. So, I guess I can handle it now. But seriously, who knew?
Things have been stressful with the roof but I think all in all I'm doing extremely well. I keep telling myself that one day I'll have 1 but I know I won't. It's just my way to not thinking about forever. I'm sure I am remembering the memory, just like when I went vegetarian in 1993. I still remember loving chicken, I still remember loving pepper steak from the chinese place. Just because I remember something doesn't mean it still is. I read that in a vegetarian magazine years ago. You are remembering the memory and chances are if you tried it, you wouldn't like it.
