Ok, so I'm on day 4 of quitting smoking for good.
I don't mean a short break (I do that most Disney trips, as I don't like to smoke around the kid, and I'd sneak out after she was asleep and smoke by the lake at CBR or Pop, but not during the day)...
I mean quitting. I am a pack to a pack and a half a day smoker, and after some health issues last year, and earlier this year, I have decided enough is enough. None of those health issues were smoking related, but it doesn't help.
So, Tuesday, I went to the doc and we'd talked about quitting before. She gave me a prescription for Chantix. I must say, after 4 days, it's working fine. I feel no urge to smoke...however, I still do (she told me this is expected, habit vs addiction, and to give it a few weeks before it goes away)...
Anyhow, my question is this.
I've had a terrible time sleeping. I can't go to sleep. I've tried warm milk, even sleeping pills, and I can't seem to fall asleep.
My GP said that I could have these issues, specifically in the first few weeks of quitting, so I'm not worried about it medically, but it's very annoying.
Has anyone else been down this road? Do you have any advice?
