Right now the hardest part is finding focus during the day but its coming back. I'm already in a better mood and looking forward to being my old self again, as is my fiancé. Thanks for the comment and encouraging words! Thanks Tory! Right now the hardest part is finding focus during the day but its coming back.

I forced myself to spend time with friends and find things to do to keep myself busy (cleaning, organizing and budgeting what to do with the money I was saving) even if I did feel numb. But mostly, I missed the cigarettes. It was hard for me to get excited about going out with friends or having a cup of coffee without a cigarette (and yes, I normally did get excited about having a cup of coffee!). Taking things one day at a time, I had faith that things would get better. And they did. After you ween yourself off the Chantix, your body will begin to create Dopamine naturally and you'll be able to find joy in things you never imagined with out cigarettes! And you have more time to be happy because you're not spending time with a cigarette. Don't worry! It won't be like this for long! Just keep with it. I found this to be the case for me, too!
