Estella, I am SUPER IMPRESSED with how much you've cut down smoking, after smoking so much for 14 YEARS!!! Hats off to you!!
The last post mentioned wellbutrin helped him/her stopped smoking, I've honestly heard and read that that method SERIOUSLY works!! OF course, you have to pay for doctor/prescriptions possibly, but from another source, I know it works. Not personally, but a friend. And like I said, I've read quite a bit of literature in my days.
Another thing I'm gonna recommend is why not buy a pack of that nicorette gum or something?? I'm not sure how much it is, but it may be less than a doctors visit...
I think what happens when you quit smoking is its just like "what do i do with this hand now??!!" You know, like when you drive, when you go on walks, when you do anything...your hand feels empty. And also, i imagine you miss the act of just smoking something in general. You've obviously developed an oral fixation (all cigarette smokers have) and it just feels weird to not be smoking!!
I know that for a fact, because I smoked for only 3 years straight, but i smoked a good 15 cigs a day for those 3 years. I quit for about 7 months or so, even with a heavy opiate addiction, and recently (2 months ago) started smoking again after I joined a methadone clinic. I think its because i'm surrounded by smokers and the medicine actually brings back the mental need and want to smoke....plus it kind of ups the buzz every once in awhile...
but anyway, you're going to be hacking your lungs out for a good long time. Its gonna be real thick and "chunky" in a way...and real yellow and brownish colored...
I advise you get some mucinex or some equivalent equate brand mucinex...it'd help with all that crap in your throat. Having all that stuff in your trachea can lead to infections as well.
Hope i could help ya!!
