Getting off

So I am getting off the Chantix train. Today I have hit the wall as far as this drug goes. I feel very 'off'. My body feels like it has been pummeled by many very burly men. My joints feel completely un lubricated. Like bone on bone. From my toes to the top of my spine. Sleep. My god I am drained of all energy but I can't have a sound nights sleep. Overboard dreams or straight up Grand Theft Auto type nightmares.
I am done. I have to get off.
I am glad I am not smoking, don't get me wrong. I wish I was able to do it with out this drug is all.
I am going to stay what I am now, a non-smoker.
To any one that wants to quit look at every option other than drugs. Use only as a last resort.
But quit any way you can.

Back in the saddle again.

Update on the whole no smoking and biking saga. I was doing very well. Coming up to 6 months quit and had started biking to work. I still had cravings but was hanging tough.
Then I some how gave myself a couple of hernias. Had to stop biking due to discomfort. Got to the point I wasn't able to do much of anything. Got a case of the blues and started smoking again to help pass the time.
I had the surgery and have recovered as much as I think I ever will.
I quit smoking again with the help of Chantix. I am coming on 3 months quit. It has been much harder this time but I'm getting though it.
I feel pretty good so I am going to start pedaling my fat ass to the studio on Mr. Bean.
Wish me luck.
Oh my goal of riding Ragabri has been moved to 2013.
