I
thought this information was pretty cool, I'm at the stage where all of
the nicotine is out of my body. Good riddance! I'm also glad the levels
of carbon monoxide in my blood are dropping. That just sounds
disgusting.
So far I haven't had any serious
cravings during the day but at night I constantly dream about smoking
and tobacco. Last night I was so restless, then I couldn't get the
thought of smoking out of my head. The funny thing is, I've gone a day
without smoking before and it didn't bother me. But since I "can't" have
it, I want it even more. I see the crazy tricks my mind is playing on
me; it isn't going to work.
