Okay so I am a new ex smoker , I’m only 15 days into this and I did not go “cold turkey”( I’d have killed someone had I tried that route), I’m using Champix to quit and it is working really good, how ever there are some side effects that I have been experiencing.

Vivid strange dreams, such as being in a city somewhere in the USA chasing someone and jumping from train to train only to lose them in an old building. – I don’t know why I was chasing them but I was hell bent on catching them! and why a city in the USA?? I’m a country bumpkin from Canada!

The Screaming Shit Weasels (the runs) a not to fun side effect of Champix, those I think are gone since yesterday (Thank God!!) my poor arse couldn’t take much more of that abuse! everything I ate within the first 13 days turned instantly into Super High Octane Anal Rocket Fuel! ( mental note to self, lay off the chili peppers when dealing with shit weasels and get familiar with the song Ring of Fire)!!

I also walked around freezing and roasting to death for the first 12 days, very much like being in the throes of menopause, it wasn’t very pleasant and I now have a healthy respect for the ladies who suffer hot flashes and bouts of freezing on a regular basis, I barely survived 12 days, I can’t fathom experiencing that for years at a time.

Now after 15 days I am actually starting to feel a bit different, for starters I have more energy, in fact for the first time in forever I have had energy to spare, it feels good to not be so easily tired , I can do more with my time , how ever I do still have my mid afternoon snooze , though they are starting to be more of power naps than actual snoozes.

My sense of smell is a tad weird now, I can smell a lot better, but I also smell things that just can not be, such as tonight I came home from a walk around the village and to me my house smelled like a Brewery, I could smell beer ! there is no beer in my house.
I get phantom smells , but my sense of smell is getting sharper, I can smell smoke on other people, and quite frankly, it’s not very pleasant to me.

My sense of Taste is really messed up too, Now I must state for the record I am a Meatasaurus (Carnivore) , I love MEAT and have meat with every meal, not always store bought either, I also hunt and fish, there is deer, elk, moose and various fresh water fish and fowl in my deep freeze, I make NO apologies for my love of meat nor for the fact that I hunt either, to each their own.
The point of this is, tonight I BBQ’ed up beef steaks for myself and my family, I cooked them to perfection, they were seasoned just right and were ohhh so tender and juicy, I swear I have never grilled so good in my life as I did tonight, it would have made Bobby Flay proud for sure…. just one teensy tiny problem…..

I took two bites and damn near upchucked! to me it was the foulest tasting hunk of meat I have ever eaten! I asked my wife and our son if it tasted “off” to them? NOPE they were eating it up like there was no tomorrow, so I tried again, nada I actually gagged.. WTF!!!?? I couldn’t eat my beloved steak!! I ate the fried Polenta and sweet potatoes , the green beans (my fav) and the purple carrots just fine, but no matter how hard I tried I just could not eat my steak!! our dog Memphis ate good tonight, he got a $15 steak supper!!

Eggs are another thing I can’t eat right now, to me they taste god aweful, and just 4 days ago I was enjoying a 6 egg omelette, Orange juice is out too (and I love orange juice) it’s too acidy and leaves a bad after taste.

I hope my taste buds settle down and smarten up because I’d rather die than give up eating meat and eggs !!

Anyway that’s it for tonight, remember folks, express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others
