Congratulations! No matter how many attempts it takes you're moving closer to being totally smokefree - how good is that?! Hope your day 1 is going ok, there's quite a lot of 'newbies' around at the moment what with new year so you shouldn't be short of people to chat to.

Hi Andy, welcome and congratulations on deciding to quit. I smoked 40+ a day for 47 years, and quit on 01/01/08. I am on Champix. The 1st 3 days l think are the hardest, but if you come on here and chat when you are having a bad craving, you'll find that by the time you have read a few posts, and maybe posted yourself, it will have passed. Keep strong.

Hi Andy,

I've just made it through day one. This is about my 6th attempt to give up (I think - I've tried so many times). Champix for me this time. I smoked 20+ per day for nearly 34 years.

We can do it - just take an hour at a time, you'll get there.

Well done Andy, for making one of the best decisions ever.

Anytime your having a bad time, just come on here. Even if you have to just rant. We've all been where you are.

Roz - Just goes to show we never give up ! This is my 7th quit (after trying everything going) I'm on Champix too. All other methods didn't suit and I succumbed miserably each time after a couple of weeks. I'll be honest this champix has made the world of difference to me. Ok its not a magic pill and you still need a certain amount of willpower but its working for me! Its been 31/2mths since my last fag!

Karen,

That's so heartening to hear!. I agree, it's unbelievable the difference this time, but I also agree - you still need willpower.

Well done you - someone to look up to and be inspired by - thank you.
