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.

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.
