Well done on taking the leap Ady. My sis has been quit for 2 1/2 weeks with Champix and says it's been her easiest quit attempt to date. Have you tried to quit before?
I'm currently on day 3 using NRT, am all at odds with myself but didn't really think I would get this far if I'm honest!
I've heard lots of good things about Champix, so keep your chin up!!
Good luck, Jane
PS Noticed you're in Brighton, I'm in Worthing - virtual neighbours!!!
stay strong, never give up, stop yourself smoking at all costs, take each day and each hour at a time, slowly but surely it gets better!!!
if every you want a fag, post here FIRST - once you relapse your quit is dead, do not forget that, keep building the hours and days, no retreat, no surrender!
Hi Ady! Today is my quit day too. I have been on Chantix for about 8-9 days and decided last week that after this carton, no more smokes!
I think the Chantix is really helping. It's not been 'as' hard as previous attempts to quit. I do have a few cravings, but I just find something else to do (like post in forums).
Stay strong!

ady :)Hi Ady, l am also on Champix - l should correct that -, l WAS taking Champix.:cool: I started taking them on the 18/Dec/ 07, and had my last cigarette on 31/Dec/07.
After about 2 weeks, l cut down to 1 tablet a day, and on 31/Jan/08, l stopped taking them completely.
Initially, the reason l cut down to 1 tablet a day, was because l kept forgetting to take it. I then found that l didn't actually feel any different, just taking the 1 tablet a day.
When l stopped taking them completely, it was something of an experiment, just to see if l could manage without them. On the 1st day, l said to myself, " if l can't manage without them, no probs., i'll just take a tablet." l didn't find it too bad, and just took it from there. One day at a time, always reminding myself that if l really wanted a cigarette, l always had my tablets to fall back on.
Although some days l have quite bad cravings, they are never enough to make me have a cigarette, or a tablet, and it is nearly 12 weeks now since l quit.
I smoked about 50 a day for 47 years, so if l can do it, l am sure that you will too.
Good luck, and keep coming back on here for support as l think it was the support which l got on here, in the beginning, which helped me the most.

Hi Ady,
Good to see it's easing up a bit.
Jeez, it's not easy sometimes, is it?
i've been stopped seven weeks and just thinking about knocking off the NRT (puffers). Even that's a bit scarey...sometimes you just gotta jump and not look back!
Keep going. You'll have good days and bad days and better days..and sometimes great days!

Hi and Welcome
I am on champix and I to had numerous unsucessful attempts to quit . The one thing I will assure you is that it has worked for me - as I believe it has many others on the forum.
OK the first day was not easy BUT - what I used to do was to focus back on the last cigerette I smoked - that cigerette had made me feel really sick and I have trained my mind to think of that one now - rather then the one's that I thought I enjoyed.
Have you read Allan Carrs book? - I feel it does give support with whatever method you choose.
There is a programme run by champix that is very supportive - they do not avertise it very well and I did not find out about it until after I have quit for two weeks - think its called life rewards - if you know nothing about it I can look for the details for you
regards
Sue
