Still here - nearing the 3 completed months mark and Champix free (for the past 5 days). I just stopped as I was forgetting to take the pill altogether.
BUT - I suffered the most massive urge since day 1 - two days ago. I am not sure if it is Champix-related (i.e. I am not on it) or just psychosomatic (i.e. I know I am not on it).......but it was really bad - I kept thinnking obsessively that I wanted to smoke for over 24 hours constantly with no respite. Do not get me wrong, not fancying it as such but wanting it bad - makes sense?
I kept arguing with myself (used the "so-what?" technique) and am glad it is now over. Today I am still not smoking though.
Hope you are all well xxx

Hi Cat - Yes it does - same thing happened with me when I stopped using the patches two weeks ago - all right now though.

I'm fine - only two days to go and I will have reached 80 days and next Monday 21st I will have done 3 months smoke free - sounds like a prison sentence doesn't it without the bars only with a nicer outcome.:D
Glad to hear your still not smoking even after finishing the Champix. Well done.:):cool:
Hope everyone else is okay. Haven't heard from dave08, lorraine, debsblair, hadders, want2win, lizzyrob or bitwobbly lately (unless I have missed some posts).
So glad you are doing so well! Also relieved it isn't just me (the massive big urge) it almost felt like I was back to day 1 again eeek! We are stars
I am sure the others are lurking. Where are you all?

It certainly did feel like Day 1 again then but we are over it now and may it long continue (not day 1, but the fact we are over it). Hope that makes sense:rolleyes:
It feels really strange on here today. Seems like we are the only two in Team 10 who are posting at the moment. I could be wrong though.
