Hi all,

Please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place....I'm new to all this.

I am on day 8 of Champix and my quit date is Sunday 29th March. Encouraged by my son and his girlfriend who both succeeded in stopping smoking back in October 2008. I am so proud of them both, and I envy their lovely fresh smelling clothes and hair !! I want that too. I am determined to quit and I am so glad I have found this forum, I feel I will get lots of support here. Thanks.

Hi Want to stop

Welcome to the forum and well done on the decision to quit possibly one of the most important you will ever make and you will be losing nothing but you will regain control of your life and that has to be good

You will find all the help and support you need on here as we all help each other just like a family we are here for you every step of the way cheering the good days and sympathiseing with the bad but the good far outweigh the bad

Read the posts on here you will find a lot of tips and advice and in the signatures of a lot you will find links to other sites just click on them Here are 2 I find very good to start you off whyquit.com and woofmang.com Read, read and then read some more as the more you read and learn about why you smoked and about your addiction the easier your quit will be

Well done you and following your son & G F I also followed my son and have been quit now for just over 4 months

Hi wantostop welcome, this is a lovely friendly site and so helpful. Keep us upto date how you go on I was wanting to try champix this time round but not to be would be great to see how you get on as if I fail (dont intend to) I would like to try it X

[nsd_user663_4398]

Hey, a big thanks to all for the encouraging replies. That in itself should be a big incentive to beat this addiction. Trendy....I did have a fight on my hands to get Champix. My own GP wouldn't prescribe, saying he wasn't comfortable with side effects!!! However, another GP in the practice was more than happy to let me try it, on the condition I see her every two weeks and record any changes in my mood, etc. However, I believe you go through many mood swings giving up cold turkey anyway, and so I am prepared for it. I will not let my family down, and I hope I can become one of the many NON smokers on this forum. Margareth, I will check out these links thanks. Eileen, fionacox, anniem, trendy.........thank you and keep your fighting spirit. Love J.x
