I decided on Friday that i was gonna have to just pick a day as i didn't think my Champix were working!!! I'd been on them 10 days and was getting worried....so i decided that that was enough, gonna do it now.
Well its my third whole day of not smoking and man am i chuffed with myself..the best bit is the tablets have obviously been working all along and i have to say that so far, it's not been anywhere near as bad as i'd anticipated. I've had a few moments where i thought i could do with a smoke but it was gone as soon as it came. I tried nrt a few weeks ago and all i could think about was cigarettes, dreaming about them and everything...climbing the walls etc.
I'm enjoying this state and i'm very optimistic so well done to all of you for staying off the cigs.....we can do this.

Yep i too am on champix and was due to stop on 11 march, however ran out of tobacco on day nine and thought 'WHY NOT' ... and here i am on day three..
I use a tip i found on forum.. 'no way out'. . when , about four or five times a day , those little suckers rear their ugly head...
my mind just snaps them shut with ... i will give myself "NO WAY OUT" to use them again... EVER..
it really is a buzz to beat the little suckers isn't it..
i have never considered it was my need to suck them.. you know that hand to mouth thing... for me it was my time out... now i take time out without the cigarettes.. and no more sucking , puffing and blowing out required...
i have given myself permission to take time out.. the cigarette is no more an excuse to take time out...
Its great to meet another in a similar point in time dippy doris.. and many thanks for your post which is giving me a spur to keep on going..
