Hi all,

This is my 12th day on champix and my 3rd day not smoking, I was really really worried about day 3 as in the past day 3 was always the worst day of not smoking but i have to say I feel very very good, only a few times have i really wanted to smoke but generally its been fine, in fact most of my family have said I have been happier today than last night when i was quite snappy!

If you have read my past posts (day 9 on champix) I have not found champix a breeze but today i have had no side effects and feel like the drug is finally really working, Still have cravings but there few and mild. Yes i still think about it but now its more about how well i have done!!!!

I say hang on in there everyone, if can trust me anyone can, i have a seriously addictive nature and smoking was my 1st love but now day by day i am feeling better and better and excepting more and more that i am now a non smoker.......

I am very happy today....

Much love all, Chrisps x x x

Hurrah for you...

This is fantastic news and hopefully this burst if enthusiam will carry you even further. You've jumped your own personal hurdle so I'm sure it will be easier from here on in. The main thing is that you sound determined. I also struggle on day 2/3, this is when I normally crack and I have been known to cry (embarrasing admission). Come tommorow I'll be testing my own hurdle leaping capabilities!

I decided to start reading that e-book today that everyone has been recommending on the WhyQuit site called Never Take Another Puff and aside from being an easy read, it makes a tremendous amount of sense and is a great source for reinforcing your newfound beliefs should the doubts try to waver you.

You're doing great... keep going!

Hi Chrisps :D

I'm pleased to hear that you feel happier on day four as the champix really gets to work for you

Also pleased the craves are few and mild I slao found this was the case I think I only ever had one really bad crave the whole time

Love

Thanks!

Oh - this is so good to hear Chrisps. Day 11 of Champix, day 1 of not smoking for me and I too have read that day 3 is the worst. It's so reassuring to know that it's actually OK.

I look forward to sharing your experience!:)

Thanks for letting us know - and best wishes for the rest of the week.

Day 14 tomorrow.........

Hi all,

Day 14 on champix tomorrow and i will be picking up my next lot of meds!!! Today is my 4th day of not smoking and i honestly feel great, i am surprised at how good i actually feel!

I have only just got home today from being away for the weekend and so being out of my routine was really good for me, Going back to work tomorrow and i know it will be a tuff one. I work on my own and so im used to popping out when ever i want to but now its a massive part of my work routine that i won't be doing!

Today however i have actually not even wanted a cig, I was in the car coming home knowing that there was a cig or 2 still here but knowing that really did not stir any want to spark them up and after 4 days this was a big surprise! I got home emptied the whole contents in the bin along with anything else that is connected to smoking and here i am and i still feel great.

I honestly am so glad/grateful to champix, for me so far it really has been that magic pill (now anyway, the start was a bit ruff!) Yes i have had to do stuff to take my mind of it, cravings are still there but in flutters rather than punches!?!?

One day at a time tho and here at the end of day 4/13 we shall see what day 14/5 will bring!!!

Cheers all, Big love and plenty of will!!!!

Hi coaltyt,

I wish you all the luck and support in the world, Give champix a good go, give it time to really kick in if it hasn't already for you! It took a while for me but know it really must be doing the job:D

Feel free to share your experience, happy to talk it out with you anytime.

Good luck,

Chrisps :D
