Good morning all
Well my first tablet is down the hatch. I got up had a cup of tea and my normal cig, had some breakfast which is so alien to me, the only time i eat breakfast is when i'm on holiday lol, but managed a bowl of special k and a slice of toast.
I'm planning to go to the local sports centre today and sign up for membership as i think this would be a good distraction come the 6th Oct...my quit date
So far do good!
Enjoy your day

You will gain a lot from reading about the addiction to nicotine in the websites at the end of my signature, there you will find tips and stories to help you understand what is happening to you.

Good luck on your quit, hope all goes well on the champix, i don't know anything really about champix, but wish you well on this method.
Day 1 for me too - together we will succeed
Hi there all , i too have decided to quit i am 32 and have smoked for 18 yrs not really into becoming a stop smoking advertising statistic in the future i want my health back and a prolonged future with my wife and children .
Day 1 of the Champix pretty apprehensive about this myself read lots of stuff on side effects but only 12 weeks and its gonna be worth it .
First pill down with my lunch had a little kip and woke up feeling a little bit lathargic and dosey but that just maybe me .
Quit day October 3rd - Lets have it .
Simon
Welcome lilac and largie,
Well done for taking that leap off the springboard. We're all in the same boat here and I don't think that my quit would be the same without this place. Good luck.

Hi Lila and Simon,
welcome to the forum! So you are both on day 1 Champix.... you'll be quit buddies then This is a great place to get support and give it back as well....... without this forum I can honestly say I'd be smoking right now. So good luck on this journey to both of you!
Hi Simon and Lilac
Well done making the decision to quit a major step in itself
The champix will really help with the quit just give it time to really kick in usually around the end of the first week but sometimes a little longer OK
Below is my standard welcome and advice post which I try and give all new members
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
