day 1!

[nsd_user663_7583]

Well i have done it! I have stopped smoking today! I am on day 9 of Champix and ciggies didn't hit the spot during the last few days, though I kept trying...

Have been really anxious about quitting as it is not my first attempt ( More like 4th!) and have always become very down and thinking that life would be normal again if I could just have a ciggie. Have done lost of reading this time, taking the Champix and am now actually feeling very, very excited! I don't smoke any more and never will again!!! Bit surpised I feel like this I am a born worrier! Has anyone else had this?

Have got to pick up my son from playschool now and can't wait to get out and smell the fresh air!!! Whats wrong with me?

Any advice would be very much appreciated, really feeling very strange... but happy

Hi and well done, to feel so good on day 1 can only be good. Some people find stopping smoking easier than others you maybe one of those lucky people. Just don't count your chickens yet, one day at a time and keep letting us know how you are getting on.

Hi Sas

It's good to hear you feel really good on day one I also used champix and found it a huge help and like you had tried many times before to stop

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

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 sympathising 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

This link is good for the psychological part of quittingwhyquit.com/whyquit/A_Sympt...

Post often to let us know how you're doing, to rant, rave have a moan whatever you like pretty much anything goes on here

Love

1st day how exciting. I started out on Champix and without it I would never have given up, however it does take a lot of will power too.

You are doing really well, and stats show it takes on average 4 attempts to give up so do not worry about that.

This is a great thread regarding Champix:
