Day 4

[nsd_user663_8518]

Hi all,

Checking in on day 4, back at work. I couldn't believe all the snow we got this morning. I keep hoping winter is over...

Anyway, yesterday went fine all in all. I have noticed myself being a bit cranky and last night I cried at a film, which is not usual for me. I wonder how much of this is normal (there are some things going on in my life as well), how much is champix... I don't really expect an answer though.

There is no perfect time to quit smoking. There will always be stress or lack of stress, parties or lack of parties. The best time to quit is now.

I feel fine today, am wondering when/if I am going to cough a lot as I heard this was a side effect of quitting, and when I will feel like a non-smoker. Right now I just feel like a smoker who keeps forgetting to smoke. Strange.

Hiya,

Well done you on day 4 Brilliant!

I have not used Champix but I do know I cried a lot more than normal for the first 3 weeks (still have my moments!) and the lovely people on here assured me it was normal so I will pass that on to you. It really is normal.

I too have had lots going on and if I knew what was coming a week into my quit I don't think I would have gone ahead with it but I am so glad I did. The fact I stayed quit during a time of lots of stress shows me that I don't really need it to cope with life's challenges.

I haven't had the cough either and am on week 7. Think its different for everyone.

Marg gave me great advice early on which was - if you feel like crying then cry, if you feel really tired have a nap. I guess just going with it makes it a bit easier.

Keep it up and I promise you will soon feel like a non smoker
