Glad to say that I've now made it to day 3.

Last night got a bit tough for a while... but at least it meant that I got the ironing done... and hoovered the house from top to bottom..... and polished.....!!!

Day time is fine while I'm at work.... it's the endless evenings when my brain feels free to rebel..... contingency plan for tonight is to clear all the clutter out of my wardrobe...

..... and when Nicodemon starts whispering.... bestsmileys.com/notlistenin...

Another day down, well done again. Found today easier than yesterday but not going to get complacent know that the strongest urges just come out of nowhere. Gosh can't quite believe it's three whole days without smoking that's sixty fags and almost twenty pounds. My house is also looking pretty clean:D.

Hi crowbag

I've found the side effects with the Champix have lessened over time. The dreams aren't quite as vivid as they were and I'm sleeping better as time wears on. I'm not feeling as sick with them as I was either. Just stick with them.... I'm sure it will soon ease off!

Well done on your quit so far!!! You know when the day has come to quit on Champix when you start thinking that you can't stand the thought of having a fag because it makes you feel so ill when you smoke! I have to keep reminding myself how ill I felt when I had a cigarette to reassure myself that I really don't want so much as a sly puff now!

Day 8 for me now and feeling good!!! :D
