Can't believe it. Doing good so far!! I can't wait to visit the family in Canada in May they will go into shock. I mean, sad to say but I've been smoking most of my life. Shameful but like others started at 13/14.

Thank you all for your great support.

Another smoke free day!!! :)

LOL Breezy! I'd have to say I'm 50/50. Spend part of the year here and part in Canada..

Woooo great work! :D

Thanks Talien, glad to know things are good with you!

As for the champix are you going to take the two a day for 3 months? I kept forgetting the evening one, so I'm now on 1 a day but I seem to be fine so they said that's okay for me to continue on it. Obviously it is enough for my "receptors". Feel like a bug when I hear that word, I have receptors,LOL

I think I'm just going to take the 2 a day. I think I could come off them now, but the doc wants me to stay on them. I see my Psychiatrist (Bipolar) next friday and as he's the only constant doc I have I'll talk to him about it then.

He pulled me right off them last time, so who knows, maybe this time we can wean off and not bother with the rest.

Though the pharmacist says that I should stay on them the full 12 weeks...

I don't know. I feel like I've broken the habit.

I've been through a variety of different situations without smoking, and I no longer have any nicotine in my system.

And I'm trying to break my chocolate habit (which could prove to be harder!)

So I don't know. I don't want to jeapordise my quit in any way, but I think I'm strong enough, and the less drugs I'm on the happier I'll be!!!

Hi Talien, good that you are seeing someone regularly. I was going to stop them as well because I feel like it's done. However, I discovered that the receptors take awhile to shut down and stop asking for nicotene. As this is my first quit, and I can't believe I have quit, I'm going to keep going for awhile, better safe than sorry. However, things are different for everyone. See what the doc says.

I know what you mean about the chocolate, this week I seem to have started the eating thing. Thought I had escaped it as I did not really eat more the first two weeks. I'm going to try and be a bit careful however, I've decided one battle at a time. :)

Great job, keep going!!

Day 23 and urges?????

Almost at the one month point and I must say it's been easy! Compared to what I've read here I've really had no problems, with the exception of a few urges day 3-6 otherwise I've been good.

Someone tell me why today, I keep thinking of it? It's like out of the blue I want one. All this time, I've been so happy and pleased and today I don't know why. It's about day 24, is this normal??:confused:

hello!

How are you all doing? It's been awhile. Took awhile to get internet here but now we're back online.

Just thought I'd check in and say hello and Yes! I am still not smoking. Passed the month mark and loving it. Went to a restaurant the other day and always used to sit outside at the tables to smoke. When she asked, smoking or non smoking, I surprised myself by answering Non smoking, without even thinking about it.

Hope you're all well and hanging in there!! :)

Me too!

Hi Valian

So am I bipolar!

I can guarantee your doc would tell you to carry on with the champix for the full prescribed time.

I found it very effective; the only problem being that I have had relapses since so they will no longer prescribe it for me.

Best wishes:)
