Good luck to you too Lisa

Thanks!!!!!!!! You too!!!!!!! xx

Hope you got through the day. My boss just got her script through today for it....hoping it doesn't make her evil.

17 years looks soooooo much better than 28!!!!!

Good luck and great decision!

And so much better than 35:eek: What I say Lisa is do it while your still young wish I done it sooner.

good luck. Maria.

Now BB, you cannot possibly have started smoking before you were born. You are way too young and gorgeous to have started smoking 35 years ago!

And even if you did bet you weren't born in the 50's", like wot i woz!

Xxxx

Oh yes! I was born in the fifties, oh my god that sound old:eek: I think you are younger DD, you can't be as old as me, all that diving you must be really fit.xxx

Wow!! Thanks for all your messages, it's really uplifiting to read all ur stories too!!

Gingerminx, I did get through the 1st day and it was no-where near as bad as i expected so hopefully boss-lady won't be too scary when she stops either?!

Thanks again

Lisa xx

Hello,

I am more or less in the same boat as you, I am new to this forum and just seen there is a whole forum dedicated to Champix.

I have smoked from a very early age, it does look bad when you type it down (shameful i know). I am on Day 25 of Champic and 11 Days Smoke Free. I am not really feeling the effects totally at the moment, not brought up anything nasty like i heard in the horror stories, although, my face has developed into a war zone, spot wise!.

The only side effect i have had is a bit of nausea with the morning pill but i changed it until about 2 hours after breakfast and now no nausea, i understrand about the tiredness though!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Day 2 of no smoking!! (Day 14 on Champix!)

Hmmmm, was feeling so good all day but have really struggled this evening to not light up?!?! Have so much going on at the moment & have had a really stressful day so think thats the main reason :(!!

Also I now have a really sore nose & throat, not sure if this is a side-effect of the meds or maybe just a cold (in which case bad timing right?! lol!!)

Am trying to really look after myself and get better quick as I am bloody working for the next 2 days then going on hols for a week yay :D!!! Am thinking that will do me good too as it'll be a complete change in routine & I am going with all non-smokers too!!!!

Anyway I have managed to resist and am looking forward to another smoke free day tomorrow!! Hope your all doing well too!!

Good luck for tomorrow to you all!!

Lisa xx

I find evenings and just before bed the hardest times too. However I'm very stubborn and refuse to fail!

Enjoy your hols and keep up the good work

Hi Guys,

I'm also on Champix - day 11. Had a great day, didn't even fancy a cigarette at work so I've not had any so far but now when I'm back home I'm dying to have one :confused:

I suppose that's the habit thing now. I'm going on a business trip on Sunday so I hope it will 'break up' my routine (driving, talking on the phone in the kitchen etc.).

Good luck to you all! Take care!

Great job Lisa!

Alex.

Hi Lisa,

I'm on Day 9 of my Champix course. My quit day is tomorrow and I can't wait. I have been told to smoke as normal whilst I'm taking the tablets. But in the last 24 hours each cigarette has become less and less enjoyable. Then this morning, my first cigarette of the day - ordinarily my favourite - left me feeling sick and nauseous. Although this is what I had heard happened, I didn't really believe it for myself. Champix appears to be working so far.

Yes I had the dry mouth, dizziness and weird dreams for the first couple of nights and then I thought that was it! But this morning I just know that I won't want to light up again tomorrow morning; I've thought about lighting up for the last half hour or so but really don't want to go through that horrible sick feeling again. Weird - but wonderful after 31 years of burning money.

Good luck to you!

PS It's been useful in some ways to read that there are still going to be weak moments during the day as I need to be prepared for that too. No method is absolute magic!

hi everyone i am also on champix day 10 on the tablets and day one of no smoking so far going ok still getting a few cravings but im determined to beat it this time hope everyone is doing well xx

Hi SOU

Welcome to the forum and congrats on stopping smoking. Day 1 well thats truely amazing, before you know it day 1 will be week 1 then month 1 well you get the picture.

Take it 1 minute, 1 hour at a time, dont try and plan too far ahead. The champix tabs are good but you also need your willpower too. You can do this, i did and im now 7 months free.

Read, read and read somemore, get yourself armed with as much knowledge as you can and most of all dont forget to post whether its a good post or a bad post let us know, we can all support each other.

Anyhow please take care and good luck with your quit

Well done Lisa, I'm looking for new ways to quite since falling off the wagon so I might give it a go too. gonna try one more time cold turkey and see what happens. Best of luck in your quest to being a non-smoker!

Well done on stopping smoking, as an ex champix user, I can say that it does work very very well. As far as the nausea is concerned, I found that taking the tablet straight after a proper meal completely stopped it. But when I say I proper meal, I do mean something like a full bowl of cereal in the morning and not just a sandwich. The dry mouth will hopefully go away for you soon, but I can definetely sympathise with you on the nausea front as if you do get it, then it can be really rotten (as I found out). So please do eat with every tablet.

Ian

hey all well im on my second day of not smoking and im doin really good the tablets help a great deal but willpower is a big factor!, only time i really struggled was after dinner last night but i managed not to cave in just kept myself busy ended up cleaning out 3 of my kitchen cupboards lol

Hi there, I’m on day 11 and also having some mild side effects, nausea and anxious feeling but it’s managable. Been quit three days now and the Champix has helped loads but still thinking about smoking quite a bit.

Good luck on your journey, you can do it!
