Day 6 on Champix!

[nsd_user663_44684]

Hi all, I'm on day 6 using champix - i've tried giving up before... once with patches, once cold turkey & once with e-cigs.

This time I am determined to quit, the champix is helping already & i've only smoked 6 cigs today (usually it's 20-25 a day)

My quit day is Thursday 15th March & even though these tablets are making me feel sick & i'm tired all the time, if they work I don't mind.

I've smoked for 34 years...

Well done Denise, I'll keep an eye out for you. Read as much as you can, it really does help.

Hi Denise

We seem to have similarities here, I too have smoked for 33yrs. This is my third attempt on champix..... Im on my 12th day....and not smoked now since last thurs and for 4 days prior to that I was only on four a day.... I was a heavy smoker too ! Hopefully we can exchange progress/symptoms . Champix + willpower = success I figure x. Good luck

Thanks for all the replies

Di, you are doing well Be great to chat with someone going through the same emotions... I've got 2 days left then i'm stopping - looking forward to it & nervous at the same time.

Welcome and congrats. I look at my past failed quits as my preparation for this one! Twice now I have lost solid quits because I can have just the one, so lesson learned for me! Enjoy reading, and good luck on the champix"!

Hi..... I have a correction... I smoked for 43yrs not 33 ! I'm now on day 5 of no cigs at all.... I'm pleased to say today has been easier than yesterday but my willpower won.... Really didn't think I had any but I'm doing good x. Must not give in as having the odd one leads to a packet. Hope you're doing ok xx

You are so right..... It really is all or nothing! I've learned that now and know that I can't go back..... Each day gives me more determination x. You must be proud to have cold turkey.... No way could I do that..... Champix are such a great help though I do worry about them....!

Thanks for your encouraging words..... Yesterday I thought I would not do this but today I feel so positive... It's a great feeling too ! Onwards and upwards .... Lol..... I'm sure Denise won't mind being referred to as a 'girl' I know I don't lol Thanks again x

[nsd_user663_44684]

Thank you all so much it really helps to know other people understand... I, know in the past when i've tried to give up, i've given in to that one cig & it just starts me off again - this time I know not to do that, i'm not going through all this again

The champix must be working, i've only smoked 5 cigs today - which is a miracle for me!!

Really looking foward to thursday now, can't wait to start giving up!!!

Good luck to you all & well done to all who have already quit.

Hi Denise

I am on champix too - it is hard feeling so tired and sick but I did find once I actually stopped smoking I felt better on the tablets - maybe thats how they work!! I felt rubbish on them for the first couple of weeks but feel fine on them now as long as I take after food and drink loads! Have you had the mad dreams?

Good luck for Thursday!! I was so nervous about my quit date - was actually glad when it came round!

[nsd_user663_44684]

Hi Mandy, tomorrow is the day & i'm looking forward to it now Everytime I smoke I feel more sick so hopefully like you i'll feel better when I stop. It'll be my 10th day on champox tomorrow & yes i've started having mad dreams - really weird ones!! I'm finding falling to sleep hard too but feel really tired all the time.

Denise.

Hi Denise..... Good luck for tomorrow.... I learned from past experience on champix that smoking even one on the tablets made me feel quite lousy....... I'm into day 15 on champix but smoke free now for a whole 6 days ! Some of this time has not been easy but I've stuck to my guns...... I know that one light up will constitute a fail...... Be strong tomorrow xxx

Good luck for today Denise!
