Hi all

Well it's nearly 11 weeks since I quit, and it's 4 days since I stopped the champix.

One thing I've noticed since stopping champix is that I am falling asleep easier and waking up feeling like I've actually been asleep! For the whole time I was on the champix I struggled with insomnia and permanent tiredness. I'm still really tired but definately more normal in terms of the sleep I'm having.

Also, major triumph over potential triggers today. I started new job at work today after a promotion - which also entailed returning to the office I left a year ago - so now back with all my friends at work who are also smokers! Got through it really easily and didn't even feel tempted to join them when they all trooped out to the garden area for their fag breaks.

:D:D:D

Wow 11 weeks Lauren, that is a decent amount of time to be quit! Well done girl, you done good. I think that has absolutely flown by. The Champix are history now (they are only a small part of it anyway) Take each and every day as it comes now and enjoy being a non smoker and all the benefits that come with it, you little star!:)

Thank you girls :D

Credit where credit's due... I know we can only stop when we want to stop... but seriously you both have helped me through this enormously with all the support and advice... not just directly but reading what you've advised others... and also reading your earlier posts when you were first starting off.

Priceless forum this is :D
