3 months and a bit!

[nsd_user663_61250]

92 days to be exact.

I had smoked since I was 16, for 35 years. A regular 20 a day kind of a person.

Been trying to give up for years but my heart wasn't really in it. The thought of giving up appealed but deep down I enjoyed a smoke.

One day I woke up and seriously decided to give up - used Champix for 9 weeks and here I am - 3 months and a bit off the cigarettes.

Never thought it possible!

93 days now....

Thanks for all the kind replies and comments.

Yes, Champix is certainly a wonder drug - once I knew what to expect, the going was easy. It's not the same as using Nicorette replacements. Stopped smoking after 5 days and continued the course for about 2 1/2 months.

Heard all the associated horror stories - nothing out of the ordinary happened to me.

Indigestion - have had that for years - and no, I'm not giving up drinking as well.

Farts - welcome to my world!

Weird dreams - none at all, was very disappointed...

Restlessness - plenty of that, still haven't been able to channel all this new found energy.

Was a little apprehensive when coming off the tablets, even cut a few 1mg in half, but in the end just stopped - and that was about 3 weeks ago.
