About myself

[Neli]

Hi guys. My name is Neli. I'm from Port Elizabeth in South Africa.I've been smoking for about 17yrs about 10 a day. I have decided to stop putting this poison into my body. I've got two beautiful kids whom i wouldnt like them to grow up with a smoker in the house. hubby does not smoke. i'm on day 8 on champix. the side effects not too bad. but the smoking is getting a bit less. will see how it goes.

Wecome Neli !

I too am on Champix (day 14 of no smoking, day 22 of Champix).

Well done on your decision to quit - I won't lie, it is certainly the hardest, but definitely the BEST decision of my life!

I did suffer some side effects (I think from Champix - nausea, a bit of anxiety etc.) but I am glad to say that these have eased off for me - stick with it, I promose it does get better.

What is your quit day?

This is a very supportive site and I am sure you will receive many more welcome messages and messages of support - there are always plenty of fellow quitters on here to give you continued guidance, information and encouragement.

I look forward to following your journey and being a successful fellow non-smoker.

Keep strong!

Mel

Welcome Neli - set the quit date now while you this frame of mind, we will be here to help you on your journey, especially our Mr Hercu who has great words of wisdom especially when it comes to quitting with champix and his analogies were a godsend when I quit cold turkey 17 months ago.
