Hi Guys, around this time last year, i was so excited that im no longer smoking etc. Using alcohol over weekends smashed my achievement of quit. This year i know exactly what stimulates my cravings. i will try harder even if i have to be anti social for the whole 3months. thanks guys for all the motivational posts. My chronic ulcer has gone worse, and if i dont stop smoking i dont know what will happen. I'm seeing a throat specialist as im constantly getting tonsilitis. antibiotics are not helping. That is the main reason i have decided to give Champix a go for the second time. I'm scared that if i dont stop soon, my health will keep on deteriorating. Thanks for listening. Neli

Neli...Champix works if you allows it to work...It does not make you stop but assists a lot in easing the cravings...

I can promise you the health benefits are legio...By starting to eat healthy and on time the ulcers might vanish, sore throat will be something of the past...and with mild exercise in the beginning you will be a different person...

You can do it...!

Thank you for the encouragement Hercu. I can barely walk due to the ulcer. I'm going to give this journey my all. for my family and myself.

Hey Neli - good to hear from you but sorry to read you have struggled in your last attempt.

Keep up that positive mindset, you know what you have to do. Wishing you strength and look forward to seeing your Day 1 post very soon :)

hi Neli

the reasons I said still stand,but you know already,

you can do this,I have my 3rd granddaughter in may,my daughters first and am so happy to have stoped,

if you can put the demon drink with the demon smoking,you will be so better,

I'm suffering with moutulcers but truth be told I suppose I had them a lot before I stoped,but I did get more,

it's good your back,never stop giving up,

take care 😊

keep kicking 😁
