Well here's my daily champix update.......

Still no side effects as long as I take it with food and still sleeping like a proverbial baby. I do miss the action of smoking, every now and again I go to reach for the bacci and remember I don't smoke, its odd...lol. I can't believe its been this easy, but as I say I do miss it. I've started to get an annoyingly tickly cough (I never have coughs or colds) i take it thats normal, there's no gunk just a tickle. Another thing I've noticed is that I've got loads of energy.....something I thought would be the opposite.

Hey Skyelady , well done on 5 days smoke free, you are doing great!👏🙌

The cough and coughing up is normal and a sign that your lungs are clearing out. A spoonful of raw honey (jar honey is grand too) every morning and evening will assist with this and also sliced lemon in water. Drink loads and loads of water too. (Beware that you may start coughing up tar which can be frightening to see but take it as a good sign) I was the same with the energy but some don't get it until later on in their journeys.

Below is a pinned post on other common withdrawals worth a read if not already done so:

A tickly cough is normal.

Should go away, over time.

Well done and keep at it.xx

So exciting. You are doing really well. Wish I'd got the energy, have when I tried in the past. House was gleaming. This time, stuck to the sofa!
