Well I've made it to day 21, 3 weeks of no smoking and still doing great. Loving the Champix and the weird dreams, no cravings, no cough, a little less energy than last week but so far so good. Hubby still smoking but I don't notice it. He's definitely cut down. Bit concerned I won't want to come off the champix, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it
Day 21 of no smoking.......: Well I've made... - No Smoking Day
Day 21 of no smoking.......
Good for you Skyelady and well done!
See below pinned post worth a read if not already done so and something to be aware of in case it creeps up on you!
I did the whole 12 weeks. Trust me, you’ll be ready to come off it by then... lol Anyway, well done. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I finished champix last week and I am getting cravings. did this happen to you?
Hey Mummymonster - as you have stopped champix which took the edge of cravings, yes, it is perfectly normal for the cravings to be more intense for a while. But as each day passes, the less severe and frequent they will occur, I promise!
Drink plenty of water and use your insight timer. And off course, come on here especially if struggling or having a bad day, here for you
A little. I was always swallowing strange for some reason & I felt an emptiness inside but as Roisin suggested, drink plenty of water & the cravings pass quickly. I’m convinced mine weren’t so severe because I did 3 full months of Champix....the nausea outweighed the cravings to be honest. In July I’ll be 2 years smoke free & I was on a pack a day. Stay strong .... the cravings will definitely pass & you won’t even think about smoking anymore. I also started training more at the gym & of course Prosecco 🥂🥂😉 Good luck 👍🏼👍🏼
How is things now Skyelady , nearly at your first big milestone of 1 month?
I'm doing good thanks. Really busy at the moment which is handy. Still no cravings or side effects, I've now forgotten that I smoked....lol
I am going on month 3, I too am worried about dropping the Chantex. My energy has gone, tired all the time, depressed, moody, bitchy, (maybe the weather) but still fighting. I tried dropping down to 1 chantex a day..nope not ready for that yet. GOOD luck, you got this.
