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

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 👍🏼👍🏼

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.
