6 days off not smoking and £60.00 better off in my purse

Ive now not been smoking for 6 days and I'm really looking forward to saying I've not smoked for a week. I've saved 60.00 and can breath when I go to bed.

It's not been a easy week although the champix tablets have helped, due to them making me feel that sick.

I remind myself when unwant a ciggy how long I haven't had one for, and say do I really need one now. Mainly it's my mind playing tricks on me. I'll be sat there watching tv and it's like my mind says have a cig then you can do the dishes. I find doing something helps and I must admit my house is sparkling and smells good too. So another added bonus, I've even started going to Zumba and invested in a bike so hopefully by the end of the year I will be smoke free and physical fit .

Good luck to everyone on there journey x

Hi Ollie4321, can you imagine saving so much money in so short a time? Buying an ipad is a great idea and I'm sure you'll get plenty of use from it.

With regards to feeling a bit sick whilst using the Champix, try and eat at least 40-60 minutes before taking them as this usually helps. Even if it's just a couple of biscuits or something. Also, drink plenty of fluids.

You're doing brilliant! :-)
