Smoking is not an option... My mantra!
So I just I'm just sharing a bit abt my quit today.... At about 9.5 months the nasty thoughts started hunting me and o couldn't get rid of them no matter how much I tried. Because smoking is not an option, I decided to go back on the champix, it might just be stupid and unnecessary, but I'm not taking

Cutting down on champix
Hi guys, Now starting day 10 and have been pretty good! Only really struggling with boredom at work when on my break, been to the hypnotist and using hypnotism to relax before I sleep bu really want to come off the champix as they mess my brain up too much for work. I took 1/2 yesterday and have taken

Day 5 of champix
Champix is going better than I thought smoking less and even when I do have a cig I'm not finishing it, the only down side is I am so tired with tossing and turning all night :( but I'm staying strong, I thought the feeling sick would put me off but I just have something to eat and I'm fine

Quitting smoking.
Hi I'm not sure I belong here but could do with some support. I had symptoms of copd & was offered a spirometry test which, thank god, my doctor said was normal. Still suffering from breathless episodes but I'm not sure if that's anxiety as I suffer with that too. I'm also a massive hypochondriac &

Wondering which one to try
Hi Rosieb10, Well done on planning your quit date! You understandably have lots of questions and an e-cigarette may be a good solution for you if nicotine replacement therapy doesn't suit you. However did you know that you stand the best chance of quitting if you combine an appropriate product with

Weird taste in my mouth
Strange one.....ive got a kind of strong metallic taste in my mouth. Not sure if its the not smoking, champix, or the medications i take for my ticky ticker. Could even be the combination of all of them. Not feeling sick or anything. If the taste hangs around for a few days, will take a trip to the

Day 3 O.o
Last night was tough, I managed to sort out a lot of unfiled paperwork to keep myself busy! So at least I'm slightly more organised now :D The cravings were hitting hard, sometimes on an almost unconscious level. It feels like I'm at the bottom of a dark pit looking up at a dot of light, I can't imagine
