This time I will quit for good!
I have tried many times in the past to quit smoking but I wouldn’t be writing this now if I didn’t fail. Champix helped me quit for 9 months. It was the greatest 9 months and it all came to a sad end when I went out for “just 1 smoke” with a friend on our lunch break. That was nearly 2 years ago. I decided again that I needed to quit for so many reasons and I’m now on day 2 of being smoke free. I am using the inhaler and it is definitely working. I also like to read other people’s stories on here because I can relate and I feel like we are all in the same boat fighting the exact same battle. People who have never smoked have no idea how hard it is to quit. I envy them because they do not have to constantly think about wanting & needing a cigarette, nor do they have to go through the whole quit smoking nightmare.
could not agree more with you about non smokers, i've tried to quit more times than i can count and the longest i lasted for was nearly 2 months,i was taking champix and the people i lived with at the time didn't smoke, i was thinking about trying the pre quit patches but from what i've read so far it sounds like the inhaler is the way to go....
Hi all, hope today is an easy day,as we all know we do have them, and they will only get easier.I was a smoker for 36 years and did I enjoy having a smoke 15-20 a day, first thing in the morning with cuppa in hand. That all changed on the 4th of january 2011,Due to a ambulance ride to hospital at 5am on the 5th of jan 2011 signs of a suspected stroke. After numerous tests and a night in hospital was given the all clear.The whole time i was lying there I could not help but to think iam in for a life change, as I thought of my two beautiful sons & my loving caring & most amazing husband.I am 49 years old & have been 17 days smoke free,just the thought of being dependant on family and friends,no I will not let that happen,So i hope my story will help, to be strong and not light up ever again, BTW 4 of my friends have given up as well & we are such a great support for each other.
