New comer!
Hi i'm a new comer, first time posting! Ive been a smoker for 15 years and like u all i have the same resons for quitting, health, cost but most of all because i feel that cigarettes rule my life!! I dont really enjoy them anymore but feel like i just have to smoke. Does that make sense??
So today is day 14 of champix and still smoking. Not as much but still smoking. Is this 'normal' or is it time to freak out??
You can do it RJ. Most others on here using Champix smoke during the initial period. I don't take Champix so cannot really comment about them but I would take Dr Feelgood's advice about setting a quit date. I set a quit date when I started my patches and 8 weeks now and smoke free.
Good luck and I am sure you will work things out and don't forget to keep us all up to date so we can encourage one another.
Hi RJ have you at least cut down on the amount of cigarettes you are smoking? I actually didnt set a date to quit, the pills did it for me on day 5 or 6. I started smoking less and less each day until i practically forced myself to have one and instantly became so ill from it. Never lit one again. Maybe keep going and see if you will at least cut down, then eventually stop. Pills don't work the same for everyone.
Hi RJ - welcome tot he world of quitters! Don't panic - I smoked normally until my day 16 on champix, and then just a little willpower hurdle and you are on your way. I was also starting to panic by then, btu it all worked out.
