Day 12 as a non smoker

Hi
Today is my day 12.
If I had a choice I am not sure if I would quit but I had to on Doctors orders.
I have suffered with asthma for a few years and the doctor has always just treated me with med’s. Last month he requested an x-ray, and it showed my lungs are badly damaged. I am 48 years old he says my lungs looks like a 60 year old. If I did not stop I would have no quality of life in 10 years’ time.
I started taking Champix on the 23rd May , not having any side effects. Also no cravings for a cigarette.
I have not used my inhaler for a week, so I am feeling great.

Congratulations Jenni that is fantastic! Keep up the battle, you are just going to keep feeling better and better! I am on day 24 using champix, it really helps. You can do this!

Hi Jenni.....welcome to Day 15.....we made it! I feel so good this time that I am fighting this battle....I get these fleeting thoughts of "be nice to have a cig" but need to remind myself I'm a non smoker now....its a mental battle now for me...more determined then ever.
continued success to you....
