First day

Today's the first day of trying to quit I know I can do it but iv got such little will power iv given my smokes to my partner and he's taken them to work that way I'm not tempted.. Iv tried quitting many times before and have failed I really don't want to fail this time.. Has anyone got any good pointers for me??

just breathe in and out real hard til u feel headspin.. that seems to help with my cravings at the moment..
im also using nicobate gum
comeon we can do this!!!

I'm thinking of going on the champix iv been told good things about it? I can't stand the gum :-(

Champix is working for me, sure there are a few side effects but there are ways to manage them. Talk to your doctor to see if it's right for you. Honestly, it's a miracle worker if you want to quit! Basically you start champix and take it for about 10 to 14 days before quitting and honestly, you will have trouble even enjoying a cigarette by day 14. I am 62 days smoke free thanks to champix. But remember you have to want to quit, there will always be those moments of temptation that you will need willpower for. Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best!

Thank you I'm about to head off to the doctors nice and early as they open at 7am I'm wanting to get started on them today and have my quit date as Saturday so the 26th of July I'm excited and scared at the same time but I know I can so it :-)
