Scared
Hey.. I have finally decided to quit the habit after 30 odd years . Tomorrow being Sunday will be my first day on Champix . I have been on the lozzengers for a week - which has slowed me down somewhat . 6 months ago i was having chest pains - so i had the dye put into my bloodstream- results- all my arteries were near pristeen clear- This amazed my Doctor as myself . Long story cut short - Stress was doing it . I am of average weight and the one thing im am petrified off is putting on extra weight !!!!! I have always tried to look after myself in that dept but i have been reading different forums over the last day and everything is about " When you quit you put on KGS "
There is heart failure in my family - no smoking related mind u but its high in my family . So i guess i need to think about my body as im now in my 50s . I am just getting very nervous about the outcome when i do quit - will i blow out in weight ? I am very determined to quit only hope i have no bad side effects to this medication .
Wish me luck .
Good luck, I've finally decided after a bad coughing attack to stop.....I have smokes for forty years. I'm so glad there is some one else here to chat with.
Hey . Yes it is good to find someone to chat with . Are you doing it cold turkey ?
Hey there mrmr, feel the fear and do it anyway!! Congrats on moving forward enjoy the ride. So glad your health problems are manageable. All the best xx
Day 2 for me . Yeah stress is the trigger factor for me . Im not so afraid on putting on weight anymore as im determined not to replace the ciggies for food .This is the first time in 33 yrs that I am attempting to ditch em . Keep up the good work and lets all encourage each other
Hi mrmr, I just read my story. Omg it's so nice to know that I am not the only one that feels like you.
I am day 21 smoke free and everytime I have tried to quit I have started again due to my weight gain. Not this time. Come on let's not let this excuse stop us from giving up the most toxic substance we are putting in our bodies.
Best of luck to all
Hey Anne . Did you replace the ciggies with food on your previous times ? Are u just going cold turkey now ?
