Feeling excited
I hate smoking! In fact I get so angry with myself when I smoke. It is such a waste of money, socially unacceptable and just down right smelly. But...... I'm addicted - plain and simple.
In the last month I have tried to quit cold turkey several times without success. It only takes the slightest hiccup in life and I'm down the shops buying a pack of those hideous cigarettes.
About 2 months ago I spoke to my doctor about the side effects of champix. I asked a few friends what they thought and heard both positive and negative stories of the effects.
Long story short - I started my course of Champix on Saturday and so far have not had side effects. I am still smoking, but have noticed a huge drop in cravings. I think most times I now smoke, relates to habit. I certainly have to change those habits.
I've set my quit date and am excited.
I'm on champix there fantastic they really work. Here what happened to me I smoke on the first week 26 a day that's the white tablets by day now we're on two a day of the blue ones I smoked 6 smokes . Day 10 3 day 11 1. Day 12 none. I simply lost my desire to smoke. No withdraws at all. I haven't smoked for 11 days now. My partner smokes I still don't want to. The only side affect I've had is nausea. But that is also going away as long as I eat before I take one I'm ok. Keep with it they work
