I am on Day 10 today, Its my first day smoke free.. I was a bit nervous about the side effects as Anxiety and Depression are not strangers to me, I didn't expect the side effects i got though..

I have not noticed any change re: Anxiety and depression.

Paranoia on the other hand is not something i am use to and wow that's not fun. My poor partner!!! He is starting Champix himself next week so hopefully he dosent react badly or i calm down by then.

Not seen anyone else with this as a symptom, So a head's up to anyone who feels like they "know what your really up to" 

I'm onto you!

Hey Rangs, take it one day a time. Celebrate your quit. Stay busy for a couple of weeks, exercise, drink plenty of water. Remember nicotine is the enemy. learn everything about it. And remove yourself from it. I quit smoking cigarettes 5 months ago cold turkey, and I feel fantastic as a non smoker! I will not smoke cigarettes again. I am also very happy with myself. So, quitting smoking is doable. You can do it. I did ;)

Good on you Jojie, that's a massive achievement! I couldn't smoke if i wanted to, I had a drag of a ciggy last night and felt like i was going to throw up, Champix has defiantly done its job that way! Its not the nicotine i crave its the action, i am naturally one of those people that don't sit still so it's hard not having it that way. Get's easier with time though right! :)

Well done Rangs you are doing really well. I am on day 41 and it really has got better and am now at the stage where I don't really think about smoking anymore, although I refuse to get too confident in case it tries to catch me out. Try and keep positive and just take one day at a time. All the best
