Day 3
Well I am now on day 3 of champix, I know you are meant to smoke like " normal" but I am finding it hard to do that...I reckon I would smoke 2,3or 4 an hour depending, and yesterday I had 7 and today so far 3. I am trying to cut back in prep for d day and ignoring the urge to smoke is sometimes ok and sometimes I just can't do it!!!! Does the urge get less maybe in a couple of days or does the urges stay but champix kicks in and its easier to ignore????? Ahhh didn't imagine 1st week to be easy, can anyone offer advice???
Hi Kazzi.I am on day 9 of Champix and quit 4 days ago. Wasn't intentional to quit so soon but went to shops to buy milk and forgot to buy fags!! (That's a first). Got home and just decided not to buy any more. Champix has worked really well for me regarding withdrawal symptoms. The urge does get less . I still think about ciggies however,but I keep telling myself I don't need or want them in my life anymore. I have been reading the stories on this site and stop smoking books and just getting my head in that "right place". I thinks its as easy as you want to make it and how much you want to kick the habit. Good luck and just stick at it. :)
Thanks gina, I reckon I may just do the same as I can't rememba the last time I had 7 cigies in a day!!!! Normally 15-20.... I am typing this and would normally want a smoke but really don't feel like one... Yea.... Its just sometimes that BIG urge comes on and I give in... I really really am sick of smoking and tge cost!!!!! and hope I am like you by day 9 cause that is my quit day..... or fingers crossed earlier!!!! I am ova the hold they have!!!!! Congrats on your mon smoking... What so you do to get over the real urge to have a fag????
Its strange but I have no urge to smoke (i've been smoking for 30years since school, about 12 a day and lots more with alcohol) ... I think about them and then the thought goes away. The champix works for me and takes away the cravings. I know for some people they don't work. I've tried NRT many times but found taking nicotine keeps me wanting more and in the end I just start smoking. Went to 9 weeks at best. This is my first time with Champix, so guess its still early days for me. But I don't have that incessant nagging in the back of mind to have "just one more". And so far not waking up in a foul mood cuz I want to smoke. Keep me posted how you're going
Will do and good luck to you as well.... I will take it one day at a time.... Day 4 tomozzi and I have only had 3 cigies today..... Yea!!...I have also been smoking since school for 20 years.... Omg!!!! And yes DEFINATELY more with a vino or vodi 😀😀😀😀 the weekend is yet to come but I feel really like I can crack it this time... Patches over the last few times of giving up gave me bad rashes and it was too easy to pull them off and have a smoke!!!! Lol lol.... Go champix and have had no nausea or any other probs yet...
Have a great non smoking day tomozzi
