Omg 2 weeks no cigies!!! Wooo hoooo
To all that are on the road to recovery and to those that are on day 1,4,6,10 etc ... wooo hooo to all of us πππππ for some reason i dont have the option to pop this story into "getting started" cause in my opinion i still am getting started but feeling betta every day...for all like me that google searched about champix, the side effects, all the bad stuff you read about it when we really want to try it cause we really need a helping hand to give up cigies i was a bit worried to start on the meds..... a great friend of mine ecouraged me to give it a go cause it was working for him ( we are both a pack a day smokers for the last 30 years and much much more while having a drinki πππππ) well yadda yadda i am on 24th day of champix (week 4 )and have not had a cigie since day 9..... 15 days yeaππππand NO side affects at all!!!!!!! Thank goodness ... but i do eat with the tab.... ( who knows if this helps but i read it may help so i did it lol lol π€ππ) i cut down to 2 cigies a day before day 9 but still the first week off cigies was pretty tough still... alot of will power still required but i am finding now that when i "feel" like a cigie its cause i am bored, having a vino, an excuse to stop ironing π¨π¨π¨π¨etc etc we all know the drill.... but to all that read this .. YOU CAN DO THIS, WE CAN DO THIS... yea sometimes it is minute by minute we have to ignore the cravings, sometimes hour by hour, and for me it was a fight with my head not to have a cigie about every 15 mins ahhhh.... just push through if you can, its tough but on day 15 of giving up its getting easier.... cant wait till i hit 1 month!!!! Where eva you are in this fight to beat this addiction, you can do it!!!! Be proud of yourself for not having a cigie when you really "want" one, be proud of yourself for an hour of giving up, a day of giving up
Keep strong you can do it, which i still tell myself every time the "urge" still comes along. ... i just wait 5 mini's and it goes.... day to day, hour to hour, yea to all of us what eva stage our journey is at!!ππππππππ

Well done Kazzi, keep up the good work, but be very aware that Nic is waiting for a weak moment when you are at your most vulnerable
Hi Kazzi
Hadn't seen you on here for a while and wondered how you were doing. Great news for you and well done for getting to 2 weeks. Do you manage to sleep ok taking Champix? I'm now onto week 5 with them and have had disturbed sleep every night. That's been my only side effect. Smoke free for 4 weeks!! Still early days tho. I need to get to 3 months lol.
Hey gina
So sorry to take so long to reply omg have been so busy... ahhhh... yea i have freaky dreams as well. I dont think every night but yea i do π΄π΄π΄ like you i have had no other side affects and just got to 3 weeks no cigies... congrats heaps on getting to 5 thats AWSOME!!!!!!!! I cant wait to be able to say 1 month and you can now say a month and a half which sounds awsome!!!! There are still times where i think i want a cigie (various times) but the urge passes alot quicker now..... it is certainly a mind game ππππππ yea for us, keep strong we can do this!!!!! I am stoked when i go shopping and dont have to buy cigies!!!!!!! Cheers and great job gina
