Need more motivation
I am on day 17 of my Champix. Last week I seem to be more motivated, so far this week, I feel like I am loosing the battle. I had the stomach sickness last week and believed that helped, also cold sweats, where I was cold but I was sweating and feeling sluggish. Over the weekend we had friends over and one smoke after another. So its been hard to get back on track. I am determined to quit, I just feel I need to have something get me there. I have a good angel on one shoulder and the smokey devil on the other.
I still am only smoking between 7-9 a day compared to my 20-25 and I am not coughing as much but I want to be smoke free. Funny how these little things can control your whole life. People that dont smoke have no idea what it does to a person.
Thank you for all the tips and tricks and the stories to help me get through. Good Luck to you all :-)
we all quit when we are done, and no its not easy, so feed the angel and it will win.

I also am on Champix, I am smoke free 37 days. Withdrawal only lasts a few weeks, but at the time it can feel like a lifetime. I still have the urge to smoke at certain times, and I have to remind myself that I don't really want a cigarette. Sometimes the urge passes quickly and sometimes not. It is definitely not easy but you can use any NRT that you need to help or pure will power, but you have to stop because only and cigarettes don't mean you have given up don't fool yourself you are still smoking good luck on your journey and keep posting
So determined to quit I'm on day 7 of champix. Having weird dreams and feeling nausea in the mornings when taking tablets . Only smoking 8 a day compared to 20 .
Still struggling with the daemons of habit! I dont crave the nicotine but it is the habit I believe that is the problem.
On my 5th week of Champix and still smoking 5-6 a day. Maybe I should just toss them and take the plunge and see if I can do it? Need something to keep the daemons at bay though :-)
