New Journey
Hi there , I'm new to this site and have read a few stories and it's really given me the encouragement I need , today is my first day of quitting I have been taking Champix for about a week now , I'm determined to give up as I have copd and asthma I'm feeling very anxious but determined , it really helps reading all your success stories so hopefully today is the start of my new journey x
Thank you for your encouragement Red-67 it's much appreciated , I'm so determined to do this I think it's just visualising a life without cigarettes , Your right I need to make a smoke something I don't want and every time I feel like I just can't cope I'm going to come on here , I think I may be on a different time than others I'm from England , Thsnk you so much for your comment your right I CAN DO this :-)
Red-67 really does help talking , the Champix are a bit strange I get certain points of the day where I can feel so very sick then it subsides , I knew being at home today and not smoking would be my toughest challenge and I'm getting thru it , back to work tomorrow so I will be mega busy with not much time to think , You must be so proud of yourself I feel immense admiration for all you guys that have given up I cannot wait to get to that point , you have done absolutely amazing I bet you feel so much better and that's what I'm looking forward too :-)
Hello everyone
I just decided to stop smoking (again!). I am 45 years old. I’ve given up smoking 2 years ago for 6 months and had a stressful situation, lit up a cigarette from my sister, of course I thought it would only be one and I’m in control and won’t have it again. 2 years later here I am.
I really need to stop as I have 2 stents in my heart, that was the reason I gave it up. I gained so much weight when I stopped smoking and when I started again my weight is unchanged. I haven’t read the stories yet, but I look forward to reading them. I hope I can do it for good this time :-)
You can do it and you'll feel better. Almost 7 months ago I couldn't see myself without a cig but right now I am glad I don't smell and don't have a smoker's cough. Good luck.
Thank you all so much for your kind words of encouragement they really do help , day 2 and I'm hanging in there , well done all of you , you should be so proud of yourselves :-)
Your so right Red-67, my biggest fear is it's going to sound stupid but it's going to work without a cigarette my day won't be right but yesterday proved me wrong I went to work all day no cigarette and the day was no different , day 3 today feel so much better today so grateful for all the support 😊
22nd day smoke free , I have copd asthma and unknown why I have left chest cramps/pains in the process of working out why . I’m ok with the quit at home but the minute I enter a place where smokes are for sale my brain goes blank and I literally can’t think and want to go home perhaps so I can’t buy them I run away but really the mind blank lasts a long time , I have my coffee n vape no nicotine juices. I only wish I grew up with the anti smoking education that’s around now , I’m proud my daughters received the message though. I defiantly am over smoking and support all people here fighting day to day til it gets easier to live with this transition from smoker to ex smoker I’m in Sydney ☀️☕️🇳🇿
