Today is DAY ONE ☝️ of ZERO ciggies. Woot woot 💪. I’m on Champix pills, and can honestly say they’re brilliant little tablets . Am on week 2 of taking 2 a day. Side effects are minimal for me at the moment, other than being a bit moody a work (nothing unusual there though - so I’m told -🤣🤣) Have only very slight cravings which am trying to push to the back of my head and tell myself ‘How will you feel if you had that ONE ciggie now’. Like I’ve screwed up and have to start again. I have to give up due to my health and loads of wheezing, blood tests came back reading my blood is too dense. I guess I’m lucky it’s not cancer and a very gentle health nigdednto quit. Good luck to all this

Hi Mands, It's good your health was a deterrent for you, as it was for me. 2 wks is a big milestone, that's great. Keep moving forward and don't look back. Stay quit :)

Thank you so many for everyone kind words of support. Well, its day 5 of no ciggies. Had my first boxing class on Wednesday and even my trainer noticed my breathing had improved ten fold. Still no major side effects Fromm champix, hope it stays that way. We are all winners if we stay ‘clean’ 😀💪
