Day 1

Joined 'i can quit' today! Doing all that I can to help myself become a non smoker. Thank god day 1 is almost over though! I've tried to stop several times recently without success. My husband has been almost a month now without smoking, he's using champix. I decided to give champix a try as it's worked well for him, patches did nothing for me. I am determined to stop this time.

Welcome Sim and good luck, I'm on day 38 (I think), it feels like years!!! This forum is agreat support and there are some wonderful (if a little strange at times *joke*) on here, you'll get plenty of support here if you need it, we all know how hard it is.
Welcome Sim - you will be able to do it, just focus on 1 day at a time. At the begining it might be focussing on 1 hour at a time. But break it down and don't look too far ahead or it becomes overwhelming.
It looks like you wrote this yesterday, so you have woken up and are already at day 2 :) So just focus on getting through today.
Meanie is right we are a little 'strange' (but in a good know what it's like way).

Hi Sim, welcome. Really looking forward to reading your second post. Don't forget to carry a bottle of water with you.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for the support! I felt really down today, this is tough even with the champix - but reading your comments and advice really helped. It's so true what they say "nothing worthwhile is ever easy".. I feel quite determined though.
