Ready or not here I come!
Start champix tomorrow, I pray this works for me as both me and my partner have set a date to quit next week, I need to learn how to deal with socializing and not wanting a smoke, those times with my smoker friends kill me the most, plus I'm worried about weight gain, but plan to replace spare time with exercise, sometimes I'm scared that I won't be able to do it, like how long til I'm happy and don't really want a smoke, I hope it doesn't torture me for to many months.
Good luck Zoey! My 3 best peices of advice:
1: stay away from tempting situations. The number of people I've seen on here over the last 133 days who have slipped up because of social situations is really quite sad.
2. Use the money you save from not smoking to reward yourself with over the top dream items. Really splash out and make yourself feel good!
3. You have already determined to use your spare time to exercise. That is great. This morning I woke up at 4:58am and went straight to the gym. My alarm wasn't due to go off until 6:35am. Really commit to using that spare time, no matter where in the 24 hour cycle it might arise.
socializing has always been my downfall, (bloody beer) I had two months up my sleeve and a thousand saved dollars in my pocket, i took off to Magnetic Island to visit my bestie and within an hour we were sitting in a beautiful hotel looking over the bay and i was sucking on a nicotine stick. I have just had a visit from her and while staying at her mums house overnight she made comment on how badly i wheeze of a night. She went home on Monday and i put on a patch. Good luck and stay strong.
I know how u feel vanessa and I live 5 mins from magnetic island so I know how hard that is,lol best of luck
