Tomorrow is my day!
Tomorrow is my day to quit! Any advice on beating the morning cravings and the after meal cravings? Currently on day 8 Champix.
HeyJulie26 - WOW you are ambitious/brave to quite so early on during the Champix program. I quit on Day 16. My first leap was doing without my wake-up morning smoke and each one after that I told myself I had given up the most important smoke of the day, and the rest must be easier. It is not easy - but you can do it. If an can do it anybody can. I've been smoking 40 a day for 35 years.
First day is always interesting as it is a change of life style.
But it is the most important day - the day your decision to quit became real. It is a challenge and you can win.
All the best on your journey.
Julie26, how did your first day go for you? Did you manage it? I'm really scared as its my first day tomorrow so I am on this site trying to get some confidence...
It will be day 10 on Chapmix for me.
Hey Meme - I am day 5 today of not smoking. I gave up on my day 16 on Champix. The real clincher for me was resisting my early morning wake up smoke, which was so important to me. And then the after meal one. Each time I wanted one I asked myself if this next cigarette was more important to me than my morning smoke or my after meal one, and it wasn't, so I just kept going without. Watching the hours crawl by. Day 3 was my worst day so far. It does take a lot of talking to yourself, but you can do it. Go for it, and hang in there.
Hey there today was my first day of non-smoking on Champix and I must admit it was not as hard as I thought. I have been on Champix for 12 days...
In preparation, like most others have stated on the site, I started cutting out my morning smoke on day 3 (as at last week I was on 15-20smokes per day).
Don't worry about the impending doom and gloom in your life or thinking of what you are going do... life is pretty normal after decinding to stop. Go for you can do it. Will keep you posted on my personal progress.
