My first time to quit
I have never tried to give them up ..... but my smoking has gone out of control the last few years ....I never tried pathces, but I am starting champix , should I try pathces first ? or should I just go with the tabs and embrace it, is fear of the tabs just my fear of quitting ?
okay enough of the self doubt ..... I am doing this Champix thing in the morning ........ I want to be healthy and alive, my poor chest is killing me all day ..... I can beat this ...
Hi Converse
Different things work for different people. As you haven't tried anything before go with your gut instinct and if that is Champix, then go for it. Being positive all the time will help with whatever means you use. There is plent of stories here on Champix so make sure you read some of them if not all.
Good luck and keep us all posted on your progress.
Hi Converse
This is my first attempt at quitting and im using champix. So far no side effects at all. Its been great has really helped. I gradually cut down my cigarettes until my quit date. Im now day 3 without a smoke. Seriously if i can do it, you can too! Just go with it, try not to stres too much. Good luck.
Hi Converse. I felt exactly the same as you! I had my Champix in the cupboard for 2 months before I starting taking them. Was so scared and didnt know if it was fear of failing, fear of the tablets or what. Anyway one morning I just took the first tablet and I am now on day 29 of no smoking! Just do it! You won't regret it.
Good luck x
Hello I have started taking them today..... just there now...with breakfast.....
Thank you so far to anyone who has left comments, it is a massive help to know you are not alone. the sun is shining today so I am going to embrace the fresh air.
Hi converse. I found Champix the only thing that that worked for me. 3 weeks on it and NO smokes. I smoked for more than 20 years and I'm almostatthe point where idont think about it. I am staying out of temptations way . Good luck.
Thanks, Tracie, well done for getting to 3 weeks that's brilliant,good for you. I have smoked less than half of what I used to normally today, which is a good sign indeed.... good luck!!!! Temptations will be a test, but be positive and think of how far you have come so far.... one day at a time...
