Day 9 on champix & was doing good yesterday with only 8 ciggies for the day. Then this morning 3 WHOLE cigs before I even thought what I was doing. Just goes to show what years of habit can do. Yesterday they tasted yuk but today was different. Don't know what I was thinking but now to get back on track. Cheers

Hi motor7676, I've tried the patches many times but they never worked for me. Glad that they did for you. I am having better success with the champix because it's not a dead stop. After a few days the taste of the ciggies are horrible & you just don't want them and there is no real withdrawals either. Cheers

I did the same on day 9 and 10 with the Champix. But then all of a sudden i cut back unconsciously from then on. I now haven't had a smoke since 9:00am Sat.13/7. Still feel the urge sometimes, but is getting easier everyday... keep on going and don't be hard on yourself.

Hi kavie, im on champix too and gave up completely on day 16. Bit later than what was recommended but it worked for me. I had 3 smokes in the pack, smoked them all by 7.30am and haven't had another one for 26 days. I smell good, I feel good and have money in my pocket. Still get cravings but just distract myself. Good luck to you - it def does get better :)

Hi everyone, thanks for the support & advice. I'm not concerned that I relapsed today cos tomorrow will be better. I know of people that got to day 24 before they stopped & others that did after a day or 2 so everyone is different. I'm determined enough to do it & my official quit day is Sunday so I'm still on track really. Cheers & good luck everyone
