Champix and Alcohol

schedule 21 Jan 2014

 I had 56  X 1mg Champix tablets left from a previous quit attempt(Both previous attempts lasted 4 months). So Nov 2013 i took one tablet a day, cut  one cig a day till i reached 0 from 20, and started my quit on the 23rd of Dec 2014. For the first quit week, i used 1 Champix a day, thereafter, every second day, untill they where finished a week ago.

I have learnt this: Champix does NOT MIX with alcohol! Eat before taking Champix. Coffee is a trigger, basically any stimulant is a trigger for a craving. Drink 7 to 8 glasses of water. Don't let stop smoking become an obsession, just do it and don't dwell on it...it can drive you crazy!

Enjoy your weekend, be kind to yourself and don't set yourself up for failure. Think 3D - Delay smoking, Distract yourself from smoking and be Determined to succeed.

Have a great weekend.
