Champix and Alcohol

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!

coffee is the worst.. I am yet to be tempted with alcohol.. i knwo this weekend is going to be reallly hard being Australia day long weekend.. I hope i can hold out and not smoke..

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.
