Keep trying!!!

This is my 4th attempt at Champix. The last time I tried it, I kept sneaking in a couple of ciggies here and there well passed the 2 week end date until eventually I just started smoking again. This time around I stopped one day before the end date and have not had a ciggie at all! I'm also doing breathing exercises when I get that little niggle to smoke which actually only lasts a few seconds. The hardest time for me is in the evening, after I've had dinner but I'm coming up with different ways to combat that. I won't say that it's not hard, because this is one of the hardest things I have ever done. The physicality of giving birth is on par with the mental strength required to give up. The day of my last ciggie was a minute by minute battle - I had to keep telling myself not to go to the supermarket, petrol station and 7-Eleven which I drive past all the time. I was even visualising myself walking in, buying a packet and smoking!! But I just kept driving and thought about the $30 I had just saved myself! I also talk to my husband a fair bit about my challenges throughout the day (he is a non-smoker) so it keeps me honest and on-track! Good luck with your journey, I hope you make it, just like I hope I do 😀 But if this attempt isn't successful, just keep trying!
