second time - much easier
Hi all, I have tried champix previous and it was great, I had stopped for over 3 months but after being stressed. I started smoking again.
The hardest thing was that even if I wanted to stop again with champix I could not until a year later. I waited almost 2 years until I was ready and also knowing if I did the same again then I would probably die a smoker. At probably an early age.
I tried the champix again and are now smoke free for almost 1 year. The difference this time is that I have learnt to control the stress. and no matter what lies ahead I will not put a smoke in my mouth again.
Second time is so much easier but you need to do it for yourself and not listen to others or pressure from your other half teling you to stop.
To me Champix is the best product on the market as I have tried the chewing gum, patches. I hope my story motivates others and one other thing. watch you weight.....
Hi Roseyk
Congrats, I feel the whole idea of the champix is that they stop you craving the nicotine. You have to learn/reprogram yourself not to want to put anything especially your hand near your mouth. This is a habit that I was so use to doing when smoking.
You will think about the smokes when you stop but it will be because you remember doing it previously as a smoker. ie smoking in the car, going on holidays and going out with friends.
I starting chewing gum for a while until I could teach myself to control the stress. This was my trigger because I thought that the smoke would relax me.
Keep up the good work, like is short so you need to enjoy it and take up a new hobby. Watch the food intake, it a killer. Ha Ha Ha
