Take 2 - Day 1....

Well it is take 2 on me quitting this habit...I first tried with the patches and found them useless...I am now on day 11 of Champix and my quit day was yesterday..so it's really only been a day thus far and I have got some pretty stressful things going on at home but when I was anxious this morning I called my mum and had a chat so when I hung up I was ok. When I get a full on craving I throw in a mint and get up from what I am doing and just do something else for 5 mins and talk to myself that no I am ok and I can beat this, by then I have a clear head and I am ok..
We shall see what the next few hours hold...But I have no cigarettes in the house and I refuse to buy any and I will endeavour not to go near shops for a few days as that should help!

Thanks Olivia for your reply. I am finding it tough today but I am sure it will be like having a baby - bloody hurts at the time but now 9 years later I can't remember the pain so much! I have also started sucking on ice cubes when I have a craving - this also helps as it takes about 3 mins to melt...will see how I go!
