34 days in
I have been quit for 34 days which is massive. I was a very addicted smoker. Hard at the start then easy. Lately I have been getting a few little niggles but they are not serious and I am getting more and more used to not smoking. I am using champix and find that it is the only way for me. But the sleep disturbance is very exhausting.
When I get a thought about smoking, and they are not true cravings, it is easy to move on but I will continue to take champix for another 12 or so weeks just to be sure.
I have woken up with a sore throat the last two mornings. As a non smoker it is less likely to develop into the bronchitis that I am so used to.
Hope everyone is keeping well. I find it really helpful to share and to hear your stories too.

Congratulations, everything you are going through is normal. Hang in there it will be worth it. The health benefits are well worth it recovery is quicker.I have now reach day 174 and am enjoying it now being a non smoker. Keep up the great work.
Hi AP, the bronchitis after an infection was just a given as a smoker, wasn't it? And sometimes very frightening. I'm day 58 today, and have had a nasty flu type bug for a few days. Have felt like crap, but my chest is clear! I can't remember ever feeling so good about being sick...
And big congrats on over a month, it's great when not smoking becomes a habit!
Hi AP, well done on 34 days, it is normal what you are experiencing. You get stronger the more you keep going. I had the sore throat also around the month mark, it is all part of healing. I hope the sleep gets better,I used to drink a mug of boiled milk, at night it helped me sleep.I also used relaxing music helped too.
good luck for the rest of the journey, look forward to your posts.
