Champix works!!

Champix worked for me! I have been a smoker fo 18 years, with many failed attempts, including willpower, patches and gums. I became desperate to quit and gave Champix all I had. I was scared, having read many stories but thought I have nothing to lose. First few days, I had a little upset stomach, few toilet trips but nothing serious. Ciggies tasted good and I even smoked more... Day 5 started to feel a little nausea as well and felt quite down, continued to smoke a lot. It hit me on day 8 with full blast, from the morning cigarettes tastes AWFUL. Hated the taste and smell and smoked much less. Day 9 still smoked but hated it even more and started thinking why do i even bother. Day 9, woke up and decided it is day D, I can do this. I used a patch and just didnt light up. I craved a little but when I thought of the disgusting smell and taste, put me right off with ease. Continued and finished the whole Champix cycle right till the end. No more tummy issues, maybe still a little fragile but kept thinking I am not smoking and that gave me a boost. I am now over 4 months smoke free! Do i miss it? Maybe a little when I have a drink but nothing one cant handle. Plus, life is so much nicer and easier without cigarettes so overall, would and will not go back. I used to love my fags so if i can do it, anyone can :) Good luck and dont quit quitting xxx
