13 days and counting
I'm approaching the start of my third week without a cigarette. So far I've saved $185 and my phone app tells me the Co2 levels in my blood have dropped to normal, all the nicotine is now removed from my body, my body's dependence on nicotine is almost gone and withdrawal symptoms have subsided 45%. Thanks to Champix I can honestly say that withdrawal symptoms, at least the mental ones, are completely gone. I just don't want a smoke.
I really feel like this time will be successful for me. Heading to the Dr this morning to get a new prescription for Champix. It's a 12 week course and even though I don't want a smoke now I'm going to make sure I complete the 12 weeks.
I had a moment yesterday where I wanted a smoke. The urge didn't last long when I thought about how it would taste, so I feel really strong.
Good luck to everyone else.
Hey that's fantastic! I am at 3 weeks today without a smoke and feelin good! I truly believe champix has made it possible! So glad to hear it's working for you as well. Keep up the great work!
Hi Quittingformykids/ Kam
WELL DONE both of you!!
I'm 339 days smoke free due to Champix and I also stayed the 12week course. As far as the cravings are concerned - water and loads of it helped me through. As the time goes on it does get easier and easier.
Besides all the side effects - its totally worth the journey.
Hang in there - you're totally on the right track
KEEP IT UP
Thanks Mix for the words of encouragement, I hope to follow in your footsteps down this path, so that I too will be able say proudly that it's been almost a year! Quittingformykids u are doing awesome too! It's so exciting isn't it?! Best of luck to both of you!
