Question for those using champix
I am just completing day 13 of being smoke free (using champix) and very excited about it of course but it's weird, I have smoked for over 35 years and I don't even have cravings! Another strange side effect of the champix seems to be my complete distaste for alcohol, haven't had a sip since I quit. I don't know if this is because I always enjoyed the two together but bottom line the thought of a drink is completely unapealing. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it go away when u stop the champix? I guess it's not a terrible thing that I can't drink - I'm going to be so darn healthy I won't recognize myself!! :)
Great work! I have heard the same about champix in regards to helps quit alcohol as well. Talk to your Doctor about this.
I'm on 33 days off nicotine and this time around I did it cold turkey. 33 days is my best effort since 1996! I've smoked since 1985 with very little abstinence!

Hi Kam
I'm on day 18ish of the champix and I really enjoyed a cold beer the other day after doing some work around the house. And gladly, didn't even consider a cigarette at the time.
Hi KAM,
Well done and keep going.
As you know I am off the Champix and although I have the occasional craving, it does not last as I feel disgusted at the thought of inhaling all of those chemicals.
I had tried to quit so many times in the past and always failed but perhaps the Champix and the right state of mind is the right combination.
I'm on day 3 of champix and my smoking habit it starting to take a kick!! I also love my wine, however, the last 2 nights I've struggled to drink a glass!!
Thanks everyone for your input! Glad to see quittingformykids can still enjoy a cold one and glad to see you are still going strong! I guess a few of us have lost the taste for alcohol but that's not the worst thing! :). Keep up the great work everyone I so appreciate reading all your posts, they keep me strong and I don't feel alone in my battle.
