Thank You Champix

I am 33 years old and had smoked from the age of 14. I used to smoke mainly roll ups and between 25-30 a day during the week but up to 50-60 on a weekend night depending how the party was going!. I never thought I would have the strength to quit despite my own mother dying from cancer at the age off 44 a few years back I enjoyed my ciggies and that was that no one was going to tell me any different! I finaly decided to quit purely by accident I think I had a free medical at work (which was fine by the way) and at the bottom ticked a section asking if I wanted to quit smoking so I ticked it and thought nothing of it. I had my first meeting with a no smoking adviser 1 week later who went through my options and decided Champix was the best bet.

I took the tablets for the first week and noticed I was smoking less and that they did not seem as enjoyable by the 11th day I had stopped completly. Now do not get me wrong Champix affected me badly for the first six days I probably had 4-5 hours sleep a night when I did sleep I had the most vivid dreams you could imagine(by the way vivid does not always mean bad if you catch my drift) and I was moody . But by the second week all side effects had stopped and I was still smoke free. IT has now been 33 days since my last ciggie I am still taking my tablets 1 in the morning and 1 at night as well as reciving weekly support from my no smoking advisor who attends my workplace the guy even gave me his mobile number as he is on holiday next week and said I could call if needed! I guess what I am trying to say to all people trying to quit is stick with it! I will not lie its not easy infact its bloody hard but its worth it in the end! If you have tried patches gum with no success give champix a try ask yourself is it worth a week of side effects(which do not affect all by the way) for the rest of your life smoke free it was for me I have never felt so good!!!!!!!!!!!
