3 weeks smoke free with one very minor slip up!

Well I've started my 2nd course of Champix and have been smoke free for three weeks.

I did however have a very slight slip up last Friday night after a bit of a session on the run and coke. I hadn't drank since starting the quit program and after a few drinks (maybe a lot) , I grabbed a smoke off my mate and said I'd light up for him. I did and I almost threw up! I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth quick enough. The Champix really are doing their job.

Surprisingly things are tasting different too. I did notice that when I first started drinking alcohol again that it tasted like metho. Not that I've drank metho before, but you know what I mean. :)

The craving pangs still happen on the odd occasion and it is weird. I will be sitting working at the computer and a feeling of "I need a smoke" comes over me. It passes in an instant, but it still happens.

Anyhow, I'm feeling pretty good with myself so far, so I'm happy I started this journey.

Oh, one more thing. The Champix on occasions still makes me nauseous. My sister describes it like morning sickness. Thankfully it passes within 10 - 15 minutes.

Happy non smoking everyone. Keep positive, stay strong and be rid of those coffin nails for good.
