Finally ....

Today is 32 days without a cigarette - yay!!! I used Champix and took my last tablet two weeks ago. I've been smoking for over 30 years and have never managed to give up - not even for a day. I am completely amazed that Champix worked. It was so much easier than what I thought it would be. I haven't been tempted to cheat although I do like the smell of second hand smoke!

I think what worked for me was getting rid of the whole notion of "giving up" smoking. I wasn't giving up anything, I was gaining so much. Very few people knew I smoked so I was a "closet" smoker. Now I no longer say no to outings or gatherings for fear I won't be able to smoke.

Good luck everyone. It's hard but so worth it.
