Hello there! I have been smoking for over 6 years and mostly i was behavior driven smoker that I had to smoke whenever I had to think about something to accomplish or whenever something stressful or emotional happened. It was such a difficult experience at my first quit-smoke attempt with champix for 2 months which I could barely purchase from where I live. It was in March 2015 and was quit until May 2015 where it reached the point I was at my worst character, angry everyday and didnt do well at my job, even thought of quitting my job because everyone in workplace seemed annoying and job itself, was less motivated to do anything at all at work. So relapsed because of work pressure from management. Then after having done my job for the quarter, now again quit for about a week without any NRTs. Actually quit date was June 1st, but I had slip-ups where I occasionally puffed cigarette of co-workers so now is only a week since I completely quit. There are quitzits-acne now all over my face and I again feel not-motivated, not-inspired, bored, boring, angry, helpless but worst has gone now calmer compared to the last few days, hope to get well within a week because I am starting to exercise sports actively which helps me to improve mood and lessen strength. Anyways, I am happy I have quit because I am getting married this september afterwards we are planning to have a baby so it is inevitable seriously important for me!! Will keep up with my mood changes and acne problem currently I have. Good luck all stick to your quit motivation.
