Champix

I am 32 days cigarette free and I can tell you that I am enjoying it immensely. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the champix. I am into week 7 and apart from the initial .5mg week, it has been horrible. Nausea, stomach pain, constipation and wind.....run to the chemist and get something for that. I eat with it but it does not help. Bad dreams and broken sleep for someone that used to be able to hit the pillow and sleep for 6-7 hrs in one position without moving at all. But the champix is working. I have had the occasional craving but they are irregular and very short. I have a boxing bag and have been beating the Sh!t out of it like a woman possessed. Exercise is definitely helping. I'm glad to be smoke free. I don't miss it. My partner still smokes and sometimes the smell wafts into the house and makes me feel ill. I have save $584 dollars since quitting. I don't know what I will do with it but I'm never wasting money on bloody cigarettes again.

Treat yourself to a nice pampering session or get glammed up. Buy a dress and shoes and hit the town. You deserve it! Well done on being 32 days smoke free.

Thank you cassa, I'm very excited. Imagine what I can do with the $6600 I save after a year!
