Champix miracles
I started Champix begrudgingly on the 22nd October, not wanting to quit but needing to. I honestly didn't think it would work as I hold a smoking connection with every part of my daily life. Ten minutes after the first tablet I had chronic headache and for the first five days I struggled to stay awake. This Tuesday I thought it was time to change my routine so didn't have a cigarette all morning. Feeling good I gave in and immediately felt ill. Back came headaches and tiredness. Wednesday I smoked half a cigarette, Thursday half, Friday 1 and yesterday was my first day completely smoke free. From 20-30 a day for 15 years with no will power to none in 10 days is a huge achievement for me. I know it affects everyone differently but if you are sceptical give it a try. It took me 5 days to pluck the courage up to take the first tablet after reading the side effects. I am a type 1 diabetic so have been worried about my sugar levels but so far so good. I have no want for a cigarette for 96 hours and that is a miracle! :)
Well done - keep positive. It is so good to hear stories like this and it inspires all of those thinking about quitting to consider the options. I have also used medication but I used Zyban. I am almost certain it has helped me with cravings. That doesn't mean that I don't have to employ will power each and every day but I now know it is only for a short period each day.
Keep up the great work.
