Quitting the worst habit of all times
I just can't stop smoking , even though i hate it so much. I can't imagine my life as a smoker. I hate how it taste and my smell after having a cigarette, and of course, i despise my self when i spend a lot of money on it. I tried so many time to quit, but i failed in every attempt. I think i don't have the required well for such brave and wise decision. I tried every thing, cold turkey method , nicotine gum, patches, .. etc. but non of these stopped me from my foolish, selfish , and reckless habit. Recently, i bought CHAMPIX , although it coast me a lot of money , but i think it'll help me quit. I read a lot about it and i hope it help me quit. But, i just don't feel a big difference! i still have an urge to smoke. It's been 6 days since i started this medication and still smoke once and a while - as instructed in CHAMPIX, in the 1st to 2nd week , you can smoke while taking the medication - . That's my story, and this's my struggle, so far. I lost so many battles against smoking but i hope to win the war.
it is the struggle before surrender, funnily enough its when we stop fighting it we have a chance and that does come with a struggle, so in my book you are on the right track.
in the mean time have a watch of this maybe it will help?

Titi s , you can do it , I have been on champix for 2 weeks and I'm day 4 of being smoke free, how the champix has worked for me is it stopped me enjoying smoking, as the champix blocks the pleasure part of you're brain, but I've heard that it sometimes doesn't work on a small percentage of people ☹️ , so when you have a cig see if you can feel a difference, do you feel pleasure during and after having one , try and quit around day's 10 while on champix, if you have a look on the packet , up the top of were the tablets are you see the strength change from 0.5 mg too 1.0 mg and from the increase of the medication I found it very easy to quit, I'm not on patches, sprays,gum et cold turkey for me, but maybe you need a combination of both, come on you can do this, you're not going to be alone, come on this journey with me, I had smoked for over 30 years and puffed away 50 cigarettes a day, I'm so proud of myself for quitting and when you do , you're going to feel so in powered and proud of yourself, also I don't think in forever I think in hours, a lot easier for the brain to get a grip on, come on you can do it 😀
TITI 5 you can do this! I am on champix also and I am on my first day of being smoke free. I have had the urge to have a smoke this morning but I just keep telling myself that I am a non smoker now and that's my decision ... not going to let smoking rule me anymore. We are here for you!
Congratulations tanzee , I think that the lead up too you're quit date is the worst part, I was a huge ball of nerves, but my quit date has come and gone and I'm now officially a non smoker day 4 , how I approach the cravings is either jump onto this website and talk to people of the likes of you and also I feel like it's similar to when you're dieting ( if you're accustomed to dieting like I am ) it can help you mentally, so be strong and be proud, we can do it together muwa 😀
Wow. Its cool there are some people will Champix experience here to help. I'm a cold turkey guy but whatever works is good for me!
