Quit experiences

7 days ago I was prescribed Champix as I decided I had to quit smoking as I require open heart surgery. I was asked if now was a good time to quit by the doctor (I also have bipolar). He feared due to the stress, both mentally & physically it may cause complications in the lead up to my surgery. Mind you I don’t know when the surgery will happen but I have decided to be prepared. So in conjunctio...

Champix has been amazing! I'm on day 20 and I am 9 days smoke free ^-^ Some days when I'm a bit stressed I'll still use the NRT inhaler but it's been about 2 times since I started Champix. Previously to starting Champix I was using patches for about 3 weeks, also using gum and the inhaler when needed. I had been cutting down smoking as well during those 3 weeks. The patches gave me strange dr...

It has now been 10 months since I had a cigarette. I was smoking a pack a day and 1 day I just stopped with the aid of nicotine patches. The first 6 weeks were the hardest. At 4 weeks I was very anxious but i thought that it would be a huge waste to get this far and start smoking again. It is by no means easy but after 6 week the cravings started to subside. I still get the occasional feel for 1...

well, I used up the 4 week 'Initial' supply of Champix and (as instructed) back to the doctor (120 more pills?). So I went to the 'Official' mytimetoquit site looking for info on these pills....well, I was led to the 'Google-PlayStore' and it's the hardest sign-up, most posts are over 4yrs old and vague. So, I'm back here :). I am happy with my progress 1-3 ciggs. a day down from 30-50 I haven't ...

I went on the 'Champix' as my doctor recommended (I wanted patches) and for the first 2wks I couldn't understand this (keep smoking) and wait or set a date....both were :( to me. But, I have realised I was smoking less after 3-days and now about 3wks something good (weird) I don't "FEEL" like a smoke, but not like a nicotine patch where the craving ceases but I still want something in my fingers....

I live in Perth and apparently theres no Zyban to be had anywhere. All Chemists are out and not expecting anymore till end of July. Luckily, Ive got past that initial cravings phase so I should be ok, but could be a real problem for people just starting or coming off their 1st short prescription. Is it the same in other states?

This is my second quit. In 2010 I quit smoking cigarette using NRT.I used the patch for about 3 weeks but then I discovered the inhaler and switched to that. I got addicted to the inhaler and now 9 years later I am going through my second quit. After 9 years I started to get cravings for cigarettes and found the inhaler was nt working, so I started the patches. One day I had a cigarette and that ...

I have tried numerous times to quit but I am determined to not give in this time. I have the quit app, patches and nicotine gum, I am on day 2 today, I won’t lie otherwise I would be lying to myself but... I have had 5 smokes since I started this attempt but this morning I had one rollie and I started coughing my guys up. It’s hard because my mother smokes and she lives with me but... I went all ...

<header id="branding"> <div class="slider_2" data-id="2"> <div class="huge-it-wrap"> <div class="huge-it-slide-bg"> Picking up starting to smoke is a decision often regretted. A destructive habit with no positives, but for the benefit of the bank accounts of the tobacco company directors. With what we know about the destructive outcomes of smoking, it is now almost universally seen as a bad l...

I used to smoke at least 2 packets per day for almost 20 years. I severally tried to quit without sucess. 😀 It was in 2018 while visiting a doctor friend when I learnt about the wonder drug zyban and decided to give it a try. I've got it from "GETZYB2SS" (you can search on Google, I don’t remember the link). I’ve got great results with it. I took 1 tablet per day for 1 week and has never looked ...
