Staying quit

I’ve been using champix now for 19 days and it’s really helped. This is the 3rd time I’ve used it but this time I’ve persevered through the yuck feeling and horrid dreams I get and stuck to taking my tablets correctly. I’ve forgotten two night time ones but hey no ones perfect. This website has really helped me too, by reading your stories they’ve really helped me see the light at the end of the...

Hi everyone. I had a great time line dancing and listening to country music in Fiji. Best of all I stayed smoke free although I did have gum. It was really good not having to take time out to smoke and the plane trip was a breeze. Another 2kgs to lose but now the holidays are over I'm adding a zumba session to my two line dancing classes each week. Off to see a naturopath tomorrow so maybe she ca...

It’s been 12 months today smoke free it’s had it’s moments I’m not going to say it wasn’t hard I still have my moments 12 months on The hardest I’ve noticed is still when I get stressed Good Luck Everyone Lyn

This is about my 10th attempt to quit, i am on day 4 and so far i am feeling okay just seem to have more of an appetite. Hang in there if i can quit anyone can. I have an operation coming up and i want to quit to have it done

It’s the end of week 2. I struggled for the last 3 mornings mostly. Thank goodness for my patches help me get through. I have thought many times I would love to have just one but taken note from others not to get sucked back in. So here I am about to start week 3. Wish me luck

Its been a year today and I start my first day of another year of staying smoke free. What I have learnt in this year is to mantain a healthy balance between obsessing about not smoking and not getting complacent. Obsess just enough that you don't think its easy to stay quit but don't fret about not smoking so much that it consumes your days with it This forum has been helpful; just to get ...

Today is Day 14, yippee! I am so glad made it here and I'm doing it one day at a time. I have been drinking a lot of water as it's supposed to flush out the toxins. I have also been taking walks. I am still wearing the 14mg patch but I take it off after 12 hours. That might mean that I am really only getting 7mg a day. I really think it does cause vivid dreams but since they're not bad I suppo...

My Second Journey and on Day 9. I started smoking as a teenager and it went on full force until I was 39. I quit for 12 years and then smoked one lousy cigarette and here I am two years later on Day 9. So dumb. I guess I forgot how ridiculously difficult withdrawal is. My advice, one day at a time and if I think about a smoke ask myself how much I enjoy withdrawal! I am starting to breathe bette...

188 days today. Holy cow. I quit logging in and commenting because I wanted that part of my life gone. Then I realised that I came here looking for answers, looking for encouragement, and by not updating, I may be stripping someone else’s answers that they need. So here goes. About 6 months of no cigarettes. If I say it was easy, I’d be lying. If some dude light up 50 meters from me and the wind...

I made it through Day 8 despite a stressful situation. I thought about smoking but stayed strong. Very tough but I did it. I am taking the patch off at night as sleep has been difficult even though I am tired during the day. I had some vivid dreams too so tonight I took the patch off 2 hours before bed tonight. We'll see if that helps. Also I have decided to stay on the patch for at least...
