Hi All, I trust you are all having a great Queens Birthday Long Weekend and remaining smoke free.  My cravings are getting less and less now and I have not really thought about smoking at all.  The nausea has definately gone for me.  I make sure that I take my Champix straight after breakfast and dinner.  I have been getting slight headaches though.  Is anyone else getti...

Hi All,   Whoop Whoo!!  One week today as a non smoker and love it.  I think I am on Day 15 of Champix, not sure, Day 2 of Pack Two if that makes any sense.  I open up my icanquit mobile app(MyQuitBuddy) on my phone yesterday and it said to treat myself to a haircut for doing so well.  I like that idea, but I am bald already, lol.  True story. Having some weird ni...

Nearly one week down with non smoking and the Blues finally one a game.  Can't wait till they come to Qld so we can beat them there at Suncorp Stadium.  To the non smokers that resisted tonight, Well done.  It was a tough night for me with the footy on but I resisted te,ptation.  Plas a 3 km walk to the 7-11 store half tanked in a Blues jersey in Queensland.  Maybe not wo...

Hi All, Today has been a pretty tough day for me.  I have thought about smoking heaps but have so far resisted the temptation and am determined to not give in.  Its Day 13 of Champix and Day 6 of smoke free.  I have come this far and want to complete my first week as a non smoker.   Having a glass of red and watching the State of Origin tonight and am very wary that this may...

Hi All, Had such a great day today.  Even had fresh prawns at the beach with my beautiful wife, just chilling. No cravings still, well, I don't think so anyway.  Pasta for dinner, not one serve but two.  Now thats a slight problem at present, my weight.  I am about 75 kg now but if this food addiction continues, Michelin Tyres may want to employ me for their TV Ads, ie Michel...

Morning All,   Had a wonderful night sleep with some amazing dreams again.  Woke myself up talking so must have been good.  Ok, my Tip today is never go to sleep with a boiled lolly in your mouth.  Cos you'll wake up with a sticky face and your face stuck to the pillow.  So if you were a last minute puffer before you went to bed and now have to change that habit, a smal...

Hi All, When in a stressful situation, try & remain calm & instead of this of smoking, fake a few deep breaths & think about a holiday at an erotic island for a few minutes.

If you using Champix, use must eat first to reduce that chance of nausea.

Hi Everbody, This is Day Three for me and about the 8th day on Champix.  If others have experienced the nasty side of Champix, including belly aches etc, I have found that if I eat my meal and take the tablet about 5 mins after, the belly aches do not appear.  The 'No sleep' at night time is evident, along with the dreams but thats better than getting lung cancer from smoking.  I ...
