New Years Resolution
Hi everyone, I have been wanting to quit for a while. I started smoking at 16years of age and I am now 34, I would like to start a family soon and planned to quit before pregancy, this is my motivation even though i enjoyed smoking (this is my main trigger), I am starting to feel unhealthy and have a lack of energy. My partner also smokes and we plan to quit together he has been coughing alot and it worries me. I plan to go to the doctor and obtain a script for champix, do i need a reference number or can i tell the doctor that i joined I Can Quit support group can someone help me as i have set a date to quit and i know i will need all the help i can get.
no you don't need a reference number champix have their own website as well you can join that if you like or here the best way to quit is to be prepared when it gets close to your quit date get rid of all the smokes and ashtrays, i cannot comment on champix as i went cold turkey and am 153 days clean well all the best and goodluck.
Hi Violette,
Good girl on deciding to quit,the Champix are good and will help, but you have to really want to quit also. Good for you wish you well. Keep posting here it really helps you stay focused.
My doctor made the phone call in his office for me gave me the script and I started that day . I'm now on my 12th day have had a dull headache for a couple of days and I'm very cranky , thank god I live alone I have been awake for 4 hrs now and the thought of smoking makes me sick , I even had breakfast toast with Vegemite and really enjoyed it . I use to have a ciggi for breakfast . Violette just make sure you eat with your tablets it says you don't have to but I found I got nauseous if I didn't eat , also always keep headache tablets handy ,
