It` been about twelve weeks for me now since my last cigarette, the real test was last week in Costa Rica down there with a couple of smokers and all the booze and what not.

The Champix has been a godsend and really helped take the edge off I can actually get through the day now without thinking about having a smoke,each day seems easier.

 

Now I just have to work on that 10 pounds!!

Hey Captain let me tell you something if I was to try and quit smoking on willpower alone I would last about 90 minutes.

You have to be ready to quit if you think your ready talk to your doctor about Champix, for me Champix has been a wonder drug.

You must have noticed your circle of friends that are still smoking is getting smaller mine is of the people I consider close friends I was the last one who smoked and where once 75% of our office smoked that number is now 10%.

I don`t want to sound preachy but the benefits of not smoking are incredible after only 12 weeks I have noticed I am breathing much better and walking up the stairs is not a chore any more.

I have about 300 bucks more a month in my pocket,my car does not stink,my clothes do not stink,and my garage does not smell like an ashtray any longer.

But the biggest benefit in my opinion is not be held hostage by that nicotine craving pretty much everything I did was based on my need for smoke.

 

When your ready go talk to your doctor,Champix maybe what you need to change your life.

What he said. Every bit of it. If I did not have the Champix help I would not last the first week. I have piss poor will power and I did it.

Cigarettes, a demon I'm still battling after several years of failed attempts to quit.

Kudos to all that are that are doing better than I. clapping.gif

This boards full of quitters!

 

Me too, 3+ weeks and counting, Champix. I am off the meds now, wicked nightmares (no joke).

Be Very Very Careful with Future, Champix-Less cravings.

 

I had quit for 6 months, the nice weather rolled around and I decided to have one with a beer. They got more frequent, and within a month I am almost back up to my former amount, and barely treading water where the re-quit is concerned.

 

Whereas champix can make you feel a little weird, you should stay on it for longer, as opposed to shorter time frames.

 

Congrats on the quit, but be sure to stay diligent. Quitting is a struggle for years and you need to keep your guard up (and find something to replace smoking - try tying flies or something, or going for a walk whenever you get a craving).

 

Regards.
